Hello Hunter SOE Faculty!
We have said goodbye to Blackboard as our Learning Management System, and will be teaching courses beginning this (Spring 2025) semester on either Brightspace or Google Classroom, both of which bring fresh tools and a more flexible experience for you and your students.
To help you transition smoothly, CUNY Central and the Hunter College Center for Online Learning are offering workshops and training sessions packed with tips and best practices. Meanwhile, our team at the Frankfort Center for Learning & Scholarly Technologies is here to provide customized support—whether you need one-on-one training, instructional design guidance, or just a few resources to get started.
