Here’s the workshop description: No doubt COVID-19 had you re-thinking how you teach your chemistry labs. Moving forward, what will you take from those changes, and what will a return to “normal” look like? Van-Griner Learning, an independent publisher, has been servicing the lab market for over a decade and they will share with you options and ideas on how you can make the most of your resources to deliver focused, flexible labs with choices for on-line, in-person or mixed content. Some benefits include:
A math instructor in Texas had their own text material but was using a major publisher’s homework software. Year after year, the price of the software kept increasing and so did the student complaints. We introduced her to Courseware and its built-in homework engine, and when she learned how much money it would save students, she enthusiastically switched. With the help of her project manager she is moving her text and homework into the platform for an all-in-one money-saving solution.
