Welcome to the Emerging Technology Center at Georgia Southern University! We provide comprehensive services to the campus in all facets of emerging and instructional technology. It is our goal to improve the teaching and learning process by recommending, testing, implementing and supporting technology for use in the classroom.
Services
In order to facilitate the distribution of information within the Georgia Southern community, we provide numerous services such as equipment checkout, document scanning, DVD/VHS conversion, and video streaming. We also offer training on many technologies that are commonly used on the Georgia Southern campus, such as podcasting, Crystal Reports, and CPS.
Classroom Technology
The Emerging Technology Center supports over 200 Smart Classrooms on campus. We are also the primary campus location for information and training related to CPS.
Distance Learning
Distance learning programs allow Georgia Southern to provide classrooms to students in remote locations. We offer two primary methods of distance learning: videoconferencing and on-line learning through GeorgiaVIEW.
