City Colleges Academic Affairs is proud to offer Instructional Fundamentals: Instructional Technology, a self-paced asynchronous short course intended to support faculty instructional development in line with Pillar 5 of the Academic Excellence Framework (ccc.edu/aef). Instructional Fundamentals: Instructional Technology reviews some basic tools that are helpful in implementing excellent pedagogy in your own classes.

Objectives:

  2. Compare the features of various instructional tools within Brightspace and analyze their effectiveness in different learning scenarios.
  3. Assess the suitability of specific instructional tools in Brightspace for different types of learning activities and outcomes

Examples of reflections & artifacts you’ll work on:

  • Practice opportunities for Brightspace tools, VoiceThread, and Hypothesis

The short course is self paced and will be available throughout the Fall 2025 semester. Participants should plan to dedicate 4-6 hours total to take part in the short course.
