The QC Learning Innovation Hub
Welcome to the Hub!
The Quincy College Learning Innovation Hub supports online teaching and learning by blending technology and pedagogical innovation through ongoing faculty professional development and student support. Events from the Hub offer hands-on work and group discussion to help faculty and students build confidence in innovative online teaching and learning practices so they can then spread ideas throughout our College community.
Our Learning Innovation Hub supports faculty in the use of cutting-edge tools for learning opportunities that meet the needs of all learners at Quincy College via Universal Design for Learning (UDL). In this sense, the Hub engages our entire College community to explore new thinking, ask new questions, and push beyond the realm of “learning as usual”.
