The purpose of the Tech Time program is to allow faculty to share with other faculty the pedagogical advantages of particular computer applications. The Tech Time program does not concentrate on actually teaching the computer application in question; rather it focuses on showing how specific applications can be used to advantage in classrooms. Tech Time presentations are often followed up by training sessions offered by Information Technology Services to those faculty who show interest in learning the applications presented. The Center for Teaching and Learning has sponsored the following
