iDevelop – NSCC’s Faculty Profession​al Developmen​t eNewslette​r (10/6/2014​)

Welcome to iDevelop, a weekly eNewsletter providing faculty with information about professional development opportunities at NSCC.  The intent of this eNewsletter is to spotlight the various professional development events for faculty in one convenient location as well as share best practices, resources and tips related to the teaching practice.


20 Minute Online Professional Development: Linking, Embedding & Streaming: What’s Legal? What’s Not?
The Monday Morning Mentor series will be available over the fall semester to bring you professional development in twenty minute snippets.  The topic for the week of October 6th is Linking, Embedding & Streaming: What’s Legal? What’s Not? 

The presentation is available Monday at 10:00am and is accessible through Sunday of that week.  For information on accessing the presentation and supplemental materials, please view the email version of iDevelop or the Bulletin notice.
