This for instructors who have never used Blackboard before and have little or no computer experience but want to take advantage of using the online system to post class materials.

At the end of the hour long workshop, some of the basic tasks instructors will be able to do are:

- Posting content to Blackboard
- Creating a discussion board forum
- Making  their course available and accessible

We hope to offer this workshop monthly, and perhaps even have a more advanced course available to showcase some of the other features in Blackboard that would be useful to instructors.  If you are interested in attending please visit the Fordham Training website to sign up.

The next dates this workshop will be offered are 12/9 at Rose Hill & 12/10 at Lincoln Center, but space is limited so register soon!

If you have registered for technology traing this Fall and need your course materials, or if you have taken a course in the past and want to brush up, or even if you are just thinking about taking a course and want to see what will be covered, visit the Wiki and click the link for training coursepacks.

Mr. Sweeney is University Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology and spoke about the challenges of teaching incoming tech-savvy “millennial” students. The first part of the Keynote, Mr. Sweeney’s actual address, can be viewed in Episode 2.

In this episode, Mr. Sweeney interviews a panel of Fordham’s own millennials about their experiences with technology in the classroom and out, at Fordham and elsewhere, and about their general consumer habits, life outlook, and learning styles.
