Start of Term Notice: Take charge of your tech this spring
January 14, 2026
Beef up your Brightspace
Before classes start January 26, update your Brightspace course(s) with your syllabus, course materials and assignments. Use due dates so students can connect to their Google calendar. Don't forget to make your courses active when you're done.
Take a look at your classroom tech
DoIT offers refreshers if you want to be super sure you know how to run the tech in your classroom(s).
Teaching in Javits or Frey? Explore Echo360
Every classroom in Javits Lecture Center and Frey Hall is equipped wtih Echo360, a system that records high-quality video and audio so your students can review your lectures to help them study and succeed in your class. If you choose to use Echo360, you can set it up to record every course session automatically, or turn it on and off for particular sessions.
Students tell us they appreciate when instructors use this system as a tool to help them enhance performance in classes: to correct and expand their notes, review difficult concepts, and study for quizzes and exams.
