Introduction

Crane 302 is the first hybrid classroom of its kind at CCAD. As such, it offers many possibilities for hybrid delivery and different ways for students to engage with you and each other. This also means that it will take some time for you to learn how to use the room, and what settings work best for you and your class. We are here whenever you need help or have questions.
