Academic Technology Research and Development Group

Welcome to the home of the CUNY Committee on Academic Technology Research and Development Group (CAT-R&D).

The mission of CAT-R&D is to research, test, and recommend new technologies from the perspective of classroom faculty needs and pedagogical effectiveness.

CAT-R&D exists to advance the field of academic technology by consulting with colleagues and groups developing new technologies, conducting classroom trials, and sponsoring programs. The goal is to provide independent evaluations using transparent criteria that are openly reported on the CUNY Academic Commons, at the annual CUNY IT conference, and to other bodies.

CAT-R&D fosters academic excellence by working with researchers, educators, and developers to create an academically enriching environment for students and faculty.
The CAT-R&D is to be known as the “skunkworks” and the reason for this can be found here

Blackboard and CUNYfirst exportation of grades

  • Hello all and happy holidays. As I am preparing to submit grades to CUNYfirst, every semester I run into trouble with the batch upload process that exports grades from Blackboard to CUNYfirst grade rosters. For those not familiar with the process, Hunter has documentation describing it (which doesn’t always work).

    My former University also used PeopleSoft (which looks to be what CUNYfirst is) and they had an option to automatically export grades from our LMS to it. The LMS, however, was not Blackboard.

    In any case, I was wondering if there was any plans to integrate a similar feature into CUNY’s Blackboard (given that we will still be using it in the near future). Thanks!
