ITS ETAC Background
ITS Educational Technology works closely with faculty, staff, and students
on teaching and learning technologies along with related methodologies. Five
years ago a strategic planning document related to Multimedia Storage, Production,
Conferencing, and Distribution (MSPCD) was approved. Most, if not all, of
the goals set forth in that document have been achieved at UNI. As the campus
continues to move forward in the deployment of tools and creation of learning
objects to support electronic delivery of learning content, it is crucial
that communications from faculty, staff, and students serve as a guiding
force and source of feedback. Good communication and feedback are key to
maintaining a focus on key issues, setting a path that aligns with needs,
and ensuring the allocation of proper resources.
To provide this, an ITS Educational Technology Advisory Council has been
formed to provide advice and recommendations to ITS Educational Technology
staff in these endeavors.
