Instructional Support Services provides a variety of services
for faculty and students. To support faculty online course
development, ISS provides individualized training in the use of
WebCT. Instructional Support Services also assists faculty who
want to develop multimedia and employ other instructional
technologies in their courses. To further facilitate our
distance education activities, Instructional Support Services
collaborates with the UH System campuses and is actively
involved in the Texas Distance Learning Association and local
Gulf Coast Distance Learning Association. Instructional Support
Services keeps abreast of the latest technologies and of
distance learning activities throughout the state and region.
Instructional Support Services also provides support for
students enrolled at University of Houston-Victoria. ISS
ensures that students with documented disabilities receive
reasonable accommodations in the classroom by working closely
with faculty and the Office of Student Recruitment and
Relations. Students who are enrolled in online courses can
receive technical assistance with WebCT (the online course
delivery system) from ISS staff. Also, online students can gain
additional information and assistance from the website developed
specifically for them (http://www.uhv.edu/webct).
Finally, ISS oversees the Academic Center, which provides
valuable tutorial, testing, and instructional resources for
students, faculty, and staff. The
Academic
Center has an extensive website at
http://www.uhv.edu/ac.
The
Academic
Center
provides writing and subject area assistance as well as
instructional resources to students, faculty, and staff. The
Center also offers a variety of testing services.
The Academic Center is a resource center for students, faculty,
and staff. By appointment or online the Center staff review
class papers, articles for publication, and university
publications. During sessions with the tutors, individuals may
discuss a paper in progress. Trained tutors review these
documents, make suggestions for revision, and discuss techniques
for analyzing and revising writing. Tutors also provide a
similar service online. Students, faculty, and staff at the
University may email documents as attachments to the Center. We
will review the document and return the draft with our comments
and suggestions within 24-36 hours.
To schedule appointments for this service, individuals can call
(361) 570-4288. To find out how to have materials reviewed

The Center offers subject area tutoring in the following areas
depending on the demand for such services: mathematics, computer
science, and biology. During sessions with tutors, individuals
may discuss concerns related to courses that are in progress.
The
Academic
Center
has a library of instructional resources. We have a variety of
style manuals, including The Publication Manual of the
American Psychological Association, the MLA Handbook for
Writers of Research Papers, and The Associated Press
Stylebook and Libel Manual. We also have a library of
grammar handbooks and other writing resource manuals and books
which may be used in the center. The
staff has developed a number of writing, grammar, and ESL
handouts including information on business writing, audience
analysis, and resumes and cover letters. These handouts are
available both onsite (University
of Houston-Victoria, University Center, room 122) and on our web
page at

individuals are encouraged to visit this site often.
The Center provides academic testing services. Students can

provided on an appointment basis.
