During “Birds of a Feather” Friday, attendees can join DELTA staff and campus colleagues for engaging, information discussions about topics such as:

• MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses)
• Flipping the Classroom
• Videos and Screencasting

On Friday, attendees will have the opportunity to bring their Moodle 2 questions to the Open Lab.

On Monday and Wednesday, we’ll be hosting luncheon presentations from noon – 1:30 p.m. Monday’s presentation, “Creating and Using Learning Objects,” will be presented by Dr. Betty Black, NC State Professor of Biology.
