A key to professional growth and development is training. We provide a wide variety of technology workshops each semester. Available to faculty, staff, and students, these workshops provide both basic and advanced software skills to the end-user. We also welcome large group and one-to-one training sessions. If your department is interested in a private training session, please email Angel Tazzer, Ph.D. to schedule the event.

Who
We Are
ATS is a service-oriented division whose main responsibility is to assist in the transformation of the pedagogy in the teaching/learning environment. The functions of the department can be placed into several categories: support for instructional design and preparation of material, support for classrooms with technology (equipment), faculty training, and renovation of classrooms. In short, ATS provides faculty with the training and support to use new technologies that enhance classroom instruction.
Online Readiness
Being “Online Ready” has taken on new meaning, but we have been involved in the planning, design, delivery, and evaluation of online courses and programs since 2004 at St. Mary’s University. Our prestigious Online Teaching Certification Program (OTCP) has provided faculty with in-depth, immersive learning into online course design for student success. We believe that online teaching embraces the core Marianist principle of adaptation and change, and we are her to be your success partner in that endeavor.
Instructional Design Support
ATS supports faculty, staff, and students with the design, implementation, and analysis of instructional content. We would love to be a part of your next success!
Support for Classroom Instruction with Technology
We provide assistance and advice for faculty and staff who have questions about using technology in their classrooms and offer strategies on maximizing the student use of technology on individual lessons, projects, or overall courses.

On Learning Technologies
