The LIT Advisory Committee is hard at work! Several working groups are focused on fine tuning our academic technology toolkit going into the next fiscal budget cycle. Here are a few updates.
- Video at Wentworth: The group assessed several vendors and are selecting a few to come to campus for demonstrations. This work is informed by faculty, staff and student survey data collected over fall 2017.
