Faculty Technology Support
The Office of Information Technology supports
faculty in the use of instructional technology through the Faculty Technology Support (FTS). Faculty Technology Support offers experienced team support to
Faculty seeking to integrate technology into their teaching. The FTS staff also administers and provides training and support for ANGEL (SU's learning management system). In addition, Faculty Technology Support offers a dedicated space where Faculty can get help with instructional technology or faculty development projects. The FTS lab is equipped with PC/Mac computer work stations,
scanners, and audio/video equipment. The FTS staff and student assistants are
available to consult with Faculty in the planning, design, development
and assessment of curricular projects by appointment.

best practices in instructional design: defining learning
objectives, planning instructional activities and matching
teaching and learning objectives to uses of technology.
