Instructional Technology Services | ||||
The University of Illinois at Chicago provides extensive instructional technology resources and support to faculty and staff. From multimedia presentations to Internet conferencing to publishing class materials on the World Wide Web -- there's help available for all your instructional technology needs. Each of the UIC instructional technology support units introduced in this article have specific areas of specialization and they approach instructional technology from different points of view. But there's a lot of overlap in what they do, and in what they can help you do. If you don't know where to go for help for your particular problem, please contact any one of them; they work closely together and will refer you to the best support group for you. For an up-to-date list of instructional technology resources available at UIC, visit the Instructional Technology Resources Web page in the "Classroom" section of the UIC home page, or visit the page directly at the URL: http://www.uic.edu/depts/oaa/imp/inst/ |
