The Colorado College Academic Technology Services team is the branch of Information Technology Services that educates, supports, inspires and collaborates with faculty and students to integrate technology as a vital component of the teaching and learning process. ATS believes that the right technology, implemented in the right way, can revolutionize the way students think, communicate, and view the individual parts of their Colorado College education as a connected gateway into a lifetime of informed learning and critical thinking.

The ATS team experiments with and brings to faculty new and exciting ways to engage students, and facilitates the use of instructional technology through advocacy, project support and technology assessment. ATS team members are technological pioneers and systematic and timely project managers. We act as the interface between the specialized technology needs of faculty and students and the human and technology resources that Information Technology Services provides.

Our Aims

In service to the College mission, we promote and support technology integration in the curriculum that increases active learning, refines critical thinking and communication skills, and increases efficiency in teaching and learning.

In the fulfillment of the Colorado College promise to educate students for our time, we train and empower faculty and students in their use of technology for teaching and learning.

We develop, advocate for, and maintain the College technology infrastructure that supports teaching and learning.

We find, spark, develop and support instructional technology projects at the course, department and college-wide level.

We continuously examine and assess the use of technology relative to its context, effectiveness, and legal and ethical concerns.

We collaborate and communicate with other academic support professionals on campus.

Our Guiding Principles

We value and prioritize humans over machines. We promote the use of technology only when the benefits for teaching and learning outweigh the costs.

We believe that, in providing information about and access to technological resources, we improve the learning process by opening up modes of inquiry not possible without the use of technology.

We approach our mission with a strong service ethic.
