Academic Technology Training

Since we administer the technical aspects of the online college, we train on all aspects of Blackboard, the courseware management system most instructors use to teach online.

We also provide training for faculty and staff on Microsoft, Adobe, Multimedia and Web Development products.

Academic Technology focuses on faculty training, but both faculty and staff can sign-up for the classes, including all classes listed in the AT training schedule, at the Professional Development web site.

Note: If you do not sign-up for one of our classes with the PD office, please contact Academic Technology to let us know which classes you will be attending. If you do not, we cannot contact you if a class is cancelled, rescheduled, or relocated.

New Classrooms & Labs. Unless otherwise noted in the AT Training schedule, our workshops are offered on the ground floor of the San Marcos campus library, in rooms LL-104, LL-109 or LL-111. Thanks to the Foundation and the President's Associates, these areas have been re-equipped, remodeled, and stocked with new computers.
