As we kick off the Fall'11 semester, The Penn Language Center will offer 4 series of Tech Workshops in the LRC, Williams 440. A goal of these workshops is to show how various tools can be used to create course materials (text, audio and video) for discussion in the classroom and for discussion online outside the classroom. Also, get ideas for a project that you might base a proposal on for an Instructional Technology Grant through the Penn Language Center.

Each workshop from each series is offered in September. Don't forget to click the "Submit" button when you are finished making your selections.
