> Academic Initiatives: Instructional Technology
UMass Professors recently demonstrated the Personal Response System
to the Board of Trustees, as highlighted in the May
5, 2004 Daily Hampshire Gazette.
Instructional Technology Services
Instructional Technology is any technology which directly supports
teaching and learning. It includes the use of computers, the Internet
and other forms of information technology, as well as the more traditional
forms of technology such as overhead, slide, and movie projectors. Like
most large universities, instructional technology on the Amherst Campus
is provided by a number of different administrative units. Together,
these units provide a comprehensive set of instructional technology
services which can meet most faculty needs.
