Partnerships and collaboration are essential components of Information Technology Services' approach to supporting the University.
Key Partnerships
ATAB is a committee of the Office of the Provost and is the voice of the faculty in all matters related to academic technology.
A faculty-led group focused on discussing AI in teaching, learning & research. This committee also provides input and perspective from the academic & research community on the review and implementation of AI tools for use by the University community.
The Center for Digital Innovation in Learning (CDIL) partners with the BC community to design, develop, and support student-centered digital learning experiences.
The Center for Teaching Excellence supports Boston College instructors throughout their careers to create engaging and inclusive learning environments for their students.
This group is focused on AI in administration, and how it may enable efficiency or innovation to better serve the University. This committee also provides input and perspective from the administrative community on the review and implementation of AI tools for use by the University community.
OUC offers a wide range of services that support the marketing of Boston College to various external constituencies, including prospective students and parents, prospective graduate students, alumni, and the general public. While OUC focuses on projects that require a combination of original design, writing, and photography, the office also handles projects that may require only one of these services. Specific projects include print and online communications as well as signage, banners, and other types of promotional vehicles.
This year-long community of practice, co-sponsored by the Center for Digital Innovation in Learning (CDIL) and ITS, is meant to give faculty a hands-on way of exploring AI by building custom chatbots in their courses.
The use of the cluster is guided by the Research Computing Commitee. If you have comments on cluster policy, please contact researchservices@bc.edu or one of the committee members found on the Linux HPC web page.
The BC Libraries provide information resources and services to support teaching, learning, and research at Boston College. The BC libraries offer a wealth of resources in technology and research, including the BC Libraries' online catalog, online databases, electronic journals (e-journals), electronic books (e-books), online research guides, and much more.
