This commitment has focused on creating a digital, mobile and universally accessible curriculum and includes programs to support faculty in the use of video based technologies with the goal of facilitating in-class learning activities. An overarching principle of these initiatives is to enable faculty to develop curricular resources independently and to receive support in instituting classroom pedagogies that take advantage of online video resources.
