Welcome to the Instructional Technology Center at UNM-LA

Room 306 on the UNM-LA Campus

The ITC provides technical support and training for all faculty and staff at UNM-LA. Several courses and seminars are available, for subjects ranging from Microsoft(R) office to using Smart Boards in your classrooms to using WebCT to teach online or enhance your traditional on-ground course. If you have specific requests for training or need some one-on-one instruction, let Carol or Bill know.

We're here to train and support your use of technology in the classroom. Check out equipment, take trainings in the use of technology, ask for tutoring and individual consultation on the use of technology in education, or schedule a workshop here.
