The Online Developer Workshop- Asynchronous Edition is an asynchronous workshop series designed to give you the tools you need to build
or rebuild an effective and engaging online course. Over six weeks, you’ll practice
your skills and prepare your course materials with a virtual cohort of other developers
and UM3D support. At the end of the workshop, you’ll have a fully developed, or redeveloped,
online course ready to use the next time you teach. All workshops take place online. Register by July 16. Space is limited to the first
20 registrants. The next in person workshop will occur in Fall 2025.
Registration is now closed. For information about this fall's hybrid Online Developer Workshop, please contact UM3D@memphis.edu
