Faculty Spotlight

Throughout the year, ITC will "put the spotlight" on a member of the UT teaching community so you can share in the innovative uses of technology they bring to the teaching practice.

Providing electronic access to resources: How Dr. John Koontz uses clickers, Online@UT (Blackboard) and LiveOnline@UT (Centra) to engage students. Dr. John Koontz Professor Biochemistry and Cellular and Molecular Biology

Dr. John Koontz is a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Cellular and Molecular Biology.  He currently teaches the upper division BCMB 401 and 402 sequence.  He was an early adopter of the eInstruction CPS "clickers" to increase student engagement in large lecture classes and is participating in a pilot of the Turning Point clickers.  Dr. Koontz also uses many of the content delivery and interaction tools available in the Online@UT (Blackboard) system, and provides students audio and video recordings of classroom lectures using LiveOnline@UT (Centra).
