Academic Technologies sessions continue

As the leaves begin to change, so do the needs of UNMC’s faculty, students and staff. The Academic Technologies team, a department within the Information Technology unit, provides innovative and ongoing support.

The IMPACT Professional Development series, which began in August, continues to offer sessions in the areas of instruction, methodology, pedagogy, academics, curriculum and technology. To register for upcoming sessions, search the events page on Engage and RSVP. To learn more about the IMPACT Professional Development programming, visit the IMPACT site. Previous sessions and presentations are recorded and available through the Echo360 course site.
