The Student Technology Consultants Program

New for 2010! We're excited to be piloting a new way to introduce instructional technologies to the faculty, staff and graduate students in the College of Arts and Humanities. We are now offering:

  • Software demonstrations: Our student technology consultants are rolling out teaching-related demonstrations of popular software programs you may be wanting to learn more about. Each demonstration will focus on a comparison of key programs used to do a certain task. We're beginning with quarter with a workshop that will demonstrate Photoshop and Picasa. If you're not sure whether you need to learn Photoshop to do necessary image editing or could get by with a simple program like Picasa, this demonstration is for you!
  • Workshops: We'll be doing more workshops with smaller limits to make sure everyone is fully supported in each workshop we do. Our goal is a 3:1 ratio--no more than 3 participants for each STC in any workshop setting.
  • One-on-one sessions: Have our STCs come to your office or another on-campus location that's convenient for you! We have trained STCs available to help you learn, or go further, with many instructional technologies you're interested in. To submit a request for a one-on-one session with a student technology consultant, please fill out a form on our Request Help page.

The goal of the STC program is to help faculty, graduate students, and teaching staff to become proficient and autonomous users of self-selected technologies. The program trains undergraduate and graduate students to provide technical support for teachers in the College of Arts and Humanities who are using, or would like to start using, instructional technology in their classes.

We go to where teachers actually work (classrooms and offices) to help them learn new technologies that will improve the academic experiences of their students. In addition to technology consulting, STCs provide information on the whereabouts and access to labs, studios, support people, online systems (like wikis, blogs, survey engines), online tutorials, and other resources. We are happy to take suggestions for workshops that will design and run for larger groups of OSU teachers in the College of Arts and Humanities.
