The College of Liberal Arts takes a proactive approach to supporting the use of technology. The college intends to provide to faculty with significantly different needs and experience in the use of technology facilities and support for an ever-expanding role of technology in the future . The current use of computers in instruction in CoLA is diverse. For a number of years there have been classes taught using multimedia in both large and regular-sized classrooms. There has been one distributed-learning class taught using compressed video.
Many classes now use web-enhanced teaching methods .
Electronic discussion-groups are common in many classes. As scholars, the faculty of CoLA are primarily but not exclusively participants in the culture of the book. Currently, each full-time faculty and staff member has a desktop computer which is networked for printing, email and access to the Internet. There is also a computer lab operated by the Department of Music. The college creates and maintains web pages and list servers for both administrative and instructional use.
