It Planning Framework
Augsburg's Information Technology organization advances the mission of the
College by providing an online framework for our vibrant, modern learning community.
Much like city planners who organize the resources of a physical community,
Information Technology (IT) works closely with the college community to plan,
build and support an online framework for Augsburg upon which we communicate,
enroll, learn, teach, research, and manage.
(Long-Term) Strategic Priorities in IT:
A connected, engaged learning community,
providing a communications framework which:
- Connects any Augsburg site to our constituents through reliable e-mail,
web, document, voice communications and videoconferencing (ubiquitous)
- Organizes the multiple, complex threads of communication into an
intuitive (user-friendly) and efficient system which encourages readership
and impact
A high-quality and innovative teaching/learning experience, providing an academic
technology framework which:
- Supports faculty priorities in instructional design innovation
- Extends teaching/learning beyond the walls and schedule of the traditional
classroom
- Incorporates academic resources for research
- Meets modern demand for technology in the classroom
An efficient and robust administration, providing an information
systems (IS) framework which:
- Supports a self-service, online approach to administrative functions,
meeting the modern demand of our constituents.
- Automates and enforces workflow and reporting between administrative
units, raising accountability and performance, and providing for constituents
a simplified view of complex processes.
- Fosters strategic decision-making and supports institutional research.
- Supports change
- Ensures security and business continuity, meeting increasing regulatory
requirements.
