Drop Ins: Ask & Engage
Sometimes you don’t need another workshop. You just need someone to help you figure something out. Join the MTSU Online Instructional Design team during an Ask & Engage virtual drop in session. Bring a Canvas question, an assignment you’re working on, a course design challenge, or simply something you’d like to explore.
No formal presentation. No registration. Just drop in and ask.
