Online Instructional Support

Students expect the use of technology (e.g. Power Point, 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.
