Incentive programs
At CIT, the ~FAST Tex program supports a resource pool of technology-literate students to help faculty incorporate new media and collaborative components in teaching and learning, and IITAP annually offers cash awards to faculty for exemplary instructional technology projects. Find out more about these and other incentive programs at UT.

Classroom Response Systems
CIT researches and benchmarks emerging classroom response systems to support engaging and effective teaching throughout UT Austin. Using remote control-like devices, students answer multiple-choice questions throughout lectures, providing both an interactive learning environment and immediate feedback to the professor regarding student lesson comprehension.

Courseware
University-wide, UT provides the Blackboard courseware tool to build and serve Web course components. In addition, some individual colleges provide other courseware products suited to their needs. Learn more about how these tools work and what support services the University provides for them.

Training
The Center offers courseware training, workshops on Web and multimedia topics, custom instruction for the classroom, online tutorials, and links to other UT training resources.

Credit courses
CIT staff members teach or participate in several semester-long for-credit courses offered through the College of Liberal Art's Technology, Literacy, and Culture program, the School of Information, the College of Education, and the College of Natural Sciences.
