From the classroom to living rooms, the move to distance education has changed the learning environment for Stan State students. While today’s students are often technologically savvy and comfortable with online communication, it's still been a challenging transition for many. The Office of Information Technology and Office of Academic Technology have spearheaded the campuswide effort to make the shift as smooth as possible.
“OIT has partnered with dozens of offices across the University to make sure students have access to services, including faculty, academic advising, tutoring and other academic support teams,” said Rafael Espinosa, chief information officer for Stan State.
A number of technology resources are available to support student success. They include information about laptop/hotspot requests, free Wi-Fi/internet access and Zoom for students. OIT is also hosting virtual office hours and training sessions through Zoom.
“Our staff and faculty have come together to do whatever is necessary to serve our students during this difficult time — give us a call! We are here to help.” Espinosa said.
