We thought you’d enjoy “meeting” us and hearing about some of the items we have in store for you. Here are just a few highlights:

• Implement TurnItIn (Plagiarism prevention software)
• Implement identity verification
• Support the e-portfolio rollout
• Improve instructor support (training) at the College
• Enable virtual office hours for instructors and the Student Support Team
• Maintain currency of our Blackboard system by completing two upgrades (December and June)
• Support the rollout of additional Blackboard systems (such as Community and Collaborate)
• Explore ways to support the use of Zoom for teaching and learning

We hope you’re just as excited about the future as we are!
