Who We Are...
The Instructional Technology Services (ITS) in the Office of Information Technology is in place to support the academic mission of the University in the use of educational technology and online learning. With that in mind, we prioritize providing:
- Equipment
- Training Services
- Instructional Design
- Consultation for WebCT
- Distance Learning Support
Our second priority is to serve the University community, including administrative units and other entities in the college.
We serve University personnel and are stewards of University resources. As servants, we will assist and lead faculty in their roles as educators in the areas of educational technology and online learning in fulfilling our primary mission to enhance academic outcomes. As stewards, we are responsible for maintaining equipment and facilities, providing the best possible, sustainable environment for successful learning at the University. This means that we will coordinate the resources we are responsible for in way in which everyone gets the best possible results.
