In the Spotlight: Winter Greetings from the Openab

Holiday greetings from the OpenLab and congratulations to all on the closing of another semester! 

While our weekly “Spotlight” blog series will go on hiatus for the season, we wanted to remind you of the sites we featured this past semester and encourage you to check them out if you haven’t already done so.

Fall 2019 Spotlight Posts

• Technical Writing (ENG 2575-E270)
• Introduction to Accessibility
• Mat1275 Algebra and Trigonometry Template
• City Tech Guide
• Nursing Case Management- Role and Processes (NUR4030)
• NYC Men Teach
• Introduction to Paralegal Studies (LAW 1101)
• NYCCT Prism Alliance
• Building Technology 2 (ARCH 2331)

We also continued a retrospective series, looking back at the OpenLab’s evolution over the past (quasi) decade. This time we focused on the OpenLab’s work to improve accessibility, spotlighting:

• The OpenLab at CUNY IT: Access, A Bridge Too Far?

…and improved our practices and incorporated some new functionalities and features:

• Add to My Portfolio
• Privacy in Open Learning

In addition to reviewing these posts from this past fall, you can find a full curated list of all sites that have been spotlighted in our  Spotlight Archive. This archive offers visitors 3 curated lists to help them sort through the posts:

1. For everyone (By type of site – course, project, club, portfolio)
2. For faculty/staff
3. For students

As always, we also encourage you to check out our in-house sites:

• Open Pedagogy on the OpenLab
• The Open Road

The OpenLab Community Team will continue to offer email support over winter break– please contact us with questions or concerns.

We will also soon announce our winter programming. We will be in touch as we get more events and workshops on our calendar!

Wishing you all a very happy holiday season!

The OpenLab Community Team
