Learning Technologies & Innovation
We're thrilled to share that Instructional Technology & Research Support is now officially Learning Technologies & Innovation. This new name more accurately reflects the full range of support and services we provide, as well as our dedication to keeping Loyola at the cutting edge of technology for teaching and learning. Our team of seasoned experts will continue to deliver the same outstanding support you've come to rely on. You can still direct 'how-to' questions through the ITS Service Desk at 773-508-4487 or ITSservicedesk@luc.edu, and individual consultations can be scheduled via our online booking site. Regular walk-in support is available at the Lake Shore Campus in Information Commons 204 and at the Health Sciences Campus in Cuneo Center 180. We are excited about a dynamic and highly collaborative 2025 ahead!
