Thinking about how to go about converting your face-to-face course into an online class for the upcoming semester? Don’t know where to start? You’ve come to the right place!

In addition to resources, there are several opportunities to get more support: including one-on-one conversations with CTL consultants, synchronous workshops, and asynchronous opportunities to engage with your colleagues at Baruch.
