Instructional Technology helps faculty solve pedagogical problems or create new learning opportunities through efficient, effective use and support of technology. Professional development services are available to academic and administrative departments. Instructional technology staff are also available to work with department leads to create programs to address customized goals.
Topics typically include:
- Online teaching & learning and course design including Quality Matters
- Blackboard & related instructional technologies available at UMBC
Training formats include webinars and workshops lasting 45-90 minutes depending on topic. We also offer half day and full day boot camps. Finally, our hybrid or online short course model provides cohort-based opportunities for faculty to engage, discuss and explore dedicated topics in asynchronous and synchronous environments.
