Instructional Technology Toolkit

In the Malone Center Instructional Technology Falcon Learn course, you will find many instructional technologies to add to your “technology toolkit.”  The technologies are categorized by instructional use – classroom technologies, student collaboration and discussion tools, tools for delivering course content, discipline-specific tools, tools for assessing student learning, game-based learning, and time-saving tools. Within each category, you will find a list of tools, a short description of each tool, and a step-by-step help sheet for using the tool.

For access to the Falcon Learn page, please contact Lisa Brown at brownl@montevallo.edu.

The Malone Center staff would be happy to sit down with you and help you select the best tool to fit your needs and/or help you adapt a tool for your course. Contact us today!

Technology Support Policy

The Malone Center staff is pleased to assist University faculty in identifying, adapting, and adopting technologies to support their instructional goals. However, with the rapidly expanding array of instructional technologies that are available and in keeping with evidence-based best practices, we focus our efforts on technologies with the greatest potential for positively impacting student learning and our campus community as a whole. This includes:

• Canvas (UM’s learning management system);
• Other institutionally licensed software such as OneDrive (UM’s file storage and sharing platform) and Teams (UM’s web conferencing and synchronous distance education platform);
• Standard classroom technology;
• Malone Center equipment available for faculty checkout;
• Instructional technologies included in the Malone Center’s Instructional Technology Toolkit.

At this time, we cannot support any individually licensed technologies such as book publishers’ learning platforms. If you are interested in adopting such a tool, we encourage you to review  IS&T’s Policies webpage. You may also wish to contact a member of the company’s customer support team for questions regarding course use and pedagogical strategies.
