The of goal of technology use at OES is to improve learning for students. Our integration approach is curriculum-driven, and determined primarily by the critical trials and decisions of faculty and departments. Overall, we see this evolutionary process as involving far more than hardware, software and network equipment.

Each year, faculty members develop and evaluate technology-enhanced curriculum projects and teaching methodologies, leading to exciting new forms of academic discovery and discourse. We want all students to critically assess how technology can enhance their ability to research, assess, process, and present information and ideas.

At OES, technology is not seen as an independent subject, but as a growing collection of tools and methods to be appraised, selected, and experienced by students. In addition to developing core technology skills for all students, OES offers opportunities that enable students to explore advanced interests in technology.
