Teaching with Technology

Librarians at the Cushing/Whitney Medical Library offer instruction in the use of CourseInfo and presentation graphics (such as MS PowerPoint) to assist faculty and their support staff in integrating new technology into their teaching.

Blackboard (CourseInfo)
The library collaborates with faculty who wish to deliver their courses to students via the World Wide Web. Blackboard offers faculty the opportunity to place course materials on the Web without needing to learn HTML. Training is available to get starting using Blackboard. Contact Judy Spak, Instructional Technology Coordinator, for more information regarding Blackboard and what it can do for you, or to arrange a training session.

To request a Blackboard site for your class, please visit its.med.yale.edu/about_itsmed/academic_computing/meded/courserequest.html.

Computer Assisted Instruction Materials
The Instructional Technology Coordinator consults with faculty who wish to supplement their teaching with computer assisted instruction materials. The library acquires software at the request of faculty for a particular course as well as software for general review or USMLE preparation. You can view a complete list of computer assisted instruction materials available.

Additional Resources
Additional resources for curriculum support are available from ITS-Medicine's Academic Computing and Web Design + Development Group.
