Teresa Justice
Dean of Academic Resources and Instructional Technology

Academic Resources and Instructional Technology is dedicated to supporting the educational programs at both the South Campus and Pines Center through a wide range of state-of-the-art instructional technology and educational resources. Included in this department are all library services, student academic support labs, the word Processing Center and Instructional Technology Support staff.

The South Regional Library on South Campus, and the Southwest Regional Library located at the Pines Center represents a unique partnership between the College and the Broward County Public Library System. The mission of the library is to develop both a physical collection as well as electronic access to additional resources and databases that directly support both the teaching and research needs of the campus community. The latest technologies allow access to this information both on the campus as well as from a distance. Professional staff provides helpful and expert instruction in the utilization of both traditional and electronic resources.

Both locations house a student academic support lab, specializing in Writing, Reading, Mathematics, Modern Foreign Language, and ESL. These labs provide tutoring and other services which are specifically designed to promote student academic success.

Both the Word Processing Center and Instructional Technology Staff service the entire campus. The Word Processing Center directly supports the faculty and staff in the production of professional classroom and instructional support materials, while the Instructional Technology staff's task is to keep the campus network and individual PC's operational. Every faculty member on the campus has a computer in his/her office, and over half of the classrooms are equipped with computerized teaching stations. Students have access to multiple open labs with open Internet access in order to utilize their student e-mail accounts and complete their course assignments.

South Campus is definitely on the cutting edge of technological and academic support to its students, faculty and staff.
