Faculty Center for Teaching and e-Learning

UNC Charlotte

Abstract (up to 200 words):
It has been a year since activity began to successfully combine a conceptual model for instructional technology training and support with an existing Faculty Center for Teaching. This combined Center, the Faculty Center for Teaching and e-Learning, has formally existed since July 1st of last year and serves the entire campus. The greatest overall challenges have been to plan for and ultimately create an effective e-Learning component and to then functionally merge that with the pedagogical aspects of the Center. The focus of this session will be on the development of operational instructional technology training and support, our successes and setbacks, how we have overcome significant obstacles, where we are today, and what is in store for our future. Included major elements in this presentation are WebCT, website development, multimedia, faculty and student support infrastructure, training development and presentation, Centra, Distance Education support, and the Campus Pipeline Luminis portal product.
