The CIS Academic Services Gateway provides the Brown teaching community with centralized access to technology services that can be used to enhance the classroom experience.

  upload your syllabus for students to preview
  request instructional tools
  keep track of your requests

I'm ready to use the Gateway. Take me there now.

Getting Started with:

iClickers
   -Are handheld radio-frequency response devices that allow anonymous and specific polling and question-and-answer sessions in the classroom.

MyCourses
   -A web-based course management system provides an easy to use interface to facilitate putting your course content online. It is a password-protected online classroom environment where you and your students can meet.

Wikis
   -A Wiki can be thought of as a combination of a Web site and a Word document. Its real power lies in the fact that groups can collaboratively work on the content of the site using nothing but a standard web browser.

iTunes at Brown (iT@B)
   -Allows instructors to create iTunes U course sites on a Apple- hosted server

Whether you want to collaborate on a writing assignment, incorporate audio/video into your MyCourses site or get immediate feedback from your students, we can provide you with the right tool, but more importantly, the right reason to use the tool!
We encourage you to utilize the Gateway to upload a syllabus, edit your Course Preview Page and keep track of all of your service requests.

View our grouping of Instructional Scenarios to determine what tool can be used effectively for your teaching.

The Gateway pages are designed to always provide you with a point of contact should any questions or problems arise. If you need help at any time, either refer to the Help link at the top right of the page or contact ITG directly using the link in the left navigation.

On the main Gateway page you will also see the contact information of your Instructional Technologist, your Librarian and your DCC (Department Computing Coordinator).
