Effective use of ICT in teaching and learning can take place at any stage of teaching and learning. This could be within:

• the educational design stage of a topic/course (e.g online group assignments) 
• a special project/research to address a specific teaching need with technology 
• one-off delivery in a lecture or tutorial (e.g. a lecture using multimedia)
• post-delivery - evaluating the use of technology, or using ICT-based evaluation tools

There are a range of local teams at Flinders that provide support across the spectrum of educational ICT use, each in different ways, including:

 

Locally, by Faculty/School:

• Local Faculty Support teams (support Faculty staff in use of FLO, elearning, computer-based learning, web development, flexible education) 

 

Centrally:

• Centre for Educational ICT (training in FLO and EdICT tools, educational design and emerging technologies, training in educational ICT)
• Digital Media Services (manage recording of streaming lecture videos, video conferencing, telephony, lecture theatre support)
• Library (support student use of FLO, manage digital resources collections)
• Information Technology Services (technical support for hardware, servers and desktop software)

 

Your best first contact for educational ICT support is your local faculty support teams.  These teams support FLO and other educational technologies within each Faculty. They also contribute to many University ICT groups and committees and teaching and learning committees.
