CUNY Academic Commons Annual Report 2016-2017
It’s been a busy year on the Commons and our annual report highlights site stats and accomplishments.
Professional Staff Congress (PSC)
As we wrap up the semester, the PSC site on the Commons shares end-of-year reflections.
Welcome to Commons 1.11
Our spring release features a long needed re-org of Commons Help Resources, simpler display of group email notifications, and forum "quoting" for discussion clarification.
“CUNYfying Uses of Technology”
George Otte highlighted projects that foster innovation, incubation, dissemination and collaboration at this year's CUNY IT Conference. Check out a prezi of his address and his presentation notes.
Visions of Greatness at BCC
With images, letters, and articles to document the history of the Hall of Fame of Great Americans, BCC's Visions site rethinks racial disparity and ideas of greatness, and creates a Virtual Hall of Fame where students can nominate their own heroes.
Commons Survey 2016
The results are in! Over 450 members of the Commons participated in our site survey last semester. We hope you check out our summary and analysis of what they said.
Changing Your Commons Email Address
When you first register on the Commons, we require a CUNY email address. But as soon as you successfully login, you can change your email to your favorite address, and use it to receive notifications and (if ever needed) to reset your password.
Check Out Social Paper’s Hub
Social Paper is a new, networked writing environment for Commons members to share academic works-in-progress. Find out how to use the Hub to browse for articles of interest and comment on them as a whole, or on particular paragraphs.
Ways To Use the Commons’ Events Calendar
Publicize events, lectures, and conferences across multiple groups on the Commons. Set deadlines and schedule presentations for graduate courses. Export Commons events to your third party calendars. Find out more!
