This workshop utilizes Chickering and Ehrmann's 1996 work surrounding the 7 principles of good teaching practice, focusing on how to make solid technology choices for online teaching. Developed for Michigan State University, frequently iterated, highly collaborative. This particular PowerPoint is the one I use, but it was developed as a collaborative effort and is not my work alone.
