The Technology Assisted Curriculum Center exists to support the efforts of University of Utah faculty members to integrate various technologies and information navigation skills into their curriculum for the enhancement of quality teaching and learning.
Our mission is to provide faculty members with a wide, up-to-date, and user-friendly spectrum of digital services and resources.
The TAC Center is conveniently located in the Marriott Library to provide the information resources and services necessary for effective faculty curriculum development.
We encourage all faculty members--ranging from the computer novice to the expert in developing fully asynchronous courses--to participate actively in an environment conducive to collaboration, experimentation, exploration, and innovation in education.
We respect the differences in experience and teaching strategies of the faculty we serve.
We hope that flexible teaching strategies and methods of delivery encourage the understanding and learning styles of diverse and unique individuals.
We believe that education should foster skeptical, lifelong, and interactive learning through continuous reflective inquiry.
We appreciate criticism, creativity, conflict, cooperation, and collaboration.
We understand that the dynamic relationship between technological change and social transformation entails moral and political choices and responsibilities.
We assume that the gap between the information-rich and information-poor is a fundamental impediment to democratic learning practices and institutions.
