ETDL Faculty/Staff Resources and Services

The department of Educational Technology and Distance Learning provides services to faculty who wish to use technology in the curriculum. Assistance is provided with a range of technology applications, from a small, specific use to a completely online course. Consulting services and project assistance are available upon request, and interested faculty and staff should contact Bonnie Riedinger. Training sessions are periodically organized on various topics according to demand.

The Faculty/Staff Technology Sandbox, in LRC B130, provides a space where faculty and staff may utilize specialized software and equipment, and work on technology projects. Faculty should be aware that there are Open Computer Labs on the second floor of the LRC that provide computing space for students who need to do classwork. For more information, contact Bonnie Riedinger by email or phone at 860-512-2852.
