Online Instructional Support

Teaching with Educational Technology
Students expect the use of technology (e.g. PowerPoint, Blackboard, streaming video) to be part of their learning experience. And, many community colleges are hiring full-time faculty members with strong skills in instructional technology. To remain current in today's educational environment, faculty should have expertise in the use of instructional technology.
