About the Faculty Center for eLearning 

For some time Sam Levy, Vice President of Information, Resources and Technologies, envisioned a place for faculty to gather, converse and exchange ideas to improve instructional practice and research activities.  To that end, IRT developed the Faculty Center for eLearning (FCL).

The Faculty Center for e-Learning (FCL) provides programming, physical and virtual space designed for the exchange of ideas, conversation and the building of community – all with the goal of developing effective collaborations between and among faculty and IRT staff to promote effective learning and academic excellence. We will create a variety of interactions (face-to-face and virtual) designed to inspire faculty to imagine, experience and apply various instructional strategies utilizing technology to improve instruction and research.

The physical space is located in the O’Shaughnessy Frey Library, Room 102. It is fitted with new, modular furniture and technology to accommodate a variety of needs. The room will be used to host the various FCL events including: workshops, guest speakers, faculty presentations and simply conversation.
