Faculty Support
Zoom Support Hours
We offer support in Brightspace, Zoom, Instructional Design, and Accessibility. Faculty are welcome to chat with our team, share their screen, and receive personal guidance tailored to their needs. Updated schedules will be sent to faculty on a weekly basis through our Virtual Campus (VC) Faculty Center announcements in Brightspace. Please be sure to enable your Brightspace notifications and check your "Other" folder in Outlook.
Please use the Zoom link below during scheduled support hours. If you need assistance outside of drop-in times, feel free to contact the Virtual Campus to arrange an appointment.
