If you are considering how to better incorporate technology (e.g., clickers, Panopto) or d2l into your class, the OIA is your first stop. They also provide resources and support for instructors as they develop their instructional design, online courses, classroom assessment, instructional strategies, and course-specific technologies and tools.
