- Sloan-C College Pass Online Courses: The Sloan Consortium is committed to helping individuals create quality online educational materials. They offer free, online mini-courses to UNT faculty. You can work in these courses at your own pace.
- Turnitin Faculty and Student Training: We offer training to faculty and students in Turnitin, an online tool that helps faculty prevent plagiarism by providing a format in which students can submit papers to be compared against multiple online resources. Faculty can then view the results for any comparable submissions and make a judgement on whether the student has plagiarized.
- Wimba Live Classroom: If this is your first time to use Wimba Live Classroom, run the setup wizard prior to participating in brown bag events.
