Online Teaching Virtual Class Series:
The University of South Carolina Center for Teaching Excellence constructed a virtual class series on online teaching, in partnership with the two UofSC Schools of Medicine. These four sessions offer valuable insights into course development, design and delivery, and provide a useful set of resources to faculty members. This series is recommended for faculty who are engaged in the delivery of both synchronous (live-streamed) or asynchronous (recorded) content.
