LEAD Online Technological Information
IMPORTANT NOTE:
We will be using Zoom for the video conferencing platform for LEAD Online 2020. We will not be using Webex as originally intended.
Platforms and Technology:
LEAD Online will utilize Zoom for lectures and video interaction and Moodle for hosting materials and forums.
