Support for Online, Hybrid and Hyflex Teaching
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.
