On Topic Episode 35: Questionable Undefined Modalities

Recorded July 21, 2023

We’re joined by Marina Walton from Trinity University to talk Faculty Support covering everything from identifying champions, supporting innovative learning spaces (that everyone hates), engaging department chairs, hosting an IT Open House to put faces to names, adding a personal touch to IT support, and much more. We also discuss an article (and related study) about giving faculty more time to learn and adopt new technologies before deploying them campus wide.

• Does it turn on, show a picture; don’t worry about it
• Just because it works, doesn’t mean it’s a success
