TECHNOLOGY
Technology improvements in the last three academic years:
In spite of the economic downturn the Rady School has been able to continue leveraging current and emerging technologies to augment and enhance the pedagogical experience for our students. This approach has enabled us to deploy the most innovative services to our constituents quickly, while avoiding "lock-in" with a single vendor. Student communications are done electronically as well via both email notifications and through posted announcements on the Student Community Portal. Course materials are delivered electronically via the school’s Angel LMS. Such solutions enable area content owners to update their respective portal sights directly, without the need for direct IT oversight. This frees up IT team resources for the more complex application solutions.
