The Faculty Technology Walk-In Center (FTWIC) has just completed its first year of operation. Consisting of 16 STARS, directed by Bob Cuddihee and Stan Walonoski, the FTWIC staff worked with a total of 60 Faculty on 95 different projects. While the projects varied in purpose, goals, and scope, all of them shared the common aim of assisting faculty in the use of technology in the classroom.
This year we hope to expand the services of the FTWIC by increasing the total number of STARS from 16 to 20 and wish to extend an invitation to the academic chairs to help us focus our support services for you. With your help, the FTWIC can provide the services you and your staff require to make the best use of technology in the classroom.
Currently, the FTWIC is offering the following services:
- Full support for WebCT
- Full support for MySCSU
- Assistance in the creation, development and maintenance of faculty web sites
- Support for Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint
- Scanning of images and text of all types (from books, magazines, photos, slides)
- OCR conversion of scanned or existing documents
- Conversion of documents to pdf format
- Audio and video production and editing
- VHS to DVD conversion
- Creation of large-format posters for presentation at professional conferences
- Development and creation of interactive learning modules
If you have time, please print and fill out the FTWIC Suggestion Form (click here) and send it to your departmental secretary. Just a few minutes of your time will greatly expand our understanding of faculty technology needs. Thank you for your participation.
Sincerely,
W. Alvin Chai, CIO
