Welcome
to the Instructional Resource Center (IRC) home page. Our mission
is to assist faculty in their use of technology to advance effective
teaching and learning. |
| |
| |
Our
center houses a wide selection of computer hardware and software that
is available for faculty use. |
| |
| |
Another
critical function of the IRC is to provide system-wide training and
support for instructors using HuskyCT, the e-learning system used
at UConn. |
| |
| |
We
also are in charge of scheduling the use of Room 214, a classroom
in the Center for Undergraduate Education that is equipped with 20
computers and a teaching station. |
