Training for Classroom Technology

Because the operation of the equipment may be very different from the equipment you have used previously, IT will be offering training sessions for the classroom technology. Please call IT Help Desk at 616-632-2050 to schedule training. This training is strongly suggested before using the technology. As an alternative, a training session can be scheduled during an academic department meeting. To take advantage of this option, department chairpersons can contact the IT Help Desk at 616-632-2050 or e-mail techhelp@aquinas.edu with the department meeting date and time. 

TAP is a Sustainable Business initiative to encourage faculty to reduce reliance on paper and to provide access to resources, i.e. CourseConnect and fewer handouts.
