The Office of Information Technology is strongly committed to helping faculty
use information technology to enhance teaching, learning, and research. To that
end, services and resources are available to facilitate collaboration and communication
between faculty, students, and peers; to enrich the learning experience in physical
and online environments; to streamline administrative activities; and to foster
professional development opportunities. In addition to the support provided
by OIT staff in these areas, faculty in some colleges also have access to a
Technology Officer who serves as a liaison
between the college and OIT and represents faculty interests to both units.
First things first. When a faculty member first arrives at the University
of Maryland a myriad of tasks await, including getting connected in order to
access services, students, and peers. OIT's "Top Ten Technology Tasks"
will have you communicating and productive in no time.
