Division of Instructional Technology

The Division of Instructional Technology plays a critical role in the George Mason University community by delivering high quality support, services, and tools. This would not be possible without the hard work and contribution of each DoIT team member and, as an organization, we are prepared and excited for a new semester, a new year, and new endeavors.

DoIT made great strides in instructional excellence throughout 2012 including:

(1) employing digital media standards
(2) increasing high definition capacity
(3) securing centralized management and funding of key technology enterprises
(4) developing divisional core values
(5) employing new communication vehicles within the university community
(6) utilizing advisory groups
(7) increasing distance education support and development
(8) implementing enterprise-level software and hardware solutions

Our focus in 2013 will remain on maintaining a high level of effectiveness and efficiency in areas including technology classrooms and learning spaces, learning management systems and tools, instructional design and production of online courses, and Mason's virtual computing lab and online portal. During this academic year, DoIT will, no doubt, continue to deliver exceptional customer service and execute projects with the goal of inspiring academic success.

It is an exciting time of innovation and change at the university and our new president, Angel Cabrera, along with members of the Mason community, are working to create a new vision for George Mason University. As the strategic plan that follows that vision is created, goals articulated, and the outcomes realized, DoIT will work to align its goals with those of George Mason University and the Informational Technology Unit to ensure the university remains a leading educational institution.
