The eWake Learning Management System provide 24x7 anywhere access to all learning resources including lecture files, audio/visuals, objectives, USMLE copliance, student resources, and schedules at a glance. A dedicated portal provides direct access to student administrative resources.

Expertise

Academic Computing provides project management as well as multimedia and systems development. We employ a variety of platforms and skillsets including application development in the Microsoft .Net environment, Database design and administration, SharePoint Collaboration, network and systems administration, content development for electronic delivery, Audio/Visual hardware support, and advanced Video and Tele conferencing systems and support.

Research and Informatics Support

In addition to student learning, Academic Computing has enhanced the connections between investigators, the Office of Research, and various review boards in clinical trials and research programs with a web-based human studies protocol submission system called eIRB and a web-based animal studies protocol submission system called eIACUC.

In 2006 , Academic Computing, the Coy C. Carpenter Library, and the Office of Biomedical Communications (now Creative Communications) began the process of merging strategies to take advantage of economies of scale and at the same time to create an enhanced informatics model for the School of Medicine.
