Teamwork

Our main office is located in AM-015 on the 2nd floor of the academic building.    MAP


In cooperation with the other divisions of the Health Informatics unit, FITS strives to support the academic endeavors at the Health Center. Specifically, FITS works on project development and technology support for Health Center faculty members. Below are descriptions of our major services.

  • Interactive Media for Education

    We can help you incorporate multimedia into your course as a means of engagement and enhancement. We welcome you to meet with us to review your learning objectives and design an effective solution.


  • Information Visualization/Animation/Simulation Projects

    Where static images and verbal descriptions are insufficient teaching aids, we may be able to help! By creating simple animations or sequences of graphics, we can provide you with a solution to your teaching challenge.


  • Faculty Coaching and Faculty-Requested Projects

    We may be a great resource of curricular support for you. Development computers for faculty use are in the library in room LB-042. We will gladly spend time helping you with any of the available hardware and software needed to enhance your instruction.

  • Training Support

    Contact us for a meeting to review and discuss your course structure and materials. We can then strategize a plan to revise or develop new course components such as learning objectives, lecture slides, visual or audio aids, learning activities, or test items.


  • Assessment Evaluation

    By meeting with us, we can review your learning objectives, examine your planned learning activities, and review the tools you are using to assess your students. We will also look at the various media available to you for assessing your students efficiently.

  • Blackboard Management and Support

    FITS provides user support and system implementation for UCHC's Blackboard system. We can help you prepare for Blackboard course delivery and assist you as you incorporate Blackboard tools and features in your instruction.


  • Digitization/Media Translation/Scanning

    We can help you translate your slides or x-rays into a digital format. We can quickly review your materials, help you learn to use the necessary hardware or software, and determine a timeline for helping you complete your project.

All faculty members are welcome to contact us so that we may discuss your needs and determine how we may best serve as a resource to you.
