This presentation was given as part of a semester training seminar for new faculty members. Academic Boot Camp (ABC) is a four (4) day intensive seminar that emphasizes the pedagogical basics of learning objectives, learning events, and assessment item writing. This intensive 4-day seminar/workshop has been re-tooled post-pandemic to not only teach the pedagogical basics but also emphasize technology and the skills needed for remote teaching and learning.
