About Academic Technology and Outreach
Academic Technology and Outreach (ATO) is a division of the Office of Academic Affairs and Provost at Montana State University. ATO serves and supports faculty, staff, and students across campus in teaching and learning, focusing on quality, access, and innovation. In addition, ATO builds and maintains MSU's classroom and eLearning ecosystem and supports our land-grant mission through unique and innovative opportunities for outreach and engagement.
ATO provides services and support in three areas:
- Teaching and Learning Technologies
- eLearning and Innovation
- Continuing, Professional and Lifelong Learning
ATO provides technology and support for faculty and students engaged with online learning. It also develops and delivers non-credit and academic outreach activities, explores new forms of alternative credentials, and provides technical support and strategic planning for the campus' instructional technology infrastructure.
ATO works closely with the Center for Faculty Excellence, the Division of Student Success, and several other student and faculty support services on campus.
