Training for Instructors

training-room

We host the NExTT workshops. NExTT stands for "New Experiences with Teaching Technology." This series of workshops is held in January and July/August for instructors and instructional support staff. Sessions include ICON, Poster Creation, Introduction to Web 2.0 Tools, Student Response Systems (clickers), Effective Uses of PowerPoint, and more. Participants can choose to register for only those sessions they wish to attend.

One-on-one consulting

You may drop in to UCC 2800 (Old Capitol Centre) at any time, or by appointment, and receive one-on-one assistance with a wide variety of technologies. You may keep a coach by your side, or use us to get started and use our computers to keep going on your own. Contact us by phone or e-mail icon-support@uiowa.edu to set up an appointment.

Departmental/TA Training

Call us to set up a small-group training opportunity, either in our facility or in your department. We can quickly set up training in ICON, digital imaging such as Photoshop and Fireworks, digital video, such as iMovie or Final Cut Pro, audio, etc.

The mission of Instructional Services at the University of Iowa is to support instructors and researchers who wish to integrate technology into their work. The term "instructors" also includes the hundreds of teaching assistants here at the University of Iowa and can be expanded to include support staff whose work directly impacts teaching. Therefore, Instructional Services offers workshops throughout the semester for TAs and Departments at the request of departments. Please contact Annette Beck (335-6043, annette-beck@uiowa.edu) for more information or to schedule a time.

Campus-wide workshops

We offer workshops on a variety of topics throughout the year. These include hands-on training and discussion of effective uses of ICON, PowerPoint, Photoshop, digital images and digital video, to name a few. http://www.its.uiowa.edu/training/
