The Quality Assurance Certificate, the Accessibility Workshop Series and other offerings from the IRT Center for Teaching with Technology


IRT's Center for Teaching with Technology is happy to announce the following upcoming offerings: the Quality Assurance Certificate, the Accessibility Certificate, and the Blackboard Ultra Institute.

The Quality Assurance Certificate Workshop

Please join IRT's Center for Teaching with Technology for a Quality Assurance Certificate workshop on Monday, August 21 and Tuesday, August 22, meeting from 10am to 2:30pm on each of those days. In this remote workshop, held via Zoom, faculty will learn strategies and gain tools to redesign existing online courses to meet Quality Matters standards. Attending all four sessions is the first step toward earning the QA Certificate. To register, please visit https://wpunj.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_09zjKUtL33LLVJk 

Accessibility Workshop Series 

Learn more about making your course shells accessible by joining the CTT for our Accessibility Workshop. This workshop series is comprised of two sessions, and each session will be offered twice. So you can feel free to mix and match between the two days, Tuesday, August 16 and Thursday, August 18:

Session 1 – Either Tuesday, Aug 15 OR Thursday, Aug 17, 2023 from 11:00am - 12:00 PM
https://wpunj.zoom.us/j/94773314345?pwd=M1hCUjl1Sy8zYkloY2VTWnVGQTRydz09  

Session 2 – Either Tuesday, Aug 15 OR Thursday, Aug 17, 2023 from 1:00 - 2:00 PM

Blackboard Ultra Institute

And finally, we are happy to announce some additional opportunities to learn more about the changes coming in the next version of Blackboard: Blackboard Ultra. Starting in the Fall 2023 semester, all course shells will look and work a little differently from what we've gotten used to over the years, with the older "Original Experience" being replaced by the new "Ultra Experience" that will be used going forward.

To help ease the transition, we are offering a 90-minute overview of Blackboard Ultra, via Zoom, twice a day on most days (from 10:00am to 11:30am and from 1:00pm to 2:30pm). And to accommodate those who might not be available during the day, we're also offering four additional evening sessions to the schedule. For a schedule of these offerings, please visit https://www.wpunj.edu/irt/ctt/webinars
