The goal of the Faculty Technology Center (FTC) is to inspire and assist faculty in using technology to improve teaching and learning.  We help with everything from how to use technology for teaching to how to use technology to manage and administer your classes.

Independence Day

The FTC will be closed July 4, 5 and 6 to observe Independence Day - have a great holiday!

The FTC will offer a series of tech workshops the week before the fall faculty contracts, August 6-10. Look for the schedule to come out in June. Come to as few or as many sessions as you want. It's a great opportunity to brush up on Blackboard, eLive, Camtasia, PowerPoint, etc. before the start of all the beginning of the year meetings.
