The major purpose of instructional computing is to assist faculty to integrate technology into their instruction. This will be accomplished by introducing faculty to new technologies, providing instructional design support to faculty redesigning courses in a way that ensures consistently high quality products, providing opportunities for faculty to experiment with various technology-supported modes of delivery for learner-centered education.

The objectives of instructional computing are:

  • Provide at least 4 workshops on technology integration
  • Maintain a Faculty Development Laboratory in Adams Hall Room 202
  • Loan computers, LCD projectors and other technology to faculty
