Resources for Instructors

Our primary resource for instructors is our Instructor Guide, which contains information on Moodle, file storage, streaming media, and more. We will provide information on additional GSLIS-supported resources as they are added.

Campus-wide Resources

A number of technological and pedagogical resources are available for instructors at the higher campus level. The following are places to go for more information on teaching tools, training sessions, and other options for development.

Administrative Support

  • DRES
    DRES provides services and support for individuals with disabilities.  Their services are summarized in the Disability Resource Guide
  • Enterprise (Banner)
  • Banner provides access to registration (for students), rosters (for instructors), and final grades.
  • Evaluation Online (EON)
  • EON is the online equivalent of the paper ICES forms used in on-campus classes for end-of-term evaluation. This site allows you to set up your EON form (available for both online and on-campus classes), as well as check the results of your EON evaluation from previous semesters.
  • FERPA
  • The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act governs the disclosure of private student information.  Anyone who has access to student data is required to complete FERPA training.
  • Graduate College
  • The Graduate College provides policy resources for faculty and staff, as well as professional development for students.  Key policies, including academic integrity, are summarized in the Graduate College Handbook.
  • ICES Online
  • ICES Online is a pilot web-based evaluation system. This will soon replace EON.

Computing Resources

  • CITES, the larger technology services department at UIUC, supports a variety of instructional resources in addition to managing campus-wide accounts and passwords.
  • Security resources and training are provided by CITES.
  • CITES Express Mail provides email accounts for all members of UIUC.
  • Additional file storage is available through Netfiles, also supported by CITES.  Your Netfiles account must be set up, and expires after you leave UIUC (30 days for staff, 3 months for graduating students).

Library Resources

  • LIS Library
  • GSLIS has a close relationship with the LIS Library, located at 306 Main Library.
  • E-Reserves
  • Managed by the LIS Library, e-reserves allow your students to access reserve materials from outside the library.  Your students will access E-Reserves from a campus-wide listing.
  • Reserve Services
  • The Library'’s Reserve Services Web page now includes current turnaround time for reserve processing for each of three formats (print, electronic and media), along with other pertinent information regarding reserves. The Web page will be updated every business day morning.
  • Instructional Services for Faculty and TAs
  • The Main Library provides a number of services for new and experienced faculty members

Professional Development

    Training and information on educational technologies supported at the campus level
  • CITES Teaching Software
    Includes Illinois Compass and other enterprise level software supported by CITES
  • Teaching Software - Utilities
