Follow-Up Resources
This page is set up so that seminar participants as well as facilitators can add in "for further information" resources for each of the modules. Our main asks are to make use of hyperlinks to share locations of digital/virtual resources (review how to via the short video Creating Hyperlinks in Canvas), and to add resources for a particular module once that module's opened up.
