Technology Mentors
Your UCET Tech Mentor might just be right around the corner! Last year, UCET initiated the Technology Mentor program. The Tech Mentors are faculty volunteers who are the liaisons between their respective departments as well as office neighbors (same building and floor) and UCET. If you have a technology-related question or concern, you may want to convey that to your Tech Mentor. S/he will answer those questions the best way s/he can. If not, s/he will contact UCET for more information. UCET holds periodic meetings with Tech Mentors to update them on issues and instructional tools available on campus.
While our Tech Mentors have a wide range of technology skills and knowledge, some of them may know more than others. The Tech Mentors could help you with how to do podcasts, how to use Oncourse CL as an integral part of your course, how to navigate OneStart as well as how to use Adobe Connect (formerly known as Breeze) meeting service, Office 2007, wikis, etc. If they can't answer your questions they can point you towards finding an answer.
To find your Tech Mentors, look for a sign/ID posted on their doors. The names and departments of each Tech Mentor are listed below. If your department is not listed and you see a Tech Mentor’s name whose office is near yours, feel free to contact that individual.
