NCAT Webinar Series: February, March, April and May 2016

Recordings of NCAT's spring webinar series are available below. Each hour-long webinar had as its theme moving beyond a single course redesign to both improve learning and reduce costs. The speakers discussed how course redesign spread on campus after at least one successful course redesign was completed. Following a presentation, the speaker was available to answer questions and provide additional specifics about scaling course redesign.
