PrairieLearn Workshop

We are offering a PrairieLearn workshop to help you create your course content before the semester starts. Here is the schedule:

Topic: PrairieLearn Workshop

July 13 - July 17, 2020
3:00 - 4:00 pm CDT each day (5 meetings total)

Access Recordings

What to do before the workshop

  1. Request your PL course space (if you have not done that yet).
  2. Complete the “Get Started Tutorial” once you receive the confirmation that your course was created.

During the workshop

We will not be going over prepared presentations during the workshop. We will focus on creating content “live” during the meetings, and providing feedback to content created by the attendees. We will encourage everyone to develop PL questions outside of the workshop, so that we can review your work during the meetings.
