About the program

Why this? Why now?

As a literacy instructor today, you need to feel comfortable and confident when working in a digital workspace environment. Whether it’s Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 or another suite, you need to be ready to equip your learners with the digital collaboration skills they will need in school, work and other contexts. 


As we return to our program spaces, many practitioners are applying their experience with remote learning to expand the range of learning opportunities. We’ve had a moment to take a breath, but it is probably fair to say we are all still feeling somewhat overwhelmed as we try to sort through the myriad of choices and options available to us.

We know that effectively managing and creating collaborative learning environments requires thoughtful planning and organization AND that it is much easier to learn how to do this with the support of experienced facilitators and the collective wisdom of our colleagues.
