Instructional Design
Instructional design suggestions are available through ITS, we can help you determine alternative methods of presenting material to students.

Equipment for Educational Use

• Video Recorders- HandyCam- create short instructional or demonstration videos. Videos can add a new component to a group project.
• Graphics Tablets- also known as drawing tablets are not just for artisit. A graphic tablet allows you to hand-write notes (formulas) or highlight information during PowerPoint presentation, reviewing a Word document and Excel spreadsheet.
  
• Tablet PCs- Small laptops that allow you to write on the screen with digital ink. Tablet PCs have a similar function as a graphire tablet hooked to a laptop except with a tablet you can actually write on the screen instead of having a writing pad. Since it uses Windows XP for Tablet PC, it is much easier to use and is much more portable than a laptop with a graphire tablet. Please contact us for a demonstration.
