Adjunct Training

Resources

There are many training resources you can utilize as needed and follow at your own pace.

For SUNY Empire adjuncts seeking a self-paced training option can self-enroll in a new course available through Brightspace's Discover tool. This training will take approximately 60 to 90 minutes to complete.

To enroll:

  • Login at https://brightspace.sunyempire.edu, to go to the SUNY Empire Brightspace homepage.
  • Click the "Discover" option in the NavBar.
  • Select the "SUNY Empire Adjunct Introduction to Brightspace" course.
    • Please note, you want to enroll in SUNY Empire's training course; not any listings for other institutions.
  • Click the "Self-enroll in course" button to complete your enrollment and begin going through the modules.

Faculty and adjunct instructors can request one-on-one consultations for support with any one of our supported platforms (Brightspace, LEARNscape, MS Teams) or more general training questions (ex. Accessibility, Virtual Study Groups, and Virtual Residencies). This is an easy way to learn more about tools and support options for courses, events, meetings, etc.


Recordings of past SUNY Empire Briefings and Trainings are available.
