The newest version of Moodle allows you to create, collect, grade, and return assignments from one place. This workshop will cover all aspects of doing online assignments in Moodle with plenty of time for questions and hands on activities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Wednesday 8\/27\/14 from 1:30PM &#8211; 2:30PM in McCabe 306<\/strong><\/p>\n<h1>One-on-one Sessions<\/h1>\n<p>ITS is also offering half-hour one-on-one sessions with one of our Academic Technologists.
