Webinar 1: The EdTech toolkit - How to select the right tool for the learning needs Wednesday 22nd May 1-2pm 

This webinar talks through a variety of tools that can be used in conjunction with Brightspace. As an Edtech we walk the academic through a variety of questions to discern what the needs of the learner are and the best way to deliver the content. Whether it's Storyline 360, creating an HTML page in Brightspace or your own PowerPoint made better with some UDL principles, this talk maps out how to choose the best tool.

It has a strong research basis being developed by faculty from the University of Toronto. In this webinar, we will give an overview of how to access and set up peerscholar in Brightspace, and describe how the Create, Assess and Reflect phases work.
