WHAT IS THE USABILITY, SUPPORT AND EVALUATION LAB?

The Usability, Support and Evaluation Lab is a multi-purpose facility where faculty can come together to share ideas and work with staff who are experts in instructional technology and digital media. Instructional technologists help faculty to effectively integrate electronic tools into their teaching by providing assistance for a long-term project or short-term technical support. The goal is to assist faculty to apply technology for innovative teaching and learning.

Additionally, the Usability, Support and Evaluation Lab supports the development and implementation of new instructional products and projects.

TRAINING

Workshops are available on many topics relevant to the use of technology in teaching. See our Training page for more information on what is available.
