ITC has Moved to Serve You Better! The Innovative Technology Center has completed its move from the 4th floor of Dunford Hall to the Kingston Pike Building, located at 2309 Kingston Pike, next to Tyson Park. All workshops will now take place in the Kingston Pike Building. Anyone with a valid UT parking tag can park in the lot...and there are plenty of spaces! Come visit us in our new location at your convenience, or invite us to meet with you in your office. You can also drop by the 2nd floor of Hodges Library in the Commons North, where we're available for consultation Monday through Friday. View the ITC Commons Schedule The New ITC Blog! Visit the ITC Blog to read about new--as well as tried and true--instructional technologies and strategies, catch up on the latest trends and issues, and share your insights with us and each other. Faculty Survey: Quick Stats Most of the 220 of you who responded to the 2008 Faculty Instructional Technology Survey said you preferred learning about using technology in teaching and learning via face-to-face workshops (82%) and one-on-one mentoring (76%). We will continue to offer these services at our new location in the Kingston Pike Building as well as being available for consultations in Hodges Library at The Commons.
