Charter

The Academic Technology Committee (ATC) is charged with advising on technology directions, strategies, policies, plans, and priorities important to Loyola’s goals in teaching, learning, research, and other academic objectives. The ATC strives to represent strategic academic units and administrative areas across the University. It meets three times in the fall, and another three times in the spring for a total of six meetings during the academic year. For continuity, members are asked to serve a minimum of two years. The ATC Chair presents Committee recommendations to the IT Executive Steering Committee (ITESE) for further consideration.

Chair: Susan C. Ries, Assistant Provost - Academic Records & Special Projects

Standing Research Technologies Workgroup

The Research Technologies Workgroup (RTW) is an ongoing subset of ATC, representing key research areas at the lakeside and health sciences campuses. It is tasked with reviewing statistical, qualitative data analysis, and online survey applications, and making recommendations to licensing structures and adoption of new research technologies.

Moderator: Lauree Garvin, Senior Research Technologies Coordinator

Rotating Academic Technologies Workgroups

The ATC annually selects up to four academic technologies to investigate as possible new solutions. ATC members are required to contribute to at least one of these workgroups. For 2021-22 academic year, the topics that have been selected are AR/VR technologies, collaborative annotation tools, and digital whiteboarding platforms.
