Virtual Campus Fall 2026 Welcome!

Welcome to the Fall 2026 semester on behalf of the Virtual Campus team!

Contact Information: Our physical office is located on the Brighton Campus in Building 3, Room 150. Faculty can also utilize computers in our Faculty Innovation Center (FIC) in Building 3, Room 122A during college business hours. Reach us via email at Virtual Campus (virtualcampus@monroecc.edu) or call us at (585) 292-3440. New to the college? Stop by and say hello!

Support Services: For assistance with instructional design, Brightspace, or other instructional technologies, bookmark our Information for Faculty page on our website. We offer support primarily through Zoom, but also in-person meetings, and one-on-one appointments. Regular reminders and important information are sent through weekly Brightspace announcements. We will also share SUNY webinars and events of interest to the college community. Our typical Zoom support hours are:

  • Monday: 10 am to 12 pm
  • Tuesday: 10 am to 12 pm and 1 pm to 3 pm
  • Wednesday: 10 am to 12 pm and 1 pm to 3 pm
  • Thursday: By Appointment (schedule through email or Bookings)
  • Friday: 10 am to 12 pm

For support outside these hours, please email us, and we will connect you with a team member.

Resources: Our Virtual Campus Faculty Center in Brightspace offers a variety of resources, including Brightspace documents, AI resources, and tools like Simple Syllabus, Zoom, the Yuja video server, Turnitin, Respondus, and more. Faculty are enrolled in this space automatically, and will receive weekly announcements via their primary Brightspace email with support hours and other important reminders. Staff members can be added upon request.

Brightspace Training: We have re-launched our customized MCC Brightspace Training modules! Faculty can access this asynchronous self-paced training within the Professional Development tab of Brightspace. This resource is designed to help faculty onboard and refresh their skills. It includes support for Brightspace and Accessibility Essentials and Extending Your Online Presence. Find more information about Brightspace Training. Faculty are enrolled automatically, and any staff member can be added upon request.

Accessibility Resource: As a reminder, the Access: A Quest Toward Inclusion course is available in Brightspace. All faculty and staff are enrolled in this training and serves as a valuable starting point for learning accessibility essentials. 

SUNY Online Help Desk: The SUNY Online Help Desk is a great resource for both faculty, staff, and students with Brightspace support, especially outside of college business hours. They are open late nights, and even on weekends! You can submit a support ticket online or call 1-844-673-6786. 

Upcoming This Fall: Looking ahead, we will be offering a new book group this semester (The Joyful Online Teacher: Finding Our Fizz in Asynchronous Classes by Flower Darby). We will also be planning several faculty showcase sessions on various topics, and we will continue to offer Simple Syllabus training sessions. 

Have a great semester!
