Faculty Resources

The University of Maine at Fort Kent Web Services staff is available to assist you with developing your online course. First time instructors should plan on adequate preparation time and will want to schedule several visits with support staff to review technology, multimedia options and even text book selection. Proper preparation requires more than simply placing on the internet, lecture notes that you would normally present in class.
