The demand for access to high-end multi-media equipment, media production support and specialized technical assistance is escalating at UNCW. Faculty members at UNCW who are attempting to integrate instructional technology into their classroom instruction are demanding an organized response to providing networked audiovisual equipment. The Classroom Technology Assistance Plan was established in response to these needs as a means of assisting deans and department chairs with the initial cost and support of such equipment. The equipment configuration installed in classrooms is established by the Committee on A/V Media Services. The adopted standards are reviewed annually.
The Department of Client Technology Services in the Information Technology Systems Division is charged by the Vice Chancellor of Information Technology Systems with providing audiovisual and multi-media technology support services to the university community. In cooperation with the Division of Academic Affairs, the Center for Teaching Excellence, and the Division of Student Affairs, the department delivers a wide range of technologies and support services. Ensuring that the faculty has access to quality equipment, which is built into the network, is essential to the delivery of technology-enhanced instruction. The Classroom Technology Assistance Plan will enable UNCW to purchase, maintain, and install multi-media equipment far more efficiently.
