Dear Educators,

All content, discussions and assignments will reside in this Canvas course. Online coursework will include:

Reading course materials, watching videos and exploring examples
Sharing and reflecting with other class participants in discussion forums
Completing projects and assignments

NOTE: You may notice that a number of the elements in the course were creating using the "discussion" feature. Please don't assume that a reply will be required. Often, the discussion element is used to foster collaboration and encourage sharing. Unless explicitly stated, you are not required to reply, but positive contributions to the conversation are always welcomed and appreciated.

Additional resources will also be included in the course, but will be marked as "optional".

Again, welcome!
