We end the year by looking back at what we covered in CompilED for 2021. This year was still with its unique challenges of hybrid workspaces and learning environments, but we’re proud of our work in instructional technologies at the CTL.
Our team develops both software and media for the teaching and learning community, so, we posted in CompilED three articles on the work in media production. We shared what we learned in developing many of our software projects, securing our infrastructure, and also touching upon the processes involved in user stories and experience.
And we’ll begin the new year year with a resolution to continue our efforts in advancing the culture and innovation in teaching and learning. Onward and upward!
