Resources for Faculty

Technology-Enhanced Classrooms (TEC's)
We have created several new classrooms and auditoriums with access to technology for use during classes. Each room has a video/data projector, electric screen, sound, and touch panel controls. Auditoriums also have permanently installed DVD player, VCR, amplifier, two VGA jacks for laptops, and microphone jacks. The Dickey Hall classrooms have jacks on the wall for plugging in DVD player, VCR, and one VGA jack for a laptop. We will give you instructions on how to use the new equipment.

Faculty Technology Mentors
The two Faculty Technology Mentors, Zoran Milovanovich and Frank Worts, will provide help and support to faculty in creating and using technology-based materials. You can contact them through the ATS, ext. 7355.

  • WebCT support & training

Faculty Technology Lab
Dickey Hall room 146, next to ATS, is set up with four workstations, two scanners, a document camera for faculty technology development. The lab is open from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday.

Technology Information Resources
ATS has gathered a variety of technology resources in ATS and links to web-based resources in a collection of journals, catalogs, articles, manuals, instructional tapes and CDs and other media to assist faculty in better using technology in their classroom instruction and for professional development.

As faculty, you are welcome to look through the resources, check something out and talk with the Director about instructional problems which may be solved with technology.
