Hub for Digital Teaching
The Hub for Digital Teaching provides support for faculty from each of the university’s schools, as well as support for TAs/CAs and others in the Brandeis teaching community. We partner with faculty and:
- provide learning design support for online, hybrid, and in-person teaching, following evidence-based best practices for inclusive and equitable teaching.
- provide workshops and training on instructional technologies.
- advise on best practices for incorporating a software and academic technologies (such as VoiceThread, H5P, Voyant, Twine, and Perusall) into teaching.
- consult on pedagogical approaches for using learning management system (LATTE) functions and the LATTE Shell.
Learn more about how Learning Designers, Instructional Technologists, and the Library’s Digital Literacy Specialist can work with you.
