Other campus resources for assistance & loan equipment

CTE-Instructional Media (Closed)

The Center for Teaching Excellence, formerly OIR, once housed the Division of Instructional Media (DIM). DIM was responsible for a vast audiovisual equipment loan pool and staffed a/v operators and projectionists. On May 16, 2005, the division closed.

CITES Classroom Technologies receives many calls and e-mails with questions about these services. Although we do not provide equipment for loan, we do have a small staff who can operate the ITS equipment in the classroom for special events. There are also a number of college and departmental level units that serve in an A/V support capacity.
