    This professional development activity/course is designed for:

  • Program administrators and instructors who already use or plan to adopt Northstar Digital Literacy
Description

In this two-hour workshop, Northstar trainer Theresa Sladek will show you how to guide learners through taking Northstar assessments and explain the student dashboard to learners. She will also walk you through using the self-directed Northstar Online Learning (NSOL) curricula from a student perspective, so that you will be equipped to onboard your remote learners to the curricula and support them as needed. Theresa will also give an example of using the instructor-led classroom curricula in a remote learning environment. Lastly, Theresa will walk you through how to proctor Northstar assessments at your program. 

We are also offering Getting Started with Northstar Digital Literacy on November 17, which guides you in orienting your students to the platform and assessments. Each session stands on its own, but we recommend attending all three sessions if possible. Get in touch with Kathleen at kathleen_oconnell@worlded.org if you'd like to access the recordings of these sessions.
