Programs
Throughout the year, ECIT hosts a series of informative discussions, presentations and workshops teaching faculty and researchers how to incorporate instructional technologies into their work. Program subjects cover a variety of topics, ranging from "the appropriate use of technology in teaching" to "how to create and edit digital video." All ECIT programs are designed to build Emory's digital literacy and address the effective use of instructional technologies into teaching and learning.
Emory faculty and graduate
students are invited to attend all seminars, workshops and sessions.
Current programs include: Emory College
Online (ECO); Technology, Pedagogy
and Curriculum (TPC); and ECIT FIRST (Fellowships in Research and Science
Teaching). ECIT has also been a key participant in Emory's University Technology
Service's (UTS) EduCATE (an Educational Conference on Academic Technology
at Emory) Program.

ECIT facilities include three "Smart" classrooms and a consultation space called the Teaching Theatre. Other amenities include computer workstations, projection systems, videoconferencing, interactive displays and re-configurable furniture.
