You need help. But maybe you’re not sure whom to contact.

So… who you gonna call?

 

 

Below are three resources you can always turn to for assistance:

  1. The School of Nursing Contact (Julia Wolfe, Instructional Technology Specialist at  julia.wolfe@austin.utexas.edu or 512 471 4552.)
  2. The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL)
  3. Liberal Arts Instructional Technology Services (LAITS)

 

Julia Wolfe – Support within UT Austin School of Nursing

  • Instructional Technology support
    • Need help with Canvas, Zoom, Honorlock, Panopto, Qualtrics, PowerPoint, or… dozens of other software and teaching tools?
    • Not sure if a particular tool or software is approved for use at UT?
    • If I don’t know the answer, I will find it or find someone who does.
  • Instructional Design support
    • Instructional Designers create things that help people learn. So, if you need ANY teaching-related assistance, not just with technology, I’m here to help. I can share ideas from other faculty or help you come up with a custom solution for your class and your students.

More information and lots of resources are available here on my blog: https://sites.utexas.edu/son-edtech-design/

 

CTL – UT Faculty Development & Instructional Support

The CTL provides all of UT faculty with many of the same services that I provide within the School of Nursing. But they also have the ability to do much more.

  • Teaching with Technology
  • Grad Student Development
  • New Faculty Symposium

All these and more are offered by the team at the CTL. And much more information is available on their website:  https://ctl.utexas.edu/
