About IMS
Technology has changed the face of education as we know it. Today educators and students are interacting in new ways - be it face-to-face in lecture halls, or over the Internet via distance learning courses. Students are now attending lectures in their living room and educators are archiving their curriculum for delivery to students long after they have left campus for the day. There is no doubt that a revolution in education is upon us. Institutions worldwide are leveraging new technologies in Internet audio and video to maximize professors' ability to reach students in more meaningful ways. It's a new age of learning, and Texas A&M is driving it forward. With streaming media solutions IMS can provide, you can expand your ability to effectively educate and communicate within your colleges and departments. Colleges can also improve the effectiveness of your recruting efforts. IMS solutions enable educators and other members of the university to:
- Leverage limited classroom time
- Supplement the traditional classroom approach and provide alternative learning mechanisms
- Expand the reach of education beyond the campus to include students in remote locations and those who are not able to attend class during scheduled times
- Enable teachers to augment and package existing material to create a robust learning tool
- Incorporate technology in the classroom
- Increase the effectiveness of recruiting
