New and Exciting Workshops
With a large percentage of WebE Training complete, the Butler Online team is anxious to begin developing and presenting new workshops to enhance the teaching in online and face-to-face courses. Some training will be particular to Canvas and/or SALSA but we also plan workshops to integrate outside resources in the classroom.

SALSA Syllabus Survey
We developed and distributed a SALSA Survey to gather input from users. Approximately 132 instructors responded. We will use the responses to make improvements to the training and to SALSA itself. Stay tuned for more information.
Lightboard
Lightboards are presently being used at BOE and BOA. The lightboard at BOE is available for use during Nixon Library evening and weekend hours.
We are learning new strategies with every use. Check out this production by Taryn Cipra. Taryn and Terry Sader have created several recordings and added them to their courses in Canvas. Students report that the presentations are truly valuable in understanding the course information.
