Technology for Teaching

The effective use of technology can help to make the learning experience more engaging for the students and make online teaching a little easier to manage. While there are new gadgets and gizmos popping up everyday, not all will have a place in teaching, though. We can help research and test the latest technologies to help determine their potential as a teaching tool or to save time and effort. Tell us about the problems you have and we'll try to help you find a solution.

In this section, we will highlight some of the hardware and software tools that are currently in use here on campus, as well as explore some technology ideas that you can incorporate into your teaching.
