Instructional Technology Services

Faculty Services (Student services for technology found here)

The Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE) and the Office of Student Support and Success (OSSS) offers Instructional Technology Services to faculty and students in the teaching and learning environment.

Faculty interested in such services can contact the CTE Instructional Technologist/Technical Projects and Operations Manager to make an appointment.  Walk-in visits are also welcome in the Technical Resource Lab, STT589.

  • Lecture Capture: Panopto

    Panopto is a presentation-capture system that allows instructors to record what happens in their classrooms and make it available digitally. The Panopto recording interface is only available through the Brightspace learning management system.

    Faculty can use Panopto on a classroom computer to capture interactions, lectures, presentations, student demonstrations and role-playing scenarios. It can also be used on a faculty member’s computer to create learning modules to deliver ancillary content or pre-lecture information.
