Free Online Workshops from Sloan-C
Thanks in part to a subsidy from the USM, Towson University is a member of the Sloan Consortium. Sloan-C provides a variety of avenues for sharing effective practices in online education. To this end, Sloan-C hosts online workshops and publishes applied research studies, the Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks (JALN) and much more!
