Program Overview

The goal of the program is to understand and act upon technology and support needs in UTA classrooms and conference rooms by providing accessible solutions for teaching, learning and meeting.​

Extensive research with faculty and staff, including an initial faculty survey (Fall 2021), focus groups with faculty (Fall 2021), technology-focused surveys for classroom and conference room needs (Spring 2022) and another set of focus groups (Spring 2022) were completed and analyzed by program team members. Two working groups of subject matter experts including faculty representatives from each college/school, UTA Libraries and Faculty Senate, as well as staff from across the university, are providing insight and guidance on technology needs to support effective teaching, learning and collaboration. 

Funds to purchase and install new hardware and systems in UTA classrooms and conference rooms will be provided through HEERF funding.​
