Academic Technology

The Marist College Academic Technology group promotes and supports technology-enabled learning, with a dynamic and interdisciplinary team of people and a broad range of services:

• We assist in the design, production, and evaluation of web-based instructional materials.
• We provide training for developers and faculty on digitization, web authoring, and distance learning.
• We maintain state-of-the-art technologies (digital videos, computer animation, and online collaboration tools) in our newly created electronic classrooms and facilities.
• We support the on-going discussion on learner-centered teaching, with emphasis on collaboration and active learning.

As the result of a very effective collaboration between the faculty, the higher administration, the Information Technology Department and the Academic Technology group, Marist College developed the first online Master of Business Administration Program to be approved by the New York State Education Department. An online Master of Public Administration degree and numerous other online courses are now also offered. The Marist College Academic Technology group develops online courses in Ucompass Educator. We are actively implementing state-of-the-art distance learning technology for both the internal faculty and corporate partners.

A number of strategic relationships with corporate and other non-profit institutions has engaged the Marist College Academic Technology group in exciting experimentation with online communities, research on new communication tools, an extensive Digital Archive in collaboration with the FDR Library, and integration of distance learning with new digital library technology (IBM/Marist Joint Study).
