MISSION
The Academic Computing Center supports all instructional technology and pedagogy. Software application support
includes those needed by students for course-work, and those used by faculty for teaching. Also provided are both
individual and group support for all faculty development initiatives including those involving eLearning, ePortfolio,
Hi-Impact Practices, grant and CUNY-sourced projects. Each year we conduct the eLearning Institute preparing
teachers and courses for online instruction in partly and fully online, and web enhanced modalities. In addition we
offer instructional technology workshops, an open computer drop-in center for both faculty and students, and a
Media Services Team, which provides audio / visual setup and support for major campus events.
