The Innovation team works with the faculty and staff of URI to support all aspects of student success at URI. From daily life to engagement and learning outcomes, we develop, deploy and support new IT solutions helping students thrive at the University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We support applied student learning outcomes – much of our work and many of our projects are implemented by students with guidance and oversight from our professional staff. The Innovative Learning Technologies (ILT) Program<\/a> has been extremely successful in this work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ITS is currently exploring the use of AI at the University and developing best practices – check back for future updates!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a great idea but need help developing and deploying, please contact us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
