Welcome to Seton Hall University!
As a member of the Seton Hall faculty, you are entering a technology rich environment with a focus on incorporating the effective use of technology into teaching and learning. As such, the Department of Information Technology provides the tools, resources, and support services needed to assist faculty with investigating, developing, and incorporating new and effective means of merging the use of technology with teaching and learning.
All of these tools, resources and support services are at your disposal. The key is to figure out what they are and how to take advantage of them.

Faculty Resources
The Teaching, Learning and Technology (TLT)Center invests a lot of resources into researching, testing and developing instructional technologies to be made available for faculty in the support of using technology to enhance teaching and learning.

Research and Grant Opportunities
The TLT Center promotes and encourages the innovative application of existing technologies as well as the investigation of new instructional technologies. This is done through an internal grant process which awards funding and support of such endeavors. Two such grant opportunities are the Curriculum Development Initiative (CDI) and the Faculty Innovation Grants (FIGS). To view additional granting opportunities, please click here.
Faculty Development
The TLT Center hosts a variety of workshops for faculty held throughout the year on a broad range of educational technology topics. During the summer months the TLT Center hosts its annual “Summer Series” dedicating a day each week to the investigation of new and emerging technologies as well as core technologies such as Blackboard. In addition to these summer events, workshops are held throughout the academic year and range from intensive hands-on sessions to special topic presentations. To view a list of events as well as computer training opportunities offered at the TLT Center visit http://tltc.shu.edu/register.
Software Training Opportunities
In addition to the faculty development opportunities, the TLT Center also houses the Computer Training Classroom (CTC) which provides on-site training throughout the year on any of the university standard software applications. To view training opportunities, please visit the Computer Training Center. To view the current schedule of classes or to register for a class, please view the

TLTC - Putting Innovation into Practice
In addition to providing support for innovation in teaching and learning, the TLTC is putting the innovation to use.
The ePirate Blog is used by the TLT Center as a communication tool to provide updates, make announcements, and disseminate other useful information. Check out the ePirate Blog at http://tltc.shu.edu/blogs/projects/epirate/.
