Here’s the agenda – we’ve sent Zoom info via email to those who a…[Read more]

We’ve done this for the last couple of year…[Read more]

So sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this one! We had a little discussion about it with members of the OpenLab’s Community team. This is definitely an interesting question and approach!

The consensus within the group over here was that they have indeed evolved their course sites over time, though not perhaps to the extent y…[Read more]

We really like Ed’s approach of using a standalone site with a knowledge base theme…[Read more]

It would be awesome to have something like that at City Tech too! On our OpenLab we have a couple of things that go in that direction, but nothing as robust as you describe. We know, though, that some faculty definitely use the OpenLab as a resource when advising students, since they can show s…[Read more]

Boone may have further words of wisdom around releases, but just to say that, if it would be helpful, we would be glad to meet with you and Amanda to hear more about what you’re doing, and share our experiences with the OpenLabs at City Tech (original OpenLab) and BMCC (https://openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu/; uses CBOX…[Read more]
