U-M has now officially announced a plan for fall term that will include a mix of online and in-person instruction. CRLT consultants are available throughout the summer to provide ideas, tools, and resources as you think through ways to shift your teaching methods and expectations to align with this hybrid approach. Whether you need to reimagine your course or modify an already flexible design, CRLT is here to support you with a range of services as you plan for Fall 2020, including the following:

Ready to Go Blue (R2GB) – Teaching Fall 2020

Offered by a consortium of central and school/college academic support units, Ready to Go Blue (R2GB) sessions will provide support for these efforts ranging from highlighting pedagogical best practices, to how-to sessions on specific tools, and opportunities for consultations.
