Office of Instructional Technology

Instructional Technology

Enhance the teaching and learning experience via an array of tools that allow faculty and students to collaborate, create, and communicate.  Discover strategies in course design, discuss student assessment options, and explore how to engage students through multimedia, and discussions. 

The Office of Instructional Technology promotes the effective and purposeful use of instructional technology via faculty education, support, and advisement.  It ensures the pedagogical quality of our in-person and online courses by increasing awareness of and appreciation for strong instructional design resulting in student satisfaction and success, emphasizing accessibility and inclusivity.  If you have questions or need help with Manhattanville’s teaching technology solutions, the Office of Instructional Technology is ready to assist.  

Manhattanville is transitioning from Blackboard to Brightspace!

This move presents an opportunity to provide both faculty and students increased flexibility and access in teaching and learning.  We realize there are questions about the transition, training, and support, and have developed this page as a central location for information.
