Fall 2023 Events
ACâš¡DC Jam Session
AC⚡DC Jam sessions will be on the 1st Friday of each month at 9 AM via Zoom. These are open discussions on anything related to adaptable course design. Bring questions about something you learned, share ideas from things you’ve tried, brainstorm solutions to complications you’ve encountered, or yodel a verse on pedagogy. Join us for an hour of harmonizing about ways to make our courses more adaptable and engaging for ourselves and our students.
