Anthology Training: Using Data to Inform and Improve

Bring your laptop and join us for three days of professional development on using data to inform and improve academic and learning-support planning and practices. The University of Idaho will be hosting the Anthology Professional Services Team, who have decades of experience in the field of higher education, assessment and EdTech.

All workshops are open and free for U of I employees. Employees may choose to attend any learning session(s) they are interested in.

Employees who attend all workshops associated with a track will earn an e-certificate and the achievement will be recorded on the employee’s official learning record.

For questions or to learn more, email Sara Mahuron.
