This offering is part of our EdTech Sandbox series. Each EdTech Sandbox session is an opportunity to get to know and play with digital tools and resources that support your work and your students’ learning. Each of the four sessions will address a different theme, with multiple options to suit your classroom or program. 

The theme of this EdTech Sandbox session is digital content creation and liquid syllabi. A liquid syllabus is a highly accessible, engaging, and flexible online version of your course syllabus that is meant to offer a warm, personalized welcome to students and connect them with their instructor and the course. A liquid syllabus can be a website, blog post, video, document, or even a few slides that you share with students before they join your class. Liquid syllabi can be used in any context (synchronous or asynchronous; in-person, remote, or hybrid) to help establish a class culture and a sense of belonging. 

Creating a liquid syllabus is also a great opportunity to build your own toolbox and learn the skills to create digital content! In this session, we’ll explore tools for crafting and sharing these dynamic syllabi. We'll review their components and experiment with digital tools to create, host, and populate them with custom content. You'll also have the chance to build your own liquid syllabus for use in the upcoming semester.

Course Format: The course is online facilitated over Zoom and is designed to be hands-on.

Course Requirements: To complete the course, you must attend the one-hour session.

Extending Your Learning: After the course, you will continue to have access to course materials and ongoing conversation through an EdTech Sandbox Canvas page. We welcome you to extend your learning by building on the project that you will start during this session and by sharing your work and questions with your colleagues in Canvas.
