UM System faculty and staff are invited to attend a webinar series associated with Missouri Online’s Sprint Ahead: Online Faculty Development Program. Browse these sessions on our events page using the Filter “Sprints.”

Instructional designers and faculty guests will present highlights from one or more Sprint areas related to online teaching and learning (design, assessment, community, and/or inclusion) and innovative areas such as artificial intelligence. You’ll discover high-engagement, active learning strategies and have the chance to ask questions and learn from peers.

If you choose to enroll in the associated sprints to continue your learning, you’ll be well-prepared to earn badges in the program.

Below are the webinars taking place throughout October and November.
