From PowerPoint presentations to movie creations, students use technology to enhance their learning experience.  An education major may use Excel to create a lesson for elementary students on how changing the denominator of a fraction affects value.  A social work major may create a movie documenting the plight of the homeless.  A history major may collaborate with an MIS major to create a web site.

Nearly all of our classrooms are technology enhanced with projectors, video and sound capabilities.  All classrooms provide wireless network and Internet accessibility.

Most professors utilize a course management system, called eLearn.  This provides a place for faculty to post assignments, grades, office hours, course syllabus.  It also provides online guided discussions, online quizzes, and a digital drop box for posting homework assignments.

All students have the opportunity to install Derive for math classes, SPSS for statistics and discipline specific software.
