Summer Training Series recordings have been posted! Click here to view
As we prepare for a Fall 2021 semester featuring a return to campus and in-person instruction, a new learning management system, NYU LMS (Brightspace) that is replacing NYU Classes, will be fully adopted across the University and Law School. As noted in previous communications and information sessions, the Learning Innovation and Design (LID) group will host a series of training workshops to prepare faculty and faculty assistants in this new platform. In parallel, the University will be sending out announcements and details for the Fall term along with links for self-paced training, guides, and live information sessions.
While we encourage you to enroll in the University provided online instructor training courses and familiarize yourself with NYU LMS documentation, the Law School’s internal workshops will focus on our unique program requirements, content, and instructional style in the context of this new platform. Our initial sessions will cover the migration of older NYU Classes course sites, content, and activation of Fall 2021 sites. It is highly recommended you attend these before preparing for the new semester. If you are unable to join, as in previous terms, all sessions will be recorded and posted to this support website.
Additionally, individual consultations will be provided later in the summer for those faculty teaching a hybrid course (students both in-person and remote). More details to be provided soon!
We invite you to save the dates for these series of trainings on teaching and learning in NYU LMS. Note, the Zoom link is the same for every session for your convenience.
