Teaching with technology can range from the use of video in the classroom to organizing your course in a learning management system (Blackboard); or it can grow to as much as teaching hybrid courses, creating media, websites, and having no-cost OER courses fully online.

We are here to help you find creative and effective ways to integrate technology into your classroom or online course.

• Enhance collaborative teaching and learning
• Facilitate asynchronous and synchronous communication 
• Promote higher expectations via peer review and feedback
