Instructional Design, Technology, and Media (IDTM) unit provides consulting, support, and tools to enable technology-enhanced teaching in both online and classroom-based learning environments. IDTM consists of two previously separate units, Instructional Technology and Instructional Media Services.

Central Upper Peninsula and Northern Michigan University Archives - manages university and historical materials relating to Northern Michigan University and the central Upper Peninsula of Michigan

AISAC acts in a liaison capacity to represent the faculty by making recommendations to the Academic Senate. The Committee is particularly interested in questions, suggestions or concerns you may have regarding the information, resources, instructional and interpretative consulting services provided by AIS to support the teaching, research and outreach missions of you, your department, and the university. To that end, AISAC encourages faculty to contact current members with any issues that might be addressed. We thank you!
