Learning Technologies is a division of Information Technology. Its mission is to, "provide a teaching and learning infrastructure that meets modern needs for integrating technology across content areas." To accomplish these ends, the division develops faculty training programs, runs course software servers, develops original software such as the legacy course evaluation system, runs computer labs such as those in Torgersen Hall, and performs numerous other functions.

Programs and Services

Center for Innovation in Learning and XCaliber Award

The Center for Innovation in Learning or CIL is responsible for the XCaliber Award. The XCaliber Award is meant to recognize excellence in technology use in the classroom and within projects.

Online Course Evaluation

As of 2009-2010, the "legacy" online course evaluation system is still in use on a departmental basis. A new Sakai course evaluation tool will eventually be integrated into Scholar.

Online Course Systems

Online Course Systems is the unit responsible for running Scholar.

Testing and Data Services

Testing and Data Services is the group in charge of op-scan test evaluation and reporting.
