1. What technology do I have
in my classroom?
Classroom technology ranges from overhead projectors
and screens to integrated classroom systems which include document
cameras, VCRs, computers and video/data projectors. When visiting
your classroom before classes begin, take a quick glance at the
technology. If there is any equipment unfamiliar to you, phone
TLTDC at 836-2651 to arrange for a classroom equipment demonstration.
TLTDC also has a pool of equipment for loan to faculty and students
to cover those days when the technology in a particular classroom
may not suffice.
2. What software
do my students have access to?
A listing of the software available
to students in general access labs and in classrooms can be found.
This web page will provide the information on which software is
in which lab; to learn about particular software in a classroom
phone TLTDC at 836-2651. In addition, full time students may purchase
a copy of the Microsoft Office Suite for home or dorm use for
$30.00. Direct students to (http://wiscinfo.doit.wisc.edu/wisc/)
for more information. If your students need access to software
not listed, please contact Carol Accola Koich (836-4644, accolacm@uwec.edu)
in Student Computing Environments.
3. I need a particular
piece of software for my students. How do I get it installed in
the labs?
To have software installed in the general access
labs, contact Carol Accola Koich (836-4644, accolacm@uwec.edu)
in CNS. You will need to provide the software, the license agreement
and any installation instructions that came with the software.

4. How can my students
learn more about technology?
The BITS and PALS programs, coordinated by Juanita
Ikuta (836-3821, ikutajm@uwec.edu)
in McIntyre Library, provide workshops and one-on-one instruction
for students wishing to learn more about technology. If you need
your whole class to learn about a particular software package,
Juanita and her staff can also provide some technology training
in your classroom or in a general access lab during your class
time.
5. I would like
my students to use a computer lab during class. Where can we go?
Computer labs exist in all academic buildings and
can be reserved by phoning the Registrar's Office at 836-3838.
You can check the current schedule
for the general access labs online.
6. My students are
working on a group project. Is there shared file space available?
For short terms projects, your students have access
to the tempspace directory by mapping a drive to \\fs3\tempspace.
This shared space is purged regularly so they should keep back-ups
of the files they place there. Another approach is for you to
create a folder in your department's share on the W:/ drive and
give your students permissions on the folder. Contact the CNS
Help Desk for more information. A third approach would be to make
use of the group features provided by either Blackboard or WebCT.
Contact Donna Raleigh (836-5162, draleigh@uwec.edu)
or Kathy Finder (836-2654, finderks@uwec.edu)
for information.

7. How and where
and can I publish my website?
You can publish your curricular web site by requesting
space on the Lucy server. Once you have space on the Lucy server,
move your web pages there and then request to have them linked.
For detailed information on the process and the request form,
go to (http://www.uwec.edu/webdev/Pagebuild/process.htm).
8. How and where
can my students publish web pages?
For publishing class-related web projects that you
want live on the World Wide Web store them in your curricular
web account. Our University Web Coordinator, Lillian Hillis (836-4214,
hillislf@uwec.edu), will
work with you to make sure your students have the correct permission
to access the space. If you do not already have an account, you
can submit a Web Publishing
Account Request form found online. For student projects that
will not go live on the Web, you can use the DeptDir Share (the
W:\ drive) for storing the projects. It also allows students to
share files as they work on the project.
If you advise a recognized student organization
and the group wishes to develop a website, you can use the same
form listed above to submit a Web
Publishing Account Request for them.
Currently, there is no provision for student personal
web pages.
