RESOURCES
Here at the UNM-Valencia Campus Teaching & Learning Center we offer many resources to our staff and faculty. Please drop by our center and see what the Teaching & Learning Center can do for you!
Workshops- We train staff and faculty with a variety of workshops that pertain to teaching and learning purposes. Some example workshops include, computer software, Microsoft Office, Audio and Visual Equipment, and Classroom Management. To view available workshops click here. We offer them on different times and days throughout the semester, call ahead of time or view our Calendar of Events to see when we will be offering them.
Quia Games- Able to create fun activities online so students can access material easy, and have a fun time studying for a test. This works great with Vocabulary and Key Terms and anything else you might use flash cards for. To see a example of the Quia Games, check out the ones we have already completed for different areas of study at www.unm.edu/~vcgames or go to their main web site at www.quia.com. All you have to do is bring the material you want covered to us and one of our student employees will get right on it to create fun and exciting games that help students study.
Specialized Equipment- We checkout specialized equipment that the staff and faculty can obtain anytime they need to. A few examples include portable laptop computers that are great for traveling or on the go and portable projectors that are great for giving demonstrations or providing visual data in a meeting. We also have high quality digital cameras, notebook cases, television sets along with DVD and VHS players. To view all of our available items for checkout click here.
Troubleshooting- We are great at troubleshooting any problem you might have and will be eager to fix it. Come by our office or call us and we'll find you a pleasing solution to your problem.
VHS/DVD Converter- Are you tired of having to rewind that old Video Cassette? We are able to convert VHS's to DVD'S or vice versa so the staff and faculty can have a simpler way of instructing or working on a project. It only takes about as long as the Video or DVD is and we will get it out to you as soon as possible. Let us know if you need any conversions of any other format as well.
Library- We have a small library of books that are designed to help staff and faculty with learning purposes in almost every subject: Anywhere from classroom management and psychology of learning to helpful writing techniques and better student performance.

Scanning- We are able to scan documents for all staff and faculty. If you have an old picture or book you would like to save onto the computer come by.
CD/DVD's Copier- We're able to create numerous copies of CD's/DVD's for you anytime you need. We have specialized equipment that make it easy to create up to 25 CD's at once.
Recording Programs on TV- If you know that there is a great documentation or show that will be useful to learning new material be sure to let us know. We are able to record it for you and edit out all commercials. Just provide us with the local date, local time and channel the program will be on and we will do the rest.

Slide converter- We have a Nikon CoolScan V-ED that converts old slides to JPEGS. If you're tired of your old slides come by and transfer them all to one disk that makes them simple to use and easy to carry. The Cool Scan Converter doesn't distort your slides in any way and makes audience viewing much more enjoyable.
