Description

The Office of Digital Learning has planned professional learning opportunities for teachers and staff in order to improve teaching and learning and earn 1 CPD credit. In order to meet individual needs, Digital Learning University will be comprised of 15 different modules on topics from Basic PowerPoint to Leveraging Technology in a Learner Centered Classroom. Each module is 3 hours in length. Participants will attend five 2 hour face to face workshops and complete a one hour project for each (15 hours = 1 CPD credit). Registration for Digital Learning University is ongoing and is a two-step process: 
1- Teachers must register for Digital Learning University, located in the “PDC Inservice Catalog- CPD Courses” catalog of the Online Registration System. This will indicate interest in completing the 15 hours required to earn one CPD credit for Digital Learning University. 
2- Teachers then register for their individual Digital Learning University module choices in the “PDC Inservice Catalog- Professional Learning Modules” catalog of the Online Registration System. Registration will be open all year. Participants do not need to register for all five modules at once. Additional offerings will be available in the spring.
