The Faculty Collaboratory supports a range of learning technologies, including Brightspace, Zoom, Padlet, Hypothesis, VoiceThread, and the BMCC OpenLab. We offer ongoing workshops and online resources, as well as individual support. Our team of learning experience designers can help you incorporate technology in your course or student activity. We also organize events, such as the Brightspace Bistro, that enable faculty to share how they are using technology in their classes with colleagues.
Have questions about how to incorporate these technologies in your courses? Join one of our workshops, stop by our Zoom drop-in hours for faculty, or email DEFacSupport@bmcc.cuny.edu.
