What to ask about Information Technology when choosing a college or university.
Wesleyan is a member of EDUCAUSE, an international, nonprofit association whose mission is to help shape and enable transformational change in higher education through the introduction, use, and management of information resources and technologies in teaching, learning, scholarship, research, and institutional management.
EDUCAUSE has created the Consumer Guide for
Evaluating Information Technology on Campus.
This guide contains a series of questions that a
prospective student and parent might ask of the
institutions they are considering attending.
When you follow the links to the left for questions you should be
asking of the school you plan to attend, you'll find these symbols:
Wesleyan University has made a substantial investment
in technology and the results are quite impressive.
Technology is used in virtually all aspects of student
life on campus. Information Technology
Services (ITS) at Wesleyan University, as a
convenience for prospective students, has provided
answers to these questions in the precise order and
format that Educause suggested.
We think we have a
very good story to tell but please judge for yourself by
visiting the links to the left. If you have any
questions or comments about this please feel free to send
email to its@wesleyan.edu.
