Department Chair Technology Guide
Here you’ll find a variety of useful tools and services you may find helpful to use in your role as Department Chair. While there are many other technology services and tools available to you, below are some of the most common offerings Department Chairs find useful in their day-to-day tasks.
Faculty/Staff Technology Guide
The Faculty/Staff Guide is a curated list of technologies specifically focused on popular technologies utilized by Elon’s faculty and staff. Department chairs and program assistants should use this as a starting point to begin exploring available technologies at Elon.

Service Offerings
Beyond the Faculty/Staff Technology Guide, another part of our website that you may find useful as a chair is our service offerings page that groups services into categories such as communication and collaboration, administrative systems, and instructional technologies. If you, or a faculty member, are looking for a technology solution but aren’t sure of what IT offers, this is a great place to start.

Other Tools
Beyond what you’ll find by exploring the Faculty/Staff Guide and Service Offerings, the following tools were also identified by fellow chairs as some of their ‘go-to’ sites and tools. Many of these tools are provided by others throughout the University and may not be represented on our IT site.
