Programs and students have been thrust into working together partially or completely online. This can be equally challenging for staff and students as both need to feel comfortable using tools and implementing them effectively for study. This webinar will demonstrate ways that one experienced program coordinator/teacher has found to be successful, specifically with students who have beginner-level digital literacy skills.
- Program directors, coordinators, advisors, and teachers interested in enhancing their ability to help students use technology to reach their goals

The presenter will discuss putting program-wide support into place, including considerations for the selection of appropriate tools as well as supporting staff so they in turn feel confident supporting their students.
