This workshop will include a live webinar keynote presented via zoom beginning at 9:00 a.m. The rest of the workshop will be self-paced for you to choose the pre-recorded breakout sessions of your choice to design your own unique learning experience. This will offer particpants the ability to access a blended conference - where the beginning is live and will have engaged audience members. Then after the keynote session is concluded, the attendees can move through the remainder of the CANVAS course at their own pace. We hope you will find this format engaging and relevant to your needs at this time!
