What We Do

eLearning

The eLearning team is responsible for the creation and support of all SAU Online courses. They work closely with academic departments and Subject Matter Experts (SME) to build pedagogically-appropriate content for SAU students across the world. Brightspace is the learning management system used for all SAU-courses delivered online.

Enterprise Development

Our most senior team is Enterprise Development which maintains and supports CARS (Jenzabar CX), Oracle, Student Support, Salesforce, and the MySAU Portal.

Media Technologies and Infrastructure

Media Technologies and Infrastructure (MTI) is responsible for all audio-visual services at SAU along with the physical parts of our network infrastructure (cabling, installation, etc). 

Technology Integration and Support

If you've ever called the help desk, you've spoken with a member of Technology Integration and Support (TIS). This team manages the help desk, repairs computer and phone hardware, maintains network and email accounts, troubleshoots phones, and keeps the network and internet secure and available. Additionally, this team provides training for academic and administrative staff members on systems like Brightspace and Box.

Who We Support

We interact with all 4,000+ students, faculty, and staff members across the 30+ buildings on the Spring Arbor, MI campus and online. We also access needs for hundreds of local community members and Conference Services visitors. From email to internet access to class registration, there is rarely a time when someone associated with SAU isn't interacting with a system supported by Information Technology.
