As the semester comes to a close, the Technology & Learning Program (TLP) encourages you to drop in to our TLP Virtual Zoom room for expert help with end-of-semester tasks. Taking a little extra time to work on your grade book now, means less stress later in the month. Depending on your bandwidth, you might even consider previewing Start-of-Semester Tasks to get a head start while your course content is still fresh.
