Innovative Technologies
Take a look at how some of the newer technologies are being used to enhance courses. Some of the past educational activities developed by faculty using innovative technologies to deliver course content are listed here to serve as a catalyst for integrating newer technologies in curriculum. A few of these activities require the use of specialized hardware and/or software. As faculty begins to explore potential for using technologies both inside and outside of the classroom, our Instructional Designer can help to realize these possibilities. To get started faculty may download the Project Application Form and send it to cit@bergen.edu.
To bring innovative technologies to the college community, the Center for Instructional Technology sponsors pilot projects every semester. If you would like to be the first to try out the newer technologies submit application forms by the due date.
