The TechTA program is funded by the administration to help faculty with the additional technology requirements of teaching in dual-delivery and/or recording of classes. They recognize that this can be a huge burden for faculty and negatively impact the ability to deliver classroom instruction.
Learning Environments trains and manages TechTAs (undergraduate students) to provide this live, in-person assistance with Zoom, classroom equipment, Canvas, and other instructional tools.
(Please note: Support for Jones School courses are provided by the Jones School. Please contact jgsav@rice.edu to inquire about support options.)
Following our format from past semesters, we are currently offering the following options:
1. Entire semester: TechTAs are assigned to your class for the whole semester
2. Beginning of semester: TechTAs assist with your class for the first few weeks (or first several meetings)
3. As-needed basis: TechTA support is available on request for specific class meetings (can be requested at any point during the semester)
