Recorded CTT Webinars

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.
