About CAT

The Center for Academic Technologies (CAT) has evolved from the previous ATMS to a unit which provides academic technology support and training services to the CSUMB academic community. CAT is housed within Information Technology and collaborates with the IDEA Lab, WeTEC, TLA and other CSUMB units.

The Center priorities are to:

• assist faculty in planning and providing the richest possible learning experiences for students using technology
• create powerful, technology-enabled learning environments in both physical and "virtual" classrooms
• provide training and professional development opportunities for the academic community
• provide leadership in the identification, evaluation, and integration of emerging instructional technologies
• facilitate excellence in the teaching/learning and outreach functions of the university

See our Mission Statement for our specific mission and functions.

CAT is affiliated with:

• Community of Academic Technology Staff (CATS)
• Educause
• New Media Consortium
• National University Telecommunications Network (NUTN)
• Western Cooperative for Educational Telecommunications (WCET)
