The Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching offers a wide variety of workshops, trainings, and consultations for faculty and staff who teach courses online, in a hybrid format (a combined face-to-face and online course), or wish to enhance their face-to-face class with online tools, multi-media, and other forms of instructional technology.
Instructors who teach an online or hybrid course at The College at Brockport for the first time participate in a “Nuts and Bolts of Online Teaching” workshop and at least three individual training sessions with the CELT Instructional Design Specialist. It is expected that instructors attend the workshop and the trainings during the semester prior to teaching the online or hybrid course for the first time.
All other consultations or training requests for online, multi-media, or instructional technology are available upon request. To make a request, contact the CELT Instructional Design Specialist via email or phone.

All online courses at The College at Brockport are managed through the Office of Special Sessions and Programs and are offered through the SUNY Learning Network. For more information please see the SLN Website.
Online courses provide students and faculty in an innovative way to learn or teach asynchronously (i.e., from anywhere at anytime) and our SLN courses are taught via ANGEL Learning Management System (LMS), which is used college-wide.
Hybrid courses are courses in which there is a significant blend of online instruction and face-to-face student instruction/interaction with faculty.This definition provides wide flexability in the amount of online and face-to-face instructional time to be provided in the hybrid course.
To assist faculty in designing a Hybrid/Blended course, training was developed by the Univeristy of Central Florida, American Association of State Colleges and Universities, and the Next Generation Learning Challenges. For access to the course materials, please visit this website Blendkit Course 2011.
Please use this link Hybrid/Online Course Approval Form to download a copy of the approval form. Also, for hybrid courses, please be sure to indicate all specific day/time schedules that students are expected to be available for face-to-face and/or synchronous on-line instructional sessions. This information is necessary to fill out the course notes on BANNER. Please use the Hybrid Course Notes Template to submit your specific schedule.
