DoIT to Host Techfest in Spring 2016 Semester

Share your favorite technology with the UMBC community

Techfest is an effort to bring together UMBC students, faculty, and staff to share their favorite technologies with the UMBC community through several workshops. Participants will be able to choose which workshops they want to sign up for and all are encouraged to sign up and present a workshop at the event. 

The Instructional Technology Team would like to know what sessions you would be interested in attending. For this survey, your name will be kept completely anonymous.
