It is outfitted with 12 computers with both Windows and Mac operating systems on them, as well as a fantastic whiteboard and projector.

Advising Scheduler

The Advising Schedule is a web application used by students in the College of Arts and Science and General College to schedule academic advising appointments. The Advising Scheduler allows students to schedule either phone or in-person appointments based on a student's selected major, reason, and class.

Echo360

OASIS and the Global Education Center are currently testing Echo360 and their classroom capture technology in the Auditorium of the GEC.

Online Tutor

The Online Tutor allows students to submit drafts and receive feedback from UNC Chapel Hill Writing Center tutors. Students can and do use the Online Tutor to submit drafts at any time of the day or night. In addition to course-related assignments, cover letters, admissions essays, and other types of writing may be submitted for feedback. The code for the Online Tutor is used in a separate deployed instance by NC State. It has also been modified for use by the University of Iowa Writing Center.

Research Computing

The research computing area is an effort to provide a bridge between services that are provided by ITS and the needs of various kinds of research activities across the College. This nascent group is currently mapping out the "universe" of technological research needs, tools, and campus-provided resources so as to arrive at a set of technological solutions that OASIS could be in a position to provide long-term.

Software Development

OASIS provides full life cycle software development services to the College. Generally applications developed internally are prioritized by their impact to the College in terms of the departments, faculty, administrators and students who would benefit from an application.

Surplus Program
