FIELD ASSIGNMENT 1
UVA’s Arts & Sciences Center for Instructional Technologies
The Arts & Sciences Center for Instructional Technologies (ASCIT), in collaboration with the Instructional Technology Group of ITC, provides technical and instructional technology support for the College of Arts and Sciences. Primarily, the ASCIT staff assists faculty members with technical support, as well as provides innovative classroom instruction solutions. A second service the staff provides is equipment loans. Third, they oversee the Language Laboratory.
The technical services consist of consultation of one-on-one and small groups, technology use training and presentations to faculty members and teaching assistants. These services include support web-based tools designed for both instructors and students for course material management, sharing of work, and web-based resource creation. This web-based tool is an on-line community where activities are posted, and students and receive feedback on essays, exercises, quizzes and tests.
The Language Lab is the feature of the ASCIT that I am most interested in. Presently, all the major languages being offered are provided in the lab. Unfortunately, Arabic is the exception. Since the Language Lab is the center for technology-enhanced learning in second-language learning, it would serve students best if an Arabic program is included. This is where I come in. I have spoken to the professor and lab section assistant of Arabic. I hope to assist in the formulation of an Arabic program with in the Language Lab.
