Welcome to Our Newsletter
Greetings. Most of you have known us as the Instructional Media Lab and you may have noticed we are now called the Faculty Innovation Center (FIC). We changed our name due to a generous equipment grant from HP to open a center where faculty can find ongoing training and support for integrating technologies into teaching and learning. Sometime this spring, the FIC will open a faculty center on the 2nd floor of ETC. At that time, we'll have an open house for the new center and for our newly renovated lab in ETC 5.154.
Last summer we signed a license for Prometheus, a courseware tool. Since that time, we now have 60 faculty accounts and over 1500 students using Prometheus. We conduct hands-on training sessions as meeting with you individually. Our next training is scheduled for February 19th from 2:00- 4:00 in ETC 2.144. Please see http://fic.engr.utexas.edu/prometheus.html for more information and to sign up for the next training.
