EdTech Essentials in Action: Simple LMS Workflows Teachers Can Use Tomorrow

Description

Feeling like your LMS is doing more organizing than actually improving instruction? Want simple, repeatable workflows that save time while strengthening feedback and differentiation? Learning management systems can streamline planning, progress monitoring, and communication when used with clear instructional routines, and data from digital assignments can guide faster, more targeted support for students. In this course, Dr Courtney Teague shows you how to turn any LMS into a high-impact teaching tool using practical, tool-agnostic workflows you can apply in Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, Moodle, Microsoft Teams, or any platform. You will walk away with ready-to-use templates and simple routines you can implement tomorrow to make instruction clearer, feedback faster, and student support more effective.
