A note about deliverables
This is a fully remote, asynchronous Course Design resource. It is not facilitated. Assignments and Quizzes are not received, and Discussions are not moderated. Additionally, Discussion posts and replies in this course can be viewed by all self-enrolled individuals.
All that said, we very much hope you'll reach out to CAFE any time. Let us help you connect with other faculty and staff who are doing great work. If you want feedback on anything, or more resources, we're glad to provide that too.
See the Syllabus for more information.
