Mission
The mission of the Academic Technology Advisory Committee (ATAC) is to provide a forum for faculty to collaborate with ITS and other relevant service providers on campus in enhancing  the appropriate use of information technology in all aspects of academic life on campus. The committee is comprised of  four faculty members, representatives from the Office of Academic Affairs, ITS, the library, and (as needed) other departments. We  meet regularly  to discuss a broad range of topics that arise. Such topics include:

•  choosing classrooms for renovation as part of the Classroom Improvement Program
•  faculty development strategies (webtech, faculty resource room)
• desktop computing policies and procedures
•  appropriate use of network resources
•  funding for instructional software
•  programming for the Academic Technology Roundtable speaker series (including  choosing outside speakers to come to campus to talk about teaching, learning, and scholarly communication).
• evaluation of existing and planned services (labs, software, web tools, etc.)

In addition to these fairly concrete issues, the committee will work together to develop a more strategic approach to instructional support,  looking more closely at the various service points that exist on campus and attempting to identify places where synergies might exist, as well as bottlenecks that inhibit growth. It will also serve as a sounding board for larger campus-wide strategies surrounding technology including:

• instructional management systems
• the electronic portfolio
• campus portals
• best practices in applying technology to teaching
