This public gallery showcases instructional strategies and course design methodologies used in online, hybrid, and in-person courses, as well as professional development courses and campus community groups. Each subpage details the rationale for the strategy, the course it was used in, the instructor who used it, and the technology used. These exemplars are intended to emphasize the strategy used while being as technology agnostic as possible.
