Introduction:  

The Center provides faculty and staff support in all aspects of academic technology development and integration into the curriculum. The lab is a resource center for NEOUCOM faculty and their staff to receive help in integrating technology into the learning process. It can also be used for creating and conducting research on multimedia programs and innovative learning environments as well as developing multimedia instructional materials.

As a NEOUCOM faculty member, you can schedule a needs assessment session. If your needs are best satisfied with chalk and blackboard, we'll be the first to agree. But if integrating computer technology into your instruction can enhance learning by combining sound, video, text, animation or graphics, we'll help you decide on the most effective ways to produce and present your ideas. Whether you need a hands-on digital production facility or someone to do the digitizing for you, the CAT is your one-stop enabling facility for multimedia.
