Tutorials and Guides

This section presents a collection of local and Internet resources focused on using technology to assist faculty in managing many teaching and learning processes, from course planning to assessment grading and all points in between. Several of the tools described here are specific to UCF.

New instructors may wish to take particular note of how to download the class roster and print photos of your students, as well as the digital control panel in the classrooms and our grade posting system, myUCF Grades.

For all of these tools, additional help is available via a phone call (407-823-3544) or a trip to the Faculty Center (CL1-207).

I am certain all educators think strongly about the kind of ...
