mêskanâs Blitz is a series of webinars that are designed to provide instructors with ideas and strategies on how to incorporate different elements of the digital learning environment into their teaching and learning activities.

The first session is scheduled for January 19 at 12 p.m. and we will kick it off by showing you how to use the Book tool for organizing and presenting content.
