About ITAM

Instructional Technology and Media provides a wide variety of services and support for both the curricular and co-curricular sides of the college. Created in 2002 by adding an Academic Computing Specialist to the services of the Media Resources Center, our goal is to provide a high level of support in materials, technologies and skills for the teaching and learning process. ITAM combines traditional media collections and media services with the skills of our instructional technologists to help students and faculty in their academic endeavors. We also provide media support (sound systems, videotaping, etc.) for events campus-wide.

Audio and video collections are listed in the online catalog and are available for checkout, classroom use and can be placed on reserve. There is also an extensive art slide collection available. We maintain a variety of equipment (ranging from slide projectors and cassette recorders to video cameras to small sound systems) which is available for short term loan to supplement equipment available in the academic buildings. ITAM also has a number of PC and Mac Laptops for short-term loan.

ITAM supports the equipment in the academic buildings on campus ranging from Overhead Projector and TV/VCRs on carts to installed multimedia and videoconferencing systems. The ITAM lab in the basement of Lilly Library has 8 individual carrels for listening to audio materials, viewing videos, and includes a 10 position language lab. Some VCR's and DVD players are equipped to handle video materials from around the world. The Media Arts Lab is also housed in the ITAM area. This is a 10 computer station lab (intel based iMacs) for the development and production of media materials with variety of video, audio, and graphic production software.

Throughout the year we offer support to help members of the community develop their skills in applying a variety of technologies to the teaching and learning process through workshops and individual consultations.
