Join the NSF INCLUDES Aspire Alliance's National Change Team for our short-course that will
walk instructors through the process of designing an online course that is effective, equitable and inclusive. It will focus on designing content and choosing pedagogy for both synchronous and asynchronous formats, and will engage participants through both types of sessions. The course will address the basics of online and inclusive pedagogy. Over the three weeks, participants will design their own online course materials.

Registration will be limited to 150 participants and spots are filling quickly, so please register soon to secure your spot!
