Mission Statement

Over the past several years, the advancement of necessary technologies along with institutional change have affected Media & Academic Computing (M&AC) services.  M&AC has been called upon to enhance services by providing leadership and direction for technologies including:

• Print management
• Active Directory
• Desktop domain infrastructure
• Desktop and Server Virtualization
• Updated Learning Management System (Blackboard 9)
• Enhanced email and related services (Office 365)

During the same time we have shared in the institutional changes that challenge service levels and quality including:

• Budget reductions
• Retirements
• Hiring restrictions
• Transfers of personnel and equipment

Unfortunately, at this time M&AC does not have dedicated staff positions nor the capacity to continue to provide videographer or photographer services to the YSU community. Requests for such services to M&AC cannot be fulfilled. Assistance training faculty self-recording, editing and incorporating video and photos into course materials for academic purposes will continue to be a service offered by the Instructional Technology Center (ITC at ext. 3244).

Going forward, M&AC will continue to provide new and traditional services including:

• Support for technology questions and concerns
• Assistance with on-site and remote desktop/mobile technology needs
• Preparation and maintenance of campus computer labs
• Design, maintenance and support for multimedia classrooms
• Delivery of mobile multimedia equipment
• Design and production of graphic, illustrations, web pages, and printed materials
• Infrastructure engineering services (e.g., print management, directories, virtualization, computing environment, desktop services, etc.)
• Delivery of critical business systems (e.g., Blackboard 9, Office 365, Windows/Mac software)
• Software licensing for students, faculty and staff
• Technology hardware repair including certified warranty services for several vendors
• Delivery of tools and services for online and distance learning
• Instruction for and assistance with classroom technologies
• Assistance editing and incorporating videos and photos for course materials
