ABOUT

WHAT TO EXPECT

TALON is the Teaching And Learning Online Network. Through an open and evolving dialogue with faculty and students on emerging technologies and practices, TALON creates a hub for exchange. With a focus on the design disciplines, the TALON Resources provide an interactive lexicon for remote teaching with instructions on how to find, access and use applications. The TALON Letter highlights top tips on course design and pedagogy with additional insights into the digital classroom. These resources are complemented by the TALON Voices, discussions of personal experiences, spotlighting challenges and potentials of tools and approaches.
