Welcome to our faculty resource page. We often assign research projects but don’t always have the time to devote to these skills in class. This tutorial is designed to help both faculty and students through the process, from developing a research question, to finding articles, to using articles in a research project. We encourage you to assign sections of this tutorial throughout the semester. The tutorial includes several worksheets that you may collect or use as a basis of discussion in class. You will also find activities designed for faculty to plan a scaffolded research project, help students develop topics, and teach key information literacy skills. Contains: Annotated Bibliography Activity, How to Use a Source: The BEAM Method, Helping Students Build Better Research Questions, The Stases as Research Method, Scaffold Research Calendar (guide students' the research process), Zotero access, Librarian Tips on Good Research Assignments.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Data Visualization Applications are driving forces behind the recent explosion in the "Digital Humanities." They enable scholars and students alike to ask new kinds of questions, and to illustrate the answers in powerful ways. This site intends to provide an overview of popular GIS and DVA platforms, both proprietary and open access. It summarizes the degree of difficulty involved in using these platforms, discusses support available for users at Brooklyn College, and gives links to training and tutorials freely available on the web.

Welcome to the Heritage Language Program at Brooklyn College!
The Department of Modern Languages and Literatures offers Heritage Language Programs in Arabic, Chinese, Haitian Creole, and Spanish. Our Heritage Language Programs consist of two-semester sequences of courses that prepare students to take content courses in the language. The Heritage Language Programs include beginning and intermediate courses for bilingual learners who have had little or no formal education in the language, but have a connection to the language through community and family ties. Our programs will expand the oral and written communication skills of heritage language learners through a project-based approach to learning.

These courses use the language students have grown-up listening to at home as the foundation for developing their proficiency in reading, writing, and speaking the home language. We know that the proficiency levels and experiences with the home language vary greatly among heritage speakers. In our Heritage Language Programs, heritage speakers of all levels (beginning, intermediate or advanced) can take courses that have been created specifically to respond to their unique needs and build upon the skill set of the heritage learner at different stages of development.

Heritage learners can both meet the Brooklyn College language requirement and continue to expand their knowledge of Arabic, Chinese, Haitian Creole, Russian and Spanish and further develop their communicative skills.

AbstractWhat role did COVID-19 play in the students’ benefits and challenges of open educational resources (OER)? Motivated by decades of research in helping students to access and use course materials to improve their learning by offering substitutes to the highly priced and exponentially increasing costs of commercially printed textbooks, this paper takes another dive to understand students’ challenges and benefits of OERs during the pandemic. Based on an anonymous survey distributed to students enrolled in CUNY Kingsborough Community College (N=1,175 participants) during Fall 2020, the two top benefits reported were cost savings and access. Some challenges that are identified in open and closed ended questions are organization of the material to fit the course design of the faculty. It is important to note that students had difficulty with accessing also the OER material, unlike prior surveys, but they continue recommending OER material at similar rates as prior to the pandemic.

A project of Macaulay Honors College and CUNY Advance, "Science Forward is a new type of undergraduate science seminar, helping students to see science as a lens on the world, a way of approaching questions and challenges. The course focuses on the critical thinking skills in use across the scientific disciplines, which we have summarized as the “science senses.” Starting with critical issues in the contemporary world, from climate change to the social and economic implications of artificial intelligence, the course encourages active learning and inquiry-based instruction."
