| About Education IT
The Education Office of Information Technology is a team of information
technology professionals dedicated to empowering the science of Education
through information technology.
Mission: Build and sustain core technology infrastructure in support of the College of Education strategic plan.
Overview: Our functions are diverse. We are technical and creative consultants,
facilitators, implementers, troubleshooters, presenters, one-on-one
trainers, server administrators, and data stewards. We support approximately 500 computers,
18 servers,
6 instructional computing labs, and all
computer users in the College of Education @ Purdue University. Our servers
support various needs throughout the College of Education which include:
academic, administrative, and research computing; networked databases; lab
and departmental file and printer sharing; video conferencing, Web, and
distance education needs. We work closely with faculty and staff
members as creative consultants to provide ideas and information about new
technology opportunities in education. We continually acquire and evaluate
new computers, software, and handheld and videoconferencing devices that can be integrated into
teaching and learning environments.
Education IT provides webmaster and technical support for the College of Education web presence, working with departments, programs and offices to ensure that they and their
audience have a successful web experience. We also maintain the COE
faculty and staff web listings, photographs, and streaming video profiles.
Our team provides hardware support for all
College of Education computers including: specifications for new equipment,
repair of defective equipment, and upgrading of existing equipment.
Education IT develops and maintains
administrative databases for the College of Education Academic Services area. An
example of our work is the online Student Teacher Application, which
students submit via the web. We maintain databases and
web interfaces for the Office of Field Experiences, the Office of
Professional Preparation and Licensure,
Graduate Studies Office, Technology Resources Center, as well as our own Education IT online help desk and support systems.
We provide full support for several College of
Education learning and research labs including a Windows, the
Educational Technology Research lab, the Science Education lab, the
Technology Resources Center, and more.
Education IT also maintains College of
Education videoconferencing facilities and equipment on 3rd floor
of the Beering Hall of Liberal Arts and Education. We support numerous
flavors of videoconferencing throughout the College, including desktop and
group H.323 video conferencing and collaboration. We encourage and support many research initiatives in
distance education contexts.
We serve as liaisons with the Purdue IT
infrastructure, as well as other IT offices, departments, and teams on and
off campus.
Whether in a consultation role, a creative or
research role, a troubleshooting role, or just a transparent support
maintenance role,
Education IT wishes to make your computing experience as successful and
anxiety free as possible! If you have technology questions feel free
