The Digital Learning Instructional Technologies (InTech) team also offers proactive training and direct support for four tech tools that can help instructors and students across the University collaborate, create community and practice skills:
- PlayPosit, an interactive video player
- Examity, an online proctoring service
- VoiceThread, a visual discussion board
- Canvas Credentials (Badgr), a digital badging platform
For more information on these technologies, please visit Tools. For details about upcoming technology training workshops and events, visit the Digital Learning Events Calendar.
We keep our eyes on emerging educational technologies, but we also want to hear what interests you. If you want to learn about a new technology, are using a tool in your course that you think could be useful for others, or are curious about how to solve a teaching and learning challenge, please talk to us. Our instructional technologists evaluate new technologies and run tech pilots throughout the year, and we are happy to work with you on tech innovations. To learn more about our current pilots and how you might get involved, Contact Us.
