Registration is open for the SUNY Center for Professional Development's OTTER Spring Course Design Institute, May 8–June 16.

The OTTER Institute (Online Teaching: Technology and Educational Resources), free to all SUNY campus members, is an opportunity for online practitioners, regardless of teaching modality, to learn more about online education’s innovations, trends, and challenges. Once again, they are responding to the new digital learning environment’s implementation and focusing their programming on Brightspace.

Each six-week component of the 2023 OTTER Institute will consist of a weekly two-hour webinar that will be recorded and housed within the CPD’s Brightspace environment. See examples of best practices for course design and delivery within Brightspace. Learn about the tools and features within Brightspace that will help you create and deliver effective and engaging digital course content.

OTTER participants can attend the sessions live or review the recording and companion materials online. Following the weekly webinars, participants will have an opportunity to work with instructional designers and Brightspace experts to build or redesign their Brightspace course materials.
