Description

Critical thinking, communication, collaboration/team building and innovation/creativity have been consistently articulated as top skills and competencies by organizations for employee development, talent management, succession planning and organizational growth. Yet most graduates lack proficiency in these skills. While institutions want faculty to leverage more technology for engagement and faculty are ready to use it meaningfully for coursework, it somehow gets lost in translation.

Join us for a one day training event to learn how Office 365 can help faculty and staff incorporate technology strategically so students will be prepared to keep up with the fast pace of change in businesses and to compete in a global society. 

Bring your own device to this one-day training designed for higher education institutions who want to learn more about Microsoft’s tools and resources for managing learning, engaging learners, delivering content seamlessly and completing administrative tasks associated with college courses.
