TBR-Virtual Edition

In this course, we will explore "brain science" (cognitive neuroscience) as it relates to learning in a virtual environment. Using the foundation of six brain science principles and a four-step instructional design, we'll model at least 40 activities to engage learners.

The course consists of five virtual sessions that are two and a half hours long. There will be about an hour and a half of required "homework" between each session. All assignments must be completed to receive the TBR-VE Class Certificate of Completion awarded through Bowperson Publishing & Training, Inc.
