Our mission is to facilitate the integration of instructional technology into teaching. We provide professional development, design assistance, and imaging services to UA faculty. Our design and imaging staff members help faculty create course resources. Our faculty development staff members offer workshops and seminars to help faculty learn about technology available campus-wide. We create and post guides and resources for faculty who want to learn about instructional technology independently. Faculty consult with us about ways to effectively use technology in teaching. We are available by phone or email to help faculty when they have questions or problems with instructional technology. We conduct research to learn about new types of instructional technology as they emerge. For more information about our services contact Dr. Marilyn Staffo at mstaffo@ua.edu or 348-4484.
