The IRT Center for Teaching with Technology offers support for faculty for the Fall 2020 semester.

Recorded CTT Webinars

Blackboard Workshop The CTT has recorded a webinar so that faculty can watch it and learn about synchronous and asynchronous teaching with Blackboard. Faculty can watch the entire video, or watch the segment that interests them.

One-on-one Consultations

While we hope that most of you were able to attend one of the workshops, CTT staff is also available for one-on-one consultations about Online, Hybrid, and HyFlex instruction. To make an appointment, please make a Help Desk ticket at wpunj.edu/helpdesk. Choose the Blackboard ticket type and then CTT Faculty Consultation. This is the best way to set up a time to work with one of the CTT instructional designers.

  • Quality Assurance/Quality Matters
