2. Instructional and Research Technology Can I use videoconferencing to bring a guest lecturer into my class? Does our campus have smart classrooms on it? Is there anyone who can teach my students how to use SPSS? How do I set up a Sakai course? Can you help me write IT support into my next grant proposal? I just heard about podcasting at the last conference I attended. What podcast support is there at Rutgers? Can I put my new lab instrument on the network? How do I import a VHS film clip into my Powerpoint presentation?
