SWATSystem-Wide Academic Technology Services (SWAT)

 
In 2001, the CSU Office of the Chancellor initiated the System-Wide Academic Technology (SWAT) Services project. The goals of SWAT include:
    • Reducing campus and System costs for academic technology products through "volume" negotiations which campuses can voluntarily utilize.
    • Acquiring system-wide leverage with vendors of academic technology products.
    • Establishing a campus-accessible center of information and expertise on academic technology products/vendors/services through a CO-managed centralized repository (database) of information.
    • Reducing, for academic technology products, campus assessment and procurement time, hence costs.
    • Providing campus guidance for academic technology (teaching/learning) products/vendors/services.
    • Developing support strategies for disseminating and educating campus communities about the availability and use of academic technologies.
