Following is a list of things BruinTechs should know and share with others:
1. IT Support Center Office Hours Update

2. Classroom Technology Upgrade Project Information Sessions
As part of the Classroom Technology Upgrade Project, IT Services is hosting two post DTen Implementation Listening Sessions to discuss the distribution of units, determine additional resource needs, and capture lessons learned for future deployments. Registration is now open for the April 5 and April 7 DTen listening sessions. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the meeting.
3. Next week’s Usability Office Hours: Improving Accessibility and User Experience is postponed until 4/12/2023
Held every other Wednesday from 11:00a to 12:00noon, these meetings are a joint venture between the Disability Computing Program (DCP), and BruinTech (BT). Hosted by Travis Lee (DCP), and Matthew Geddert (BT).
4. The Educational Technology Collaborative (ETC) 2023 Annual Conference is coming to the University of Southern California (USC) in September
Proposals are due by Monday, April 3rd.
"The mission of ETC is to provide leadership and a forum for information exchange to the providers of media content, academic technology, and support for quality teaching and learning at institutions of higher education. Click here to learn more about ETC's mission."
This year's call for proposals asks you to think about emerging technology - the Ed Tech design landscape is changing faster than ever before! Many faculty, who were hesitant to use technology have been required to use technology they were previously intimidated by. They are now confidently incorporating the use of technology in their curriculum and the classroom design now has to be more fluid with the ever growing and changing needs of the faculty. What emerging technology, services and practices have you implemented over the past few years? How have they made your role in higher ed technology easier? We'd love for you to share it with us, and possibly earn a spot on the agenda for this year's Annual Conference. Submissions due April 3rd. We look forward to seeing everyone in Los Angeles, CA!
5. Can’t decide what to do this 3-day weekend? The Los Angeles Public Library has amazing programs, exhibits, and events, open to the public, and free!
