Welcome to the IDEA Studio wiki. The IDEA Studio provides technology integration support to faculty in the College of Education at The University of Texas at Austin. Members of our expert staff, most of whom are currently pursuing advanced degrees in curriculum and instruction, provide services ranging from drop-in help, to consulting on curriculum planning that integrates technology, to spearheading College instructional technology initiatives and collaborating with faculty on research projects. We are also the unit in the Learning Technology Center in charge of delivering curriculum-related technology training to classes in the College of Education.
