Who We Are

The Educational Technology Department (EdTech) supports faculty and instructional staff with their instructional design and delivery, video and audio media production, and content management.  We are committed to finding, testing, implementing, and integrating innovative learning tools and technologies that:

  • Enhance your teaching,
  • Increase student engagement,
  • Improve feedback, collaboration, and co-creation—both with students and colleagues, and
  • Provide better—and more accessible—visual, audio, interactive, and blended learning experiences.

We help you use the latest learning tools and technologies to deliver compelling content, design engaging learning activities, and more effectively assess your students. We provide learning technology support, regularly scheduled workshops, and one-on-one consultations. In collaboration with IT, we can also coordinate pilots of educational technologies, advise on the adoption of classroom technologies, and set up specific training for your department or other group.
