Instructional Computing is one of the service areas of the Instructional Technology department. We serve the SEU teaching community and engage faculty to integrate technology into innovative course curriculum. We collaborate with the Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE), incorporating both technical and pedagogical resources in order to promote and enhance teaching and learning.

Services provided by instructional design and programming staff range from:

• Joint consultation with CTE on curricular redesign involving technology
• Joint workshops with CTE on educational technology topics
• Instructional design consultation
• Blackboard instruction and course development
• Centra instruction and support (for online conferencing)
• Custom instructional web site design and web application development
• Custom development of multimedia learning applications

The Faculty Resource Center (FRC) is a part of the Instructional Computing group. The FRC is located in Premont Hall 110 and is staffed from 8am – 6pm, Monday – Friday. The FRC houses high-end technology for use by faculty. PC and Mac platforms, together with scanners, digital audio and video stations, CD-burners and color printers are available for everyday faculty use. One-on-one assistance with FRC technology is available through FRC staff. Faculty may gain 24 hour access to the FRC, once a door code has been provided.

Faculty Resource Center Services include:

• Assistance with FRC hardware (including printing)
• Assistance with lab software (including help with class rosters and productivity applications)
• Assistance with instructional digital audio/video projects (by appointment only)
