The Office of Teaching and Learning Technologies occasionally co-sponsors one to two events during the semester with the Center for Teaching Excellence to offer technology workshops for faculty. 

Center for Teaching Excellence Events

Many faculty are incorporating multimedia into student projects. The office can work with you to develop a video assignment. Students have access to Macs with iMovie in Media Services and the Phillips Memorial Library for editing work.

Our main office is located at Feinstein 306. Please contact tlt@providence.edu in advance if you would like to drop by for a consultation.

Hands-on workshops are generally offered in mid-August through early September, mid-January, and the week after Commencement.

The department maintains a small supply of iPads for faculty to borrow throughout the semester.

Our current audience response tool is TopHat, a bring-your-own-device tool for students. Results can be linked to each student for grading purposes. This office provides the software for using TopHat, as well as consultation on how and why to use them in your class. Visit our TopHat FAQ to learn more.

The department maintains the Faculty Development Lab in Feinstein 306. The lab is available with ID card access. It’s a quiet place to work on your course sites and digital learning materials or to check your email and grade papers.

Resources available to you in the Faculty Development Lab:

• 3 PCs
• 3 Macs with video editing software
• Scanner
• Color printer
• Office supplies
