ATLAS Office Hours: What Can You Ask ATLAS?

Erin Cary, Operations and Content Integration Coordinator

So, ATLAS has office hours now? What are those all about? What questions can we bring?

Office hours in “the ATLAS Lounge” are simply an informal, drop-in virtual conversation with an ATLAS staff member. Each of us at ATLAS holds interests and expertise in different areas, and we are eager to talk about teaching and learning with you. Bring your questions, new resources, & frustrations. We’re eager to hear more about your classroom and program.
