HSEC Technology Support Subcommittee

Computer-Based Testing Taskforce


Departmental Technology Requirements, Commonalities, and Use Cases Taskforce


Mission Statement

The Health Sciences Education Center (HSEC) Technology Support Subcommittee will continue the work of the formal HSEC committees in order to implement best technology practices across Health Sciences’ shared learning spaces. This committee meets monthly in preparation for HSEC’s official opening, Fall 2020. After that, a standing Health Sciences Learning Space Technology Advisory Board would then guide this area.

Deliverables

Health Sciences’ support for academic learning spaces and technology is distributed throughout the Health Sciences colleges and schools. This work is supplemented by connecting departments which include HS Classroom Services (HSCS), HS Technology (HST) and UM Libraries.

The following deliverables will improve the technology experience and are derived from various HSEC committee final reports (link these here).
