DARE To Care On-line Training
DARE To Care is a FREE, Web-based, interactive multimedia simulative training program in which faculty learn to identify and handle disabled student issues in their on-campus and distance learning classes. The Faculty Training is content-rich, based on educationally sound learning principles, and can be accessed from any internet-connected computer at http://dare.lbcc.edu.
