Also during the Advising Period, faculty with an Approval-required course determine the students who are approved to be enrolled in the course. During registration rounds, faculty must be available to grant course waivers. Throughout the term MARS demonstration and training sessions are offered to assist faculty in thoroughly understanding the on-line registration system. The Center for Educational Technology offers faculty the opportunity to learn new skills that are applicable to the design, development, and implementation of computer-driven teaching tools and strategies. CET schedules orientations, workshops, and course modules that are both skill-based and focused on issues of instructional design.
Special presentations keep faculty informed of best practices in teaching with technology.
CET staff collaborate with faculty to address pedagogical problems and goals through effective implementation of an array of appropriate technologies to enhance student learning. ITS staff members also offer computing education and training opportunities for faculty and for their classes upon request. In addition, public classes are regularly offered for the campus community. The computing Helpdesk is located in Voter Hall and may be reached by phone at x2200. Information Technology Services professional staff members are available at the Helpdesk weekdays, with extended evening and weekend coverage provided by student consultants at x5933.
