But, how do I actually do it?
Transitioning into online modes of WIL is one of the greatest challenges facing WIL educators at present. In this webinar, join colleagues from the Global WIL community to hear from those who have successfully been teaching in online modes and those who have recently transformed their programs to move online. This webinar is the second in a series that ACEN will offer members as a practical means to support your response to COVID-19.
