With the start of Fall 2014 term, InTRO has been officially launched:

Message on Behalf of Doug Blandy ~

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce a new program designed to help faculty find easier access to instructional technology resources. The Instructional Technology Referral Office (InTRO), is a first-stop resource designed to facilitate faculty implementation of educational technology. InTRO encourages innovation and excellence in teaching practice by minimizing obstacles, facilitating connections, and helping identify the appropriate service provider to meet individual faculty needs. InTRO’s goal is to support excellence in online and on-campus education at the University of Oregon.

InTRO is a partnership between Academic Extension and the UO Libraries, in collaboration with the Teaching Effectiveness Program. Information about the history and staff of InTRO are available on the website.

The InTRO team is based in 147A Knight Library and is available throughout the week for consultations.

Drop-in Hours:

• Tue. and Thur., 3:00–5:00 p.m.
• Wed. and Fri., 11:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.

Please encourage your faculty to take advantage of this important resource.

Best,
Doug Blandy
Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs
