If you or your group has content hosted on our UTwired server (i.e. 'utwired' is in your website address) please be advised that it will migrated to a centrally hosted server in the coming weeks. This move is part of a larger initiative to greatly reduce IT infrastructure costs within the Cockrell School.

This migration should result in minimum service disruption. If you are a content owner someone from the FIC will be contacting you in the next several weeks to ensure a smooth transition.

If you are unsure or have any questions don't hesitate to contact Matt Mangum: mat-man[at]mail.utexas.edu | 232-1534

With the Fall semester quickly approaching, think about increasing student interaction and feedback by incorporating the iClicker Classroom Response System into your lessons.

The system consists of a base transmitter and remote clickers that students purchase at the bookstore or online at about $39 (used clickers are often available for less than $25). There is no registration fee for the student, and they can use the clicker in multiple classes across campus. The instructor kit is priced at $200 and includes the base, flash drive with software, two instructor remotes and a USB cable. Instructors with estimated enrollments of 75 students or more qualify for a free instructor kit. The system also integrates with Blackboard for attendance, quizzing and grading.
