Online Course Environment Support

WebCT : The CTL provides development and technical support for faculty who wish to have a web presence for their course(s). The College has recently adopted WebCT 4.1CE which will be available to all faculty in Fall 2006. WebCT is an online course management system that provides file exchange, course content, communication, and archiving tools for faculty and students. For more information about WebCT, contact the WebCT administrator Keeta Martin x6294.

The CTL also provides development and technical support for faculty who wish to build their own course websites using DreamWeaver. We will help the faculty member design a site, learn to post materials, password protect materials, and develop materials for display on the website.

Curriculum Development

The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) offers a variety of services to faculty to assist in curriculum development, materials creation, classroom support, and online course development.

Duplication and Digitizing Services: Faculty can bring materials to the CTL that they would like to have digitized or duplicated: documents, images (slides, negatives, photos), videos, or audio. The CTL can turn those materials into any format you need for use in PowerPoint, DVD player, or whatever you need. Stop by the CTL office to discuss your project, and we can let you know how long the project will take to complete.

Printing: All print jobs requiring special handling should be directed to Centre Document Services. The CTL, though, is the only place on campus to print large format posters for conferences or instructional use. Because of the cost of ink and paper, the CTL will not print any materials for use outside of class or research.

CTL Services Detail

Media Production is provided for the faculty and staff of the College as it relates to projects supporting Centre College 's mission. Only materials directly related to courses and departmental needs will be scanned, duplicated, copied, or printed; the CTL will NOT print, scan, copy, or duplicate any personal materials. You must obtain and prove that you have copyright permission to duplicate any material you submit to the CTL before any work will begin** (no exceptions).

All services will be performed free-of-charge, however you will need to bring in the disks that the files will be stored on. Otherwise, your department/program/division will be charged only for our cost for the materials you request.

Classroom Support

Classroom Information: Please visit our CTL Classroom information page to find out details about how each room is equipped, whether it is a technology classroom or a standard classroom. Please call the CTL office, if you need us to deliver any equipment, such as overhead projectors or slide projectors, to your classroom.

Purchasing Instructional Films/Media: The CTL has set aside $6000 for the purchase of instructional films and other media in support of the academic program. If you need a film that is not currently in our collection, please send your request to Crystal Wesley in the library. Your request will be forwarded to your division chair and reviewed by CTL staff. If money is available for your request and if approved, the library will order your film/media and put it in the library's holdings, available for your check-out, when needed. The film collection on DVD is currently available in the library (and can be searched via the library's online catalog). The film collection on VHS tape is still housed in the CTL and will be made available to the online catalog in the next year.

Room and Equipment Reservations: The CTL is now responsible for the reservations of all classrooms and classroom equipment (laptops, projectors, cameras, camcorders, slide projectors, and overheads). Visit the CTL website to reserve the room or equipment you'd like to use: http://ctl.centre.edu

Technology Cart and A/V Cart Delivery and Setup: If your class is not scheduled in a room with a mounted projector, you can reserve one of four technology carts available in all academic buildings on campus: Grant, Young, Olin, and Crounse. Each of these technology carts is equipped with a computer, projector, VCR, and speakers. All carts, except for the Olin cart, have a computer monitor.
