Welcome to the Academic Computing Center (ACC) of the American University of Beirut (AUB), a space designed for collaborative and individual work.  ACC reports to the Office of the Provost. 
     The mission of ACC is to promote the use of teaching and learning technologies at AUB.  To this end, ACC provides advice, training and assistance to AUB faculty members in integrating technology tools into their teaching to enhance and facilitate students’ learning.  
     ACC offers resources, one-to-one or group consultation, access to software and hardware and troubleshooting support to all faculty members.  On regular basis and upon request, ACC offers face-to-face training sessions to help instructors acquire confidence and capacity in a wide variety of computer applications useful in their teaching and research.  Moreover, ACC maintains on its Website a variety of easy-to-understand online tutorials for consultation and self-teaching.
     ACC manages Moodle, the AUB official LMS (Learning Management System), currently used in around 40% of all AUB course-sections.  ACC provides guidance, training, and support to instructors using Moodle and to students enrolled in Moodle courses.
     ACC organizes yearly seminars in which faculty members demonstrate how they are using various technology tools to supplement and enrich their classroom meetings.  These events give the instructors an opportunity to share their experience and expertise with their colleagues as well as with the AUB administration. 
     ACC's activities and resources reflect AUB's commitment to a state-of-the-art education for all its students. An education which equips them to be lifelong learners and successful professionals in the current and future  information technology society.
