A 6-hour interactive webinar offered in three 2-hour sessions, using the Zoom online videoconferencing platform.

A set of electronic resources (articles, videos, diagrams, etc.) is provided to each participant. The webinar is recorded for the benefit of participants who wish to review it later. Participants are invited to join a Google group for discussion between sessions and after the webinar ends. Light homework will be assigned for each session.

PLEASE NOTE: The webinar depends in part on visual aids such as PowerPoints and infographics. While Zoom allows participants to phone in without a camera, we do not recommend this. The webinar is designed as a videoconference, and important content will be lost to participants lacking video capability. Please plan to use a device equipped with webcam.
