Academic Technology

The Academic Technology team is comprised of highly qualified professionals skilled not only in the use of technology but also in pedagogy. Many of the staff have advanced degrees in instructional design and are trained to collaborate with subject matter experts, such as faculty, to design instruction that integrates technology in pedagogically sound and effective ways.

Since the tools available for instruction have grown more powerful and more complicated, our role is to support the increasing emphasis on the use of instructional technology within the GPC community.

Our team is responsible for:

Delivering formal training on the use of GPC Instructional Technology tools and services
Providing on-going support in the use of GPC Instructional Technology tools and services
Operating and offering technical and instructional consultation within the Instructional Design Labs & Media Spots
Implementing instructional projects
Learning Management System (iCollege) administration, support, and training
GPC Rewind (Echo 360 lecture capture) administration, support, and training

We are pleased to support teaching and learning with technology at GPC, so join us for trainings and workshops, drop by our Instructional Design Labs on each campus, request a consultation, or submit a service desk ticket at any time.

We specialize in:

Identifying strategies for improvement or innovation in the integration of technology for instruction
Assisting faculty development of instructional materials and learning experiences including documents, iCollege applications, and multimedia
Helping faculty assess the feasibility of converting your traditional course to an online course
Consulting on face-to-face, online, and hybrid course design and best practices
Developing specialty, custom trainings for departments or small groups
