In a presentation to the Environmental Sustainability Committee, David Shulman and Yaping Gao of the Instructional Technology Department, presented an approach to greener classrooms via e-learning technologies. Key points included...

- BCC provides an online e-learning classroom presence for any faculty member wishing to enhance his/her teaching and learning.

- Use of an online, paperless approach to classroom management provides a one-stop-shop for content dissemination, and avoids the need to churn out realms of paper.

- The e-learning presence is provided in Blackboard, the College's learning management system for online sections. This allows the professor to store electronic versions of syllabi, handouts, PowerPoint presentations, and just about any other file format.

- Faculty are encouraged to take the short workshop titled Blackboard Lite to assist them in setting up the green portion of their course.
