Student Instructional Technology
Not all technology is created equal! In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Huston-Tillotson University has transitioned all traditional and ADP classes to remote and online instruction. Most ideally, this can be done through the Canvas Learning Management System. Class sessions can also be held live through a video conferencing system, deemed appropriate by the instructor. Stay ahead of the game by being prepared. Take time to learn these various instructional technologies – before you know it, you’ll be a wiz!
