Learning Innovations and Academic Development, or LIAD, is both a service and delivery department at George Brown. We offer a variety of online and distance programs and courses, like Logistics and Supply Chain Management, Court Reporting, Creative Writing, and general education electives.

In our service role, we foster and support the use of educational technologies to enhance and enrich learning and teaching at GBC. Whether it’s getting set up in Blackboard, creating a web page, designing and conducting online surveys, or learning how to use threaded discussions or chats, LIAD is here to help faculty use e-tools to help students learn.

I hope you find something helpful, informative, or interesting in this e-zine, and, please, send us your comments and suggestions, and share your best e-teaching and learning experiences and accomplishments. We’d love to hear from you.

Building and maintaining a robust technical infrastructure to accommodate the rapid expansion of e-learning. Working closely with our Information Technology partners, Blackboard will be our focus to provide the strength, scope, and stability needed.

Building internal human resource capacity, both within LIAD itself and within the broader college community.
