What is BASE CAMP?Base Camp, or more formally, Essentials for Instruction in Multiple Modalities (EIMM), is a 4-day, 16-hour training that provides CGCC faculty with the basic tools and skills for success, no matter what the instructional modality. This training is the first step for faculty in mastering the mountain that is true, high-quality instruction.

The Base Camp training consists of 4 ESSENTIAL components OF INSTRUCTION ACROSS ALL MODALITIES:

What should I expect? During the live online portion of the training, you will attend an opening and closing virtual session using Cisco Webex - the chosen teleconferencing tool of Maricopa. The time between the opening and closing sessions, and any days scheduled for training, will be spent in the asynchronous environment within our Canvas LMS.
You will be managing two Canvas shells. One contains all the teaching materials for the training, Headquarters (Base Camp HQ), and the other is for you to develop as you complete the activities throughout Base Camp. CGCC values community building in the classroom, so you will be expected to work for some of the activities in a assigned group of your peers.
