Instructional Technology
Hello and thank you for visiting the Hood College Instructional Technology Information page. Hood College offers a wide variety of Instructional Technology tools to its faculty, students and staff to improve classroom instruction and the learning experience using today's latest innovations in education.
Hood supports these technologies with an optical-fiber computer network backbone that stretches to each dormitory and all academic and administration buildings allowing for network file sharing and internet connectivity. Many classrooms are outfitted with Instructional Technology tools that allow for an enhanced learning experience. These devices range from the widely used legacy technology of overhead projectors and 35mm slide projectors to more currently introduced technologies like data/video projectors and laptop PCs.
In an effort to strengthen the use and understanding of these technologies, we have created this page to better inform the Hood College community of available technology, technology classroom locations, request for equipment, equipment repair notification, learning resources and information on the College's newest Instructional Technology tool, Blackboard. Blackboard is a Web-based Internet/Intranet software platform that allows for the easy creation and development of Web-based course information by Hood's faculty. This will allow for wider distribution of information and empower our faculty, staff and students in their ongoing educational goals.
I invite you to browse this site and learn more about the services and technologies we are currently offering at Hood.
