Teaching Technologies Center (TTC)
Room 211, Crawford
The Teaching Technologies Center provides a state-of-the-art multimedia-equipped
training facility and a series of tools and technologies to assist faculty
in enhancing their course content through the inclusion of technology.
It also provides faculty with a location to experiment with new tools
and technologies before committing them to use in their courses.
Technology-enhanced course content development
can be viewed as an integration of three distinct yet related
processes: course content creation, delivery/distribution,
and encapsulation. The Teaching Technologies Center provides training on, support
for, and access to the tools and technologies required for
each of these three development processes.
One-on-one consultation regarding the inclusion of technology
in course content is also available; contact the Instructional
Technologies staff at extension 8019 to schedule an appropriate
time.
