IT Workshops for Students of Lehman College
The Spring 2026 IT Workshops Schedule offers students a comprehensive range of training sessions designed to enhance digital skills and support effective use of technology in academic and administrative contexts. The schedule includes workshops on Zoom, Microsoft 365 applications, and emerging tools such as Microsoft CoPilot.
These workshops are designed to help you enhance your teaching, learning, and working experience with various IT applications and platforms. You will get hands-on training from our expert instructors, who will guide you through the features and functions of each tool. You will also get the opportunity to ask questions, share feedback, and network with your colleagues.
The instructor-led IT workshops are free and open to all students of Lehman College. However, registration is required for all sessions.
Alternatively, we offer two self-paced online learning platforms which offer thousands of courses and videos on various topics, such as business, technology, education, and more. You can learn at your own pace, anytime, anywhere, and on any device.
- Check out the online classes from Skillsets Online.
- Get access to LinkedIn Learning using your CUNY Login Account for free.

NEW! Introduction to Bb ALLY
Bb Ally - Is your Course Content Accessible for EVERY Student?
As educators, we strive to create learning environments that are engaging, inclusive, and accessible for all students. Blackboard Ally is a powerful tool that helps us achieve these goals by improving the accessibility of our course materials and supporting a diverse range of learning needs.
Accessibility is not just about compliance. It removes barriers to learning and gives every student an equitable opportunity to succeed. Whether students use assistive technologies, learn on mobile devices, manage temporary disabilities, or simply benefit from more flexible formats, Ally helps ensure your course content is available in ways that meet their individual needs. In our workshop session, we will explore how Blackboard Ally evaluates course content, identifies accessibility concerns, and provides practical guidance for improving documents, presentations, PDFs, and other instructional materials. We will also examine the alternate formats automatically generated by Ally, such as audio, electronic braille, immersive reader, and tagged PDF versions, which can enhance the learning experience for all students.
Our goal is not to become accessibility experts overnight, but rather to develop effective practices that make our courses more welcoming, usable, and supportive for every learner. Please join us on Thursday, October 8th from 2-3 PM and learn all about Blackboard Ally! Bring your questions too!
