Workshops & Webinars

The Department of Online Education and Support offers webinars for faculty on various topics related to achieving excellence in the online classroom. These fully online webinars are facilitated by DOES staff and most feature insights from a faculty co-host with expertise on the topic. Each webinar consists of the pedagogical “Why" as well as the practical “How”. At the end of each webinar, time is allotted for attendees to comment, share their views, and ask questions of all webinar presenters. These webinars are conveniently delivered online and are easily accessed from a desktop, phone, or tablet.


The DOES Learning Management Team hosts weekly webinar topics on Wednesdays at 2:00 p.m. Each session is a review of a specific functionality you need to build your Brightspace course. Check your email for announcements and links to the weekly topics.

If you are interested but unable to attend a webinar, a recording of the webinar may be requested by emailing lms.faculty@jjay.cuny.edu

In addition to the Effective Practices in Online Teaching (EPOT) workshops offered over the summer of 2020, this Digital Humanities webinar series has been created to introduce educational tools to engage online students. The following topics are included in this series:
