The eLPS staff presents a series of technology-related workshops designed to help faculty use technology in support of their teaching. These workshops, most often scheduled for 60 minutes, are held in the eLPS Lab, Fine Arts 138, and taught by knowledgeable, patient staff. Faculty are welcome to bring their course materials to apply what they learn to their own courses.
All workshops also discuss CSU accessibility mandates for meeting ADA 508 compliance.
