Faculty who have participated in professional
programs at LaGuardia’s Center for Teaching and Learning have drawn
from their growing knowledge and experiences to create a wealth
of online resources. Some sites are designed as resources for specific
courses, others help make information more readily available to
the College community. Still others provide a space for dialogue,
enabling colleagues to deepen and expand their communication about
issues related to education beyond the structure of institutes and
seminars. Many of the faculty sites are useful not only for the
LaGuardia community, but as resources for students, educators and
others in the world beyond the College. LaGuardia faculty often
cite the one-on-one technical assistance they receive from the Center’s instructional design team, including the STMs (Student Technology Mentors),
IDAs (Instructional Design Assistants), and instructional designers credited
below, as a key ingredient in being able to develop and produce
online resources.

Slyck's commitment to pedagogy that reflects an awareness
of cultural diversity as well as her interest in postcolonial
literature (African, Caribbean, Latin American literature),
literature of the Southwest, Hispanic-American literature;
and postmodern and psychoanalytic approaches to literature,
in particular, explorations of "identity" as a social
and psychological construct. |
|
ESL
Listening and Reading (http://faculty.lagcc.cuny.edu/mcourtney)
Both of the course websites available through this link provide

This site was designed to motivate student writing as well as to serve as an instructional tool. |
|
Developed by Carolyn Sterling-Deer, the Intercultural Women's Discussion Group (http://faculty.lagcc.cuny.edu/carolynsd/index.htm) website was created to foster online communication among female second language learners.

Information about economics, technology, career guidance and personality assessment, workplace conditions and cultural diversity is posted. Grateful thanks are extended to IDA Delwar Sayeed for his generosity and graciousness in making use of his computer expertise and artistic sensibility to envision and construct the design of this site.
|
|
Sparked by work done at other institutions, Phyllis
van Slyck and Paula Nesoff led a group of eleven LaGuardia faculty
interested in exploring the concept of teaching portfolios.
Teaching portfolios may include course portfolio materials,
but they also offer a larger, more holistic picture of a faculty
member’s practice, including professional development
projects and activities that have an impact on teaching and
values that shape an individual faculty member’s curricular
and pedagogical choices. To get a clearer idea what this trend
is all about, check the Teaching
Portfolio site (http://www.lagcc.cuny.edu/tps). Phyllis
van Slyck, Abby Schoneboom and IDA Delwar Sayeed designed and developed the site.
|
|
Less than a week after completing the Digital Storytelling Workshop offered by the LaGuardia Center for Teaching and Learning, Nya Naikyemi S. Odedefaa Manyansa (http://iyatala.blogspot.com) developed this site as a way of chronicling her travels throughout Egypt with primary researcher, Prof. Manu Ampim. Already this site is being used by several families who are homeschooling their children. Ms. Odedefaa Manyansa also plans to use this site for the African American Experience course she teaches at John Jay College of Criminal Justice.

In 2000, LaGuardia added the “common
reading” to the First Year Experience program. The goals
of having a common reading, a practice used by many colleges and
universities, are to establish a greater sense of community among
students and to provide an introduction to intellectual life at
the college. To help students through the reading, and to provide
a faculty forum for sharing ideas and activities, LaGuardia faculty
developed websites including instructional materials, suggestions
for activities, reading guides, etc. The Common Reading website
content is designed by a different faculty member each year. Faculty
site creators include: Jane Selden & Mary Fjeldstad (Having
Our Say), J. Elizabeth Clark & Arthur Lau (When I Was
Puerto Rican), Jane Holzka (West of Kabul, East of New
York), Will Koolsbergen (The Laramie Project), Evelyn Burg and Paati Juza (Maus), George McCormack (Nickle and Dimed), and Ximena Gallardo (An Inconvenient Truth).
The faculty collaborated closely with Center staff on the content
and technical aspects of each site. The common reading site for An Inconvenient Truth was designed by Priscilla Stadler with assistance from Ali Abdallah. Mr. Abdallah developed
The Laramie Project, West of Kabul East of New York
and Having Our Say sites. The When I Was Puerto Rican site was developed
by Abby Schoneboom.

in colleges across the country. What distinguishes the ePortfolio
at LaGuardia is the presentation of student diversity through
text, images and other creative work. |
