Structuring Commons Courses For Distance Learning
InCommon interviews professors Gwendolyn Shaw, Juliana de Castro Galvao, and Thomas Miller to discover how they use the Commons for distance learning.
Welcome to Commons 1.17!
We are excited to announce this release's two marquee features: a new, robust library for group resources and functionality for admins to "clone" their own sites.
“Twilight Talks” From CUNY TV
Produced by Wilson Reyes, the videos and podcasts on Twilight Talks cover social issues, art, mass culture, and politics.
Course Design & Development Tutorial
Developed by the CUNY School of Professional Studies, this tutorial's ten modules are a great resource for online course design and development.
CETL Online Course Design
Now on the Commons, this resource from the CCNY Center for Teaching and Learning helps instructors prepare courses for online teaching.
CUNY Distance Learning Archive
We invite members of the CUNY community to chronicle their experiences with distance learning during the COVID-19 crisis. Send contributions via our online form or email us at cunyarchive@gmail.com
Group Email Notifications Improvements
We made a small, but important change that makes it easier to see the subject of Commons group notifications in your inbox, especially on mobile devices.
Instructional Resources For Challenging Times
InCommon provides a list of tools and platforms available at CUNY to transition from face-to-face to distance learning and strategies to implement them.
Continuity In The Times Of Coronavirus
Considerations for Instructional Continuity provides a guide for CUNY instructors during this crisis. Courses On The Commons provides help for those wishing to use the Commons to make a quick transition from face-to-face to online instruction.
Courses On The Commons
Designed for both students and teachers, Courses On The Commons is a new section in Commons Help devoted to teaching and learning.
Getting Started
The CUNY Academic Commons is an academic social network created by and for CUNY. Learn more.
