The Faculty Center for Professional Excellence at Adelphi University was founded in 1999. It started as a faculty led initiative to
provide full-time professors with information technology. Seven years later the center is a vital part in the promotion of
new technologies, pedagogies and professional development for faculty. Four
full-time technologists and six student educational
technologist staff the center. Blended and online teaching, podcasting, media production, plagiarism
prevention and detection, video conferencing, and the shift in pedagogy resulting with the use of technology in the classroom, are
just some of the areas in which we specialize.
Full-time and part-time faculty are welcome to take advantage of our many services. We work closely with the Office
for Information Technology and Resources to ensure compatibility and smooth operation of instructional technology on campus.
