A demonstration of the new CI Learn module, Community Engagement, is planned for Monday, Dec. 5 at 1:30 p.m. in Broome Library, Room 2680. The demo is open to all students, faculty and staff.
Addition of the module is slated for the spring semester. This new module goes well beyond teaching and learning, delivering a more customized user experience on every level. With the Community Engagement module, you can:
- Build vibrant online communities, provide collaborative spaces and deliver targeted information.
- Promote easier online collaboration and communication for campus groups, clubs, committees, faculty, students and staff.
- Be more efficient in delivering University-wide news with targeted information based on the users’ role—student, teacher, administrator, first year, business major, etc.
- Use the notifications dashboard which is a roll-up of all the courses and organizations users are involved in, allowing them to quickly see all their updates and key information in one location.
