Overview

What are Technology Intensive Courses?

The Technology Intensive Course project is a UH-wide, federally funded grant program aimed at integrating technology into courses at all UH campuses, in all subject areas.  The fundamental characteristic of a Technology Intensive (TI) course is that both the instructor and their students actively use technology.  TI courses when offered throughout the UH curriculum will give students the chance to use technology in a variety of contexts, making them more comfortable and skilled using technology.

Why do Technology Intensive?

For your students! In today’s technology rich world our students should be able to use digital electronic technologies as effortlessly as pen and paper.  Giving your students technology experiences within your field is one way to provide practice with technology in a variety of content areas.  Your subject area matters!  Integrating technology into your course may help students see your subject AND technology in a new way.

What is in it for you?

Support Your campus TI facilitator is available to meet one-on-one with you to help with your individual technology needs.  If you’re already using technology or just getting started, your campus TI facilitator can help both you and your students.
