This user-friendly session will provide a crash course on the CTLT’s online publishing framework.

Best of all, these tools are all hosted, supported, and freely provided by the CTLT. This will be informal hands-on workshop with lively discussion and activities that focus on UBC supported technology that can enhance your learning and teaching environments.
