What's New?

AIS’s Instructional Design, Technology, and Media (IDTM) unit provides consulting, support, and tools to enable technology-enhanced teaching in both online and classroom-based learning environments. IDTM consists of two previously separate units, Instructional Technology and Instructional Media Services.

IDTM provides classroom technology support, administers the WebCT course management system, and operates the Center for Instructional Technology in Education (CITE), a resource center for NMU faculty.

We are in the process of updating our web site.
Please bear with us as we get (re)organized.
