January 11-15, 2021 Events
All January, 2021 events will be remote with most events being live online through Zoom, and other events being on-demand through recorded sessions from earlier ARC sessions or through LinkedIn Learning. All live online events and all ARC recorded events are free for anyone who is interested. LinkedIn Learning sessions are available to Wichita State instructors, staff, and students only and participants need to activate their WSU-provided LinkedIn Learning account first.
All live online events can be accessed without pre-registration, although we strongly encourage all Wichita State instructors and staff to sign up for the event throught myTraining in the myWSU portal to ensure your attendance is counted. All Wichita State instructors with verified attendance will receive a digital certificate for each session provided through Instructional Design and Access.
All live online sessions will be recorded, and links to the recordings will be available here as soon as they ready.
