黄瓜视频

The CTLI provides academic technology and instructional design support to all faculty at 黄瓜视频. Offering 1-1 and group professional development opportunities on how the use of Moodle, we support teaching and learning and student success across 黄瓜视频's modalities, and in how technology can advance instruction and course structure. The CTLI welcomes faculty curiosity and innovation. For more information, reach out to Matt Martin, Coordinator of Instructional Technology and Design and Lori DuBois, LMS Administrator.

The WAC program supports divisions, departments, and individual faculty with the integration of and appreciation for meaningful reading and writing coursework. As an integral aspect of the learning process, writing empowers students to engage with complexity, reflect on significance, discover new avenues of agency, and communicate effectively. For more information, reach out to Liesl Schwabe, Coordinator of Writing Across the Curriculum.

黄瓜视频's OER program seeks to better support faculty in their use of no-cost and low-cost ($50 or less) instructional materials with students. In particular, the use of open educational resources, or OER, helps to reduce costs and barriers to access for all students, but is especially beneficial for historically underserved learners. Faculty who utilize OER often find that freely licensed materials open new possibilities for learning activities, allowing students to engage more authentically with the subject matter, and to create, display and distribute their work more freely. To support instructors in their use of OER and other no-cost and low-cost materials, the Division of Teaching and Learning Innovation and the Jonathan Edwards Library created the OER Awards Program. For more information, reach out to Matt Martin and Andrea Robare, Reference Librarian.

黄瓜视频's Learning Communities' mission is to recruit and engage students with a collaborative team of faculty, staff, and administrators related to their academic & career interests. The Learning Community structure creates a safe and participatory environment where students can celebrate a common purpose with equity, civility, and integrity across both Academic and Student Affairs. Our Learning communities invoke a sense of inclusivity and pride as a 黄瓜视频 Falcon! Learning Communities tie two courses together in a structured cross disciplinary collaboration to address the annual theme. For more information, reach out to Meghan Callaghan.

黄瓜视频 Community College is committed to ongoing professional development. This application is for members within Academic Affairs who wish to request funding to support professional development activities. Funding requests can range from attending a conference, to attending a workshop or class, to immersive field experiences. The professional development activity needs to have application within your current work and must be discussed with your Academic Dean.

To start, please discuss your idea with your Academic Dean. If you have not done this, you will be routed out of the application. Once you have talked with them, come back to the application and respond to the application questions. The questions seek to make sure you have thought through and have the key details of the activity, as well as ask how you hope to apply and share the experience with your 黄瓜视频 colleagues. If your application is approved, you will be asked to share your experience with the campus community. 

Once you submit your application, you will receive a confirmation, and your Academic Dean will receive a copy. The Dean for Teaching and Learning will then follow up with next steps once the application has been approved. Our goal is to fund as many applications as we can, and at this time there is not a funding limit on an application. But we do ask that each member within Academic Affairs only applies once for funding per fiscal year.

Questions? Please reach out to the Dean for Teaching and Learning at tli@berkshirecc.edu.
