As educational technology becomes more prevalent in the classroom, collaboration and communication between IT subject matter experts and Faculty is more important than it has ever been. To help facilitate these interactions, IT Teaching and Learning Services, in collaboration with the IT Governance Committee, founded the Educational Technology Advisory Council (ETAC) in October 2023.

ETAC is an interdisciplinary group of URI faculty and IT experts who meet monthly to provide guidance on matters related to Brightspace and other technologies. It seeks to build a bridge between technology users and technology experts so that the entire URI community is better served.  

Some ongoing areas of focus include the review of new Brightspace Integrations and requests for system changes.   For the latest information, please visit our website, https://its.uri.edu/tls/educational-technology-advisory-council-etac/.
