Introducing Faculty Websites

Example of a Faculty Website

Faculty Websites is a service provided by the Office of Information Technology in collaboration with the academic units. Our goal is to enable UCI Faculty to create a website for themselves or their research lab easily. We are using WordPress, the same technology that runs our Sites@UCI service.

We have customized the Faculty Websites service to make it quick and easy for faculty members to create a website using templates – sample pages ready to be edited. All content creation and editing is done through a web browser and requires no web-development experience. You can authorize other UCI people to help maintain your content.

To see if this service is right for you, read about the benefits and limitations. If you would like to request a website, click the “Request a Website” button on the Faculty Websites homepage.

Presentations by NACS staff covered the range of services NACS provides to faculty and staff. Presentations by staff from the Libraries, the Division of Undergraduate Education, and the Registrar’s office completed the program.

Faculty and presenters also had an opportunity to talk one on one regarding individual needs and opportunities for support.

Instructional Technology Seminar

by

FITI, the Faculty Instructional Technology Institute (formerly known as the Faculty Summer Institute) was held on June 25th-28th, 2001. The Institute is offered by the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) with instructional and funding assistance from NACS.

13 faculty and instructional staff representing 9 campus departments were given presentations on the use of instructional technology in the classroom. Skills developed included how to create and enhance course Web pages and Powerpoint presentations, and how to incorporate images and other electronic media into instructional materials.

FITI featured 3 days of training June 25th, 26th and 28th. June 27th was a practice day which gave faculty time to work on specific projects with consultants on hand. The new format was well received by this year’s participants.

Faculty from all academic disciplines are invited to apply for next year’s program. The Institute is designed for faculty and TAs who have little or no direct experience in developing and using instructional technology in their courses.
