UC Learning Services

Available to assist you in navigating through the logistics of teaching courses via technology is University College’s Learning Services team. Our staff is available to answer your questions, explain policies and procedures, and address your concerns.

Prior to each semester you will receive an e-mail outlining the steps you need to take to prepare for your course. UC Learning Services is the clearinghouse for course materials including textbooks, syllabi and coursepacks, class handouts and exams, as well as graded materials you wish to return to students.

We also coordinate orientations for faculty new to ITV, videoconference or online teaching and learning.

Lastly, if you wish to incorporate real-time group discussions into your ITV or online class, please contact UC Learning Services well in advance of the semester to reserve the multi-link phone bridge, a 26-line telephone conferencing system available on a first come, first served basis.

UC Learning Services is a one-stop information center for students taking courses at a distance. Accessible through a toll-free number (1-800-868-7000) and e-mail: ucls@maine.edu.

UC Learning Services can help students:

• register and pay for courses;
• access online courses and obtain necessary course materials; and
• connect with a student services coordinator in his/her region to discuss degree, course or career options.

At your request, they can:

• provide you with up-to-date enrollment data;
• contact your online students who don’t attend classes after the first week to determine if they plan to drop the course or have technical or other problems getting started;
• mail letters of introduction to students, including special instructions from you.
