Academic Technology
With technology playing an ever-increasing role in higher education, many instructors are recognizing the need to stay ahead of the curve. However, all too often instructors find themselves saddled with the responsibilities of maintaining traditional courses, conducting research, and getting published--leaving little time to produce a meaningful online presence.
In partnership with the Learning Technology Center (LTC), our Academic Technology team works with faculty to enhance online instruction. Pedagogical guidance from the LTC identifies and eliminates potential hurdles, allowing instructors to concentrate on the production of digital course-related materials courtesy of LSITO.
