CPCX Supports Virtual Collaboration During COVID
CPCX has promoted virtual collaboration skills, methods, and tools for years. When COVID-19 hit in March 2020, CPCX immediately responded with a webinar series designed to help Districts shift internal and external collaborations to virtual platforms. CPCX acted quickly to move its training courses online, mastering the platforms of WebEx, Blackboard, and Google Classroom. The instructors’ use of virtual technology to deliver Public Involvement and Teaming in Planning was recently called “groundbreaking” by ULC leadership.
