Welcome to Aimee Brown-Shadduck
We are very pleased to announce that Aimee (“Aim”) has joined the College as a Multimedia Specialist with the Learning Design team. She will assist with the support of the IST Online courses delivered via World Campus as well as support of Resident Instruction sections and educational technology tools including Canvas. Aim joins us from her position as a Programming and Education Coordinator for the Penn State All-Sports Museum. During her time there, she built programs, trainings, social media, and educational materials including videos and live streams. Please join us in welcoming Aim at asb193@psu.edu.
Tool Tip
We created a video that shows how your course Zoom recordings should automatically be available to your students under Media Gallery. If you have a meeting set up through Zoom where the recordings are not correctly automatically moved to the Media Gallery, then one way to resolve is to create a new Zoom meeting. For further questions contact ITservicedesk@psu.edu.
TLT Sessions
Faculty are invited to join Teaching and Learning with Technology (TLT) for sessions focusing on timely topics. Each session dates and links to register are below:
Time Management Strategies for the Busy Engaging Instructor

Request World Campus Course Templates
If you are teaching a Resident Instruction (RI) version of a College of IST course, you can request a copy of the World Campus (WC) course template for that course. Many of the courses that run in residence have an online WC version, and while the format is different from the RI section, you may find useful elements that you can utilize in your course.
