 Information literacy is reinforced at every level of college life at Bloomfield.
Specially trained members of the library staff help students, faculty and administrators
take advantage of our continuously evolving tech resources from distance-learning
tools to highly specialized online research databases. A culture of constant
exploration and improvement is fostered as part of our educational mission. |
It's a Wired World
Everywhere You Turn
Take a tour of Bloomfield College and you'll discover an environment
bristling with keyboards and monitors. These are the pencils and paper of our
age, the virtual labs that complement our physical labs. Some of us use technology
as a basic tool for research and writing. Others among us dive into the technology
itself, like a musician taking up new instruments. At Bloomfield, we marry
the traditional liberal arts and sciences with the technology of the information
age.
At the most basic level, every Bloomfield College student has online access to their own "virtual workspace" on the College's network and servers. Term papers and presentations are developed, crafted and submitted online or shared with professors and fellow students with the support of digital presentation and group software. Multimedia tools are as common as blackboards. Many faculty put courses online. Some build entire learning experiences around the imaginative use of technology.
A Major Focus
Besides being a basic tool, technology is also a major
focus of several degree programs at Bloomfield. These include Internet
Technology, Computer Information Systems, and Creative Arts & Technology.
Fueled by the transformation of data and visual information into
the lifeblood of the global economy, these tech-based programs are
a magnet for both local and international students.
