Workshops and Training SessionsEach semester the CTL provides a wide array of sessions geared towards the needs of faculty and staff. Our sessions range from the latest pedagogical trainings to technology trainings. Our goal is to provide the most sought-after professional development information needed in higher education. Our yearly schedule of events is based on the information provided to the CTL through regular surveys of faculty and staff and our sessions are open to ALL faculty and staff at the college. The CTL provides a session certificate to all attendees of our trainings. Please see our upcoming sessions on the Calendar of Events button located to the left of the home page screen. |

Multimedia ServicesThe CTL offers many content creation services including Green Screen video, audio recording and animated graphics. Add rich multimedia content to your courses to supplement student learning in and out of the classroom. Providing video/audio content in an online course is also a great way to increase interactivity with students. Content can be distributed via the Ensemble streaming server so students always have access to material. If you’re interested in learning more about how you can incorporate multimedia into your courses, please fill out our Video Request Form button on the left side of the CTL page. |

Faculty Sharing SessionsTowards the end of each semester the CTL offers a “Faculty Sharing Session” where all faculty are invited to demonstrate or discuss a successful teaching and learning practice they have utilized in their face-to-face, hybrid or online course. This is a wonderful opportunity to hear about tried and tested teaching techniques that may be worth considering for your courses. It’s an opportunity to share and demonstrate what you do best, or to come and hear about what has worked for your colleagues. Look for upcoming sessions on our Event Calendar. |

Faculty and Staff Spotlight SeriesIt is true that we are our own best resources and the “Faculty & Staff Spotlight Series” has been a wonderful success since the inception of the CTL. Each semester, many SUNY Orange faculty and staff host their own events and demonstrate a particular topic or technique with which they have found increased student success and student engagement. We invite you to attend these sessions in support of your colleagues and the student-centered learning environment. Look for these sessions on our Event Calendar. |
