Academic Technology Services

We directly support the teaching and learning mission of the campus.

Classroom and Special Event Support

We provide media services for the support of academic courses and special events using media on or off campus. A course is defined as being listed in the schedule of classes, having a class number, meeting at the time and general assignment location listed, and having a mandatory attendance of students. A special event is defined as any event that is not an academic course and does not require student attendance. Academic Technology staff support teaching and learning in the classroom.

Distance Education

Distance Education at CSN involves two-way live, 'real-time' video and audio of your classroom with participants in an off-campus location. We provide the high-quality, compressed video and audio technology via video conferencing. In some situations, you share your classroom teaching with students at a remote classroom. Guest lecturers and professors normally not able to attend a lecture due to travel constraints may be brought into your curriculum.

WebCT Learning Management System

The WebCT Learning Management System is an integrated set of web course tools that can be used to supplement a class taught mostly face-to-face or can be used to teach a course entirely at a distance (where students mostly "go to class" online using the Web with few if any visits to campus).

Technology Training

Academic Technology in cooperation with CAPE offers workshops for faculty and staff on a variety of software tools and teaching spaces. Among those courses are offerings on the components of Microsoft Office 2007 suite, the Adobe Design Suite CS3, Site Builder, Smart Classrooms, Web CT, and others for which there is a demand.  We also provide technical support to faculty and staff who have difficulty working with software on their computers.
