Following the abrupt shift to remote learning in spring 2020, the Associated Colleges of the Midwest developed a summer workshop series to enhance online course design and pedagogies.
The ACM is an incubator and catalyst for relevant programming that advances the academic and professional success of faculty, students, and staff at the 14 liberal arts member campuses. The eight-week series, recorded June-August 2020, is now available for streaming to all liberal arts educators.
