Off-campus Teaching and Learning Resources:
Faculty should watch for announcements about workshop opportunities sponsored by the National Institute for Technology and Liberal Education (NITLE), a Mellon-funded organization promoting instructional technology through cooperation among IT staff, librarians, and faculty.
We also partner with New Horizons in Latham and the ACC Center for Business and Professional Development at the Queensbury or Wilton Campus. Vouchers are available to faculty and staff who are interested in software training not provided by Skidmore. Please visit New Horizons or the ACC Center to view their available courses.
