Teaching & Learning
Connect's Teaching & Learning column focuses on the ways in which technology is integrated into the classroom, how new and emerging tools may affect teaching and learning techniques, and how NYU faculty and students can get assistance with the University’s technology tools.
Spend Your Summer at ITP Camp
ITP Camp is a four-week evening and weekend program that offers professionals and students a chance to get their feet wet with cutting-edge technologies. The emphasis is on using technology to turn ideas into reality, and encouraging students to create physical representations of their ideas.
Figuring Out Fair Use with the Libraries
As NYU faculty work through the summer to prepare their course materials for the fall semester, it is important to keep in mind the ways in which fair use can be used to provide research materials to students.
Your Own Personal Hacker
Change in IT security is so rapid that what is learned in a classroom can be out of date by the time the class is over. The Hacker in Residence program at NYU Tandon School of Engineering provides access to security professionals so students can get experience with security issues.

Instructional technologists consult with faculty to help them determine the best ways to integrate innovative pedagogy and state-of-the-art media into courses.
NYU Libraries Launches NYU Digital Scholarship Services
NYU Libraries recently launched Digital Scholarship Services (DSS), a new service that helps NYU faculty and students incorporate digital scholarship tools and methods into their research and teaching.

Mobile Apps Foster a New Learning Experience at Stern
For most students, orientation means sitting through hours of presentations and speeches. At NYU Stern’s MBA program, it’s a little bit different. Since 2013, new students participate in the Langone Lab, a two-day experiential program. Students participate in a design-thinking experience where they use cutting-edge mobile technology and applications to come up with actual product prototypes that they present to professors and peers.
Teaching Practices & Technology Platforms
While the addition of technology into teaching practices is a growing trend in curriculum design, providing support for faculty on effective implementation strategies is becoming an even more critical piece of the equation.
Student Groups Encourage Data Access
For NYU’s student developers, writing code is not always the most challenging part; it is getting access to the large amount of data that a successful app requires.
Coding 101
Codecademy offers interactive online instruction in a variety of programming languages—all at no cost. Recently, they have teamed up with NYU’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development to offer students the chance to learn coding in both a classroom and online environment.
