The Office of Instructional Technology relies on a cooperative approach. Two principles are considered to be essential for a healthy and a successful implementation of advanced Instructional Technologies:

The role of the Office of Instructional Technology is to lead the academic community towards an understanding of technology as

“more than the sum of its parts. It is a systematic way of designing, carrying out, and evaluating the total process of learning and teaching in terms of specific objectives, based on research in human learning and communication, and employing a combination of human and non-human resources to bring about more effective instruction.”

The Office of Instructional Technology has as its mission to coordinate and facilitate access to human and non-human resources of different departments of the university and the community. Members of the academic community ought to be actively involved in the elaboration of the various methods of instruction in combination with the appropriate media. The initiatives of faculty, staff, and students are considered seminal to the task of learning and instruction.
