DSI Course: Live Session Two

Thank you

The live session has ended. Recording available to view for students.

Description

This is the second session for this program. The live session will answer any questions you submitted through the course portal and any questions you have live on these modules. In addition, there will be some presentations on Signal Justification.

Once this live session concludes, you will be provided immediate access to Modules 6--8 to begin the training.

Important Notes:

We will be using Zoom. It is important to check your system requirements (see button to the right) prior to Monday to ensure you do not have difficulty joining the session.
This session will begin with instruction by ITE staff and lead instructors. Therefore we ask that when you join, you remain muted and camera toggled off.
There will then be an opportunity for live interactive session and the instructors may call on you in which you can unmute and turn on your camera.
