From the Director's Desk

The top priority of Information Technology is to support teaching and learning as well as all the administrative activities at UW Tacoma. We continue to provide a technical infrastructure and a technology environment to enable faculty, staff and students to fully engage in interdisciplinary and innovative teaching and scholarship on our campus.

To ensure operational excellence and exceptional customer service, we consult work with a diverse group of instructors in our campus on an on-going basis. We offer podcasting and video casting (vodcasting) service to some courses that students can review the classes through out the quarter. We have interviewed a number of faculty members and put together a "Faculty Mentoring Web Page" introducing some of the innovative technology uses to our teaching colleagues. Our hope is that we will continue to develop best IT practices to share with all campus members.

My department is in the process of revising the IT strategic plan. If you have any suggestions on how to improve our services, please contact the Director for Information Technology. I will seriously consider each and every input received. Thank you.
