SITA - Student Instructional Technology Assistants
Student Instructional Technology Assistants (SITAs) work one-on-one with instructors on projects that enhance instruction with technology.
Blended Learning
In blended learning courses, instructors intentionally combine classroom teaching and purposeful online learning activities, so students engage in the course content both online as well as in a physical classroom. Thus, students are able to maintain some control over the time, place, and pace of their learning.
