ITAC Newsletter

Spring 2005
 
 

  WELCOME!

From Wendy Shapiro ...

Welcome to the premiere issue of ITAC's (Instructional Technology & Academic Computing) newsletter. Many of you already know us, but for those who don't, ITAC is here to support faculty interested in integrating technology into teaching and learning.

Our newsletter is unique in that it will always be on-line and when possible we will illuminate articles with streaming video. In our first issue we showcase MediaVision Courseware, Blackboard Training, and our Student Technology Consultant (STC) program. In addition, you'll meet some of our staff and find our “what's new”.

So - enjoy the newsletter and feel free to send us your comments.

   Director of ITAC
