The Center for Excellence in Teaching, Learning, and Leadership (CETLL) is pleased to welcome back faculty (and welcome new faculty!) to Queens College. Faculty are reminded that Brightspace has replaced Blackboard as the learning management system (LMS) at Queens College. All courses previously taught using Blackboard are now taught using Brightspace<https://brightspace.cuny.edu/>. Resources are available on the CETLL website<https://www.qc.cuny.edu/cetll/> under the Brightspace tab. CETLL has additional resources to help you prepare for the new semester, including how to check your course information, how to determine instruction mode, and strategies for addressing the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in coursework. To read more, go to Resources for New and Returning Faculty<https://www.qc.cuny.edu/cetll/start-of-the-semester-checklist/>. Remember, we're here to help. You're welcome to join us for our virtual drop-in hours via Zoom at https://bit.ly/QCxCETLL__Zoom. The schedule for the week of August 26 is Monday and Thursday, 2:30-4:30 pm and Tuesday, 1-3 pm. Starting September 2, the schedule will be Tuesdays, 1-3 pm and Wednesdays, 2:30-4:30 pm.
