Center for Academic Technology

The Center for Academic Technology empowers faculty by providing knowledge, direction, and tools to enrich their curriculum with technology-appropriate pedagogy. We partner with faculty to seek out and integrate appropriate technologies. We collaborate with faculty in designing the technology components of a wide range of learning experiences. We assist faculty in making a comfortable transition to the effective use of these technologies, through training for faculty and/or their students and one-on-one consultations.

Labs Instructional ResourcesWe also distribute a variety of media, help to manage the mediated classrooms, some mediation delivery, and public computer labs on campus to ensure that faculty and students have the technology they need for teaching and learning.
