The LCCOP will have 2 in-person events per semester for faculty to meet and generate ideas to assemble onto a Canvas course page and discuss any application of these resources with support from the CTL. These meetings are also a space to simply network and see how these resources can apply to your course as time and effort allows. Online communities and discussion through the Canvas page will allow faculty to share thoughts between in-person meetings and browse resources.
