Training
Workshops
TSL's workshop series are designed to train you in the use of a variety of tools as well as best practices for employing them in your courses. You can take a full series to earn the certificate for it, or you can take one-off sessions as they work for you. TSL workshops are open to anyone teaching at Rice University. You can find the schedule and register on our TSL Events Calendar.
Our online workshops are recorded and posted on our Training Center page. If you would like to watch these videos, visit the Training Center.
