This is the support and information site of the The Instructional Technology & Media Services group at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington in the United States of America.
The Instructional Technology & Media Services group is part of Technology Services, (formerly known as the Office of Information Systems).
Mission
Our main focus is to provide services and resources to faculty, students and support staff in the use of technology to enhance teaching, learning and research. We assist faculty in classrooms and labs, investigate and promote new technologies, and provide training and documentation in person, print, multimedia & online. This includes developing and conducting workshops, individual trainings and short guest teaching modules in ongoing courses. The team administers and supports the campus LMS solutions (currently in transition from Blackboard to Moodle) and approximately 100 electronic classrooms. Our staff provide a wide range of digital media services in support of the educational mission, including digital media production assistance and streaming media.
