Academic Technologies is focused on the teaching and learning side of IT.
We
work closely with faculty and students on projects related to teaching
and learning. The Academic Technologies unit is responsible for
functions such as computer labs, classrooms, lecture capture, student
technology support, instructional design, learning platforms, and
exploring and developing technologies that enhance online and
technology-enriched courses. The unit is divided into the following
