What faculty are saying:
“I had never set up a course with video modules. I was welcomed into the environment, shown how everything works, and walked through the process. Students have told me that they appreciate the time and energy I put into the video lectures.” —Michael Lovorn, PhD Assistant Professor of Social Studies Education, Department of Instruction and Learning, School of Education
“What I value most about working with instructional designers and technologists is the emphasis on the learning process and the needs of the learners. Their insights have made my courses much better.” —Christinger Tomer, PhD Associate Professor, School of Computing and Information “Working with the University of Pittsburgh Testing Center is fantastic. They are a model for the rest of the University.” —Ellen Cohn, PhD, CCC-SLP, ASHA-F, Department of Communication Science and Disorders, School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences “I was able to get the support I needed to develop a project for my class over a single semester. The Teaching Center provided me with support at every stage of the process, helping to research the technology, to secure equipment, and to provide teaching guides and demonstrations to my class.” —Erin Anderson, Assistant Professor The Writing Program, Department of English
