Online Teaching Resources

Center for Teaching and Learning

The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) supports excellence in teaching and encourages research, publications, and other scholarly and creative work produced by the University’s faculty. In addition, CTL hosts workshops and other events throughout the academic year. Register for a workshop 

Academic Technology

The Academic Technology department offers assistance with University-supported technologies, one-on-one training, and conducts workshops to promote use of technology in both virtual and face-to-face classrooms. You can also learn about emerging technologies. Register for a workshop.

University Library 

St. John’s University Libraries support teaching and learning by providing access to physical and electronic resources, information literacy instruction, research assistance and other academic services for students and faculty. Faculty can request an instruction session, which can be customized to meet the needs of their student learning objectives. The Librarian Liaison Program embeds librarian faculty within specific academic departments across the University. Librarians can answer research questions or provide one-on-one research consultations. 

Open Educational Resources

Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching and learning materials that you may use without charge. If you need images, project ideas, a look at a syllabus from a course in a similar discipline, or ideas for lessons, OER can provide answers and inspiration, as well as save time and money.
