Following is a list of services that FCS offers to instructors at Hofstra.

 
Training
 


FCS Staff members are available to train you how to use a wide variety of computer programs, electronics, and other teaching tools.
Please click here for more information about Training.

Blackboard
 


Blackboard is a powerful tool for organizing your course materials and increasing communication between your and your students. And it's easy to use!
Please click here for more information about Blackboard.

Classroom Technical Support
 


We are here to help with any issues you have while teaching in a technology-enhanced classroom.
Please click here for more information about Classroom Technical Support.

Faculty Support Center
 


The Faculty Support Center (215 McEwen Hall) is the home of FCS. Stop by for specific help, or for some new ideas!
Please click here for more information about the Faculty Support Center.

Dionne Teaching & Learning Center
 


A fully computerized teaching lab (216 McEwen Hall) is available for your use if you'd like to teach just one or two sessions in a computer classroom.
Please click here for more information about the Dionne Teaching and Learning Center.

Scanning & Digitizing
 


We can scan your text documents, photos and slides, and also help you prepare them for print or for posting on a website. And if you have audio or video recordings, we can help you duplicate them or convert them to computer files for editing and distribution to your students and colleagues.
Please click here for more information about Scanning & Digitizing.

Opscan Scoring & Survey Development
 


If you use or would like to use Opscan 'bubble sheets' for multiple choice testing or surveys in your courses, we can process the statistics for you! We can also help you develop surveys for courses and academic research.
Please click here for more information about Opscan Scoring & Survey Development.

Assistance with Faculty & Course Websites
 


Let us help you set up a website to reach out to your students and the world. If you're currently teaching, using Blackboard is probably the easiest way to get started. If you want to post a website for the world to access, that will go on Hofstra's People server.
Please contact us for help with that.

Development of Learning Objects
 


The possibilities are endless when you incorporate technology into your courses. We can help you develop customized media materials and 'learning objects' to enhance your students' comprehension of challenging course material.
Please click here for more information about Learning Objects.

Discipline-specific instructional technology
 


FCS Staff are here to help you explore the universe of instructional technology. We can find solutions for specific projects or present a menu of what's currently available for your discipline or department.
Please click here for more information about field-specific tools.

Software Ordering
 


That's Purchase Consulting, see below.

Purchase Consulting
 


Don't go shopping alone! FCS staff want to help you get the best computer equipment and software for the best price. Let's talk about all your options.
Please click here for more information about Purchase Consulting.

HofBiblio and HofPrints


FCS can help you post your research bibliography into HofBiblio, the University's bibliographic database for all Hofstra faculty. We can also help you put preprints, conference presentations, or other ephemeral research material into HofPrints, the University's institutional repository.
Just give us a call.

Equipment Loans
 


If you need to use a digital video or still camera to prepare materials for a class, you can sign one out from FCS.
Please click here for more information about Equipment Loans.
