Our story ~

The NIC eLearning team dreamed of having a place to work with you, our faculty. A casual, comfortable place where we could provide pedagogical, functional, and best practice training for all instructional delivery methods: Face-to-face, Hybrid , Interactive Video, Internet, and Live Online. A place where together we could explore new ideas, test new tools, and advance quality instruction. We will be holding regular training and discussion sessions at the café, and we always welcome walk-ins. If you can't make it right when a session starts, that's OK, come on in as your schedule allows.

 

À la carte ~

Drop in as your schedule allows or make an appointment and we will gladly assist you with or introduce you to the many instructional tools available:

Blackboard Learn, Blackboard Collaborate (web conferencing), Blackboard Instant Messenger (Bb IM), Camtasia Relay, Camtasia Studio, Respondus, Snagit, and Turnitin
