Academic Events
Virtual / Hybrid / HyFlex
The Teaching and Learning Commons (TLC) supports and offer consultations and assistance/guidance for virtual/hybrid/HyFlex educational events directly related to WVU faculty training and support, student education and success, and special events that support the land-grant mission of the University.
We execute instructional efficiencies, often collaborating with UR, ITS, A&E, Erickson Alumni Center AV, College of Law AV, HSC ITS, among others to consolidate efforts and utilize in-house locations, talents, and expertise. We manage and offer training and support for two Zoom Webinars licenses and one Zoom Large Meeting license, available for reservation by WVU colleges and departments.
TLC supports virtual/in person/hybrid events with set-up, assistance, training, production, and event management. Whenever possible, we strive to empower faculty and staff to be the host of their own events and encourage the use of TLC classrooms and WVU locations that are equipped to stream and record. We provide event report tracking, video editing, and third-party captioning services when applicable.

“It took a lot of people to pull this off and make Senator Manchin’s Academy Training Day the event that it was. I want to acknowledge the role you played in supporting the technology needs for several of our sessions. I can’t thank you each enough, taking on this task and spending a good chunk of your Saturday in doing so. Your service to WVU and the state of West Virginia on that day, in that event, is deeply appreciated.”
