Instructional Software Support
Helping faculty incorporate technology into the teaching and learning process across all disciplines within Indiana State is one of the goals of CIRT. CIRT provides assistance with integrating technology into instruction by offering training, documentation, and pilot programs for new technologies.
Current Instructional Technologies
- Blackboard
- Adobe Connect (Breeze) - a Adobe tool for creating remote presentations and training material complete with polling, videoconferencing, application sharing, and interactive chat over the Internet using FlashPlayer from most Web browsers.
- Hot Potatoes – a software suite that allows instructors to quickly and easily create interactive gap-fill, crossword, matching/ordering and jumbled-sentence, exercises for the Web.
- PRS - an interactive, personal response system that allows for instant feedback to the instructor from student-held transmitters.
- Quandary - software used to create Web-based Action Mazes consisting of decision points and options that the learner can select. These can be used for problem-solving, diagnosis, and procedural training.
- Technology-enhanced Classrooms - electronically enhanced lecture halls and classrooms. Classroom documentation and training are provided by CIRT.
In addition, a "digital sandbox" where faculty can play with instructional media is provided in the
CIRT office on the third floor of Normal Hall. The digital sandbox contains both PCs and Macintosh computers
with the newest hardware and software.
To schedule “play” time in the digital sandbox or learn more about instructional technologies at ISU,
