Graduate Student

"Workshops that are conducted by ITS are just great. They gave me an opportunity to learn new things and new tools like Microsoft Groove and even old tools in greater detail. I've attended workshops on advanced tools like Dreamweaver and techniques like cascading style sheets.

I never thought I could design a website by myself. But believe me, I can now!"

Technology Enhanced Classrooms

• Showcase available technology– Interactive smart board– Document camera– VHS/DVD combo player– Laptop carts

"Two of the many great features of the smart boards is that professors can save their lecture one day and pick up where they left off the next and also they can scroll through slides instead of sliding boards one over the other.

It's a much better system than the dry erase boards for professors who tend to write on the board."

"What a great tool for capturing lecture notes to share with online students, as well as to have available in Blackboard for any students to review or catch up on missed classes!"

These notes are ‘captured’ and can be exported as a pdf file.

Educational Leadership

"I have been pleased with the students’ exhibition of engagement between content and technology. My students have really liked the immediate feedback that they received when using the clickers and disagreements on answers has sparked some lively discussion between students."

Mary Sheila TracyInstructor

Computer Science

"I can see the code that my students are working on while they type! This helps me to quickly identify which students are having difficulties applying the theory to the actual code. NetOps also allows me to share great code segments from individual students with the entire class. It lets the students see how different classmates take different approaches to problem-solving."
