Our workshops are designed for faculty who want to learn technology tools in the context of how they can be used in college classrooms, using examples of how they have been used by Hunter colleagues. We update them each semester as technology tools and instructors’ needs change. Workshops are listed below by date offered. You can also view them grouped on our Workshop Categories page.
Please use the registration links to let us know that you will be joining us. We change registration links to links to resources or recordings after the date of the workshops.

Same Course, Different Platforms: Blackboard vs Brightspace
Join us for an informational session on Hunter’s learning management system transition from Blackboard to Brightspace. We will discuss the timeline, the learning and support resources available and the steps that professors can take to get ready to teach on Brightspace in 2025. We will showcase exemplary courses built in Blackboard and redesigned in Brightspace. Compare the look and feel of the two courses and learn about features and tools that will be available in the new platform.

Sneak Peek at Brightspace Courses
Get inspiration for designing your Winter/Spring 2025 courses! Come see courses from a variety of disciplines in Brightspace using familiar tools such as assignments, quizzes, discussions, VoiceThread, and Hypothesis in the new platform. Visit course sites that also make use of new Brightspace tools such as checklists, release conditions and intelligent agents. We think you’ll like the visual table of contents, “class progress” and the integration with Zoom!

Working with Migrated Courses
Brightspace and Blackboard both do fundamentally the same thing, but there are some important differences to keep in mind when working with your former Blackboard course sites in Brightspace. In this workshop, we will show you what elements of your Blackboard course site will be copied to Brightspace and where they will appear, explain the differences in course layout and design between the two platforms, and highlight the new tools in Brightspace that will replace some of the most commonly used tools in Blackboard, including Tests and Assignments.
