Academic Technology

The Center for Academic Technology (CAT) was created in 2005 with funding from Title III. The Center is committed to supporting and empowering MCLA faculty to improve the quality of instruction in all courses through training, consultation and support. We are here to assist you with classroom material preparation, instructional design and development, and Blackboard Vista support.

MCLA Academic Technology has issued a Request For Response in partnership with four other state higher ed institutions: Salem State University, Framingham State University, Greenfield Community College, and Massasoit Community College. The RFR seeks a replacement for our Learning Management System, Blackboard Vista, which is end-of-life as of the end of 2012.
