Training for Classroom Technology

Because the operation of the new equipment may be very different from the equipment you have used previously, ITS will be offering training sessions for the new classroom technology.   Please call ITS (x2050) or Media (x2131) to schedule training.   This training is strongly suggested before using the new technology.  As an alternative, a training session can be scheduled during an academic department meeting.  To take advantage of this option, department chairpersons can contact the Help Desk at extension 2050 or email techhelp@aquinas.edu with the department meeting date and time. 

T.A.P. is a Sustainable Business initiative to encourage faculty to reduce reliance on paper and to provide access to resources, i.e. CourseConnect and fewer handouts.
