The Teaching & Learning Technologies team supports the intentional integration of digital learning opportunities at Nazareth College through training and support for faculty and staff: 

  • on a rolling schedule each semester: Training calendar
  • by request for small groups and individuals
  • One-to-one 

The Teaching & Learning Technologies team also creates self-help technical materials and troubleshoots technical issues with any of the digital learning applications we support.

The Instructional Designer provides research and consultation services for course design, course conversion from traditional to hybrid or online delivery, or course refresh. The Essentials Workshop for Online & Hybrid Instruction provides faculty with current best practice in digital learning, technical guidance, and a one-time stipend award as they develop or convert courses into an online or hybrid format.
