Community College Live Webcast Series
Starting in April 2011, American Public University System is pleased to offer a unique and informative monthly webcast series covering a variety of topics regarding online learning and teaching best practices. All webcasts are live and presented by classroom practitioners. There is no cost to register and we encourage you to include your entire team or department. Events are live and interactive, but will also be archived for on-demand viewing.
APU would like to thank the Rural Community College Alliance and Community College Baccalaureate Association for their input regarding topics of interest and for making this opportunity available to their memberships.
