SUNY OTTER Institute 2024: Student Voices Edition

The SUNY Center for Professional Development (CPD) OTTER Institute is an opportunity for online practitioners, regardless of teaching modality or experience, to learn more about online education’s innovations, trends, and challenges. The OTTER Institute is FREE to all SUNY campus members. The webinars will be recorded and shared with participants at the conclusion of OTTER 2024.

This year’s OTTER will focus on student voices. Each webinar will commence with online students from across SUNY sharing their experiences and preferences for online course materials, course design, communication tools, interaction, and more.

The second half of each webinar will focus on how we can use Brightspace to meet student expectations and preferences.
