Our Information Technology Division (ITD) works tirelessly to provide students, faculty, and staff the resources needed to deliver and receive instruction and to do our jobs on a day-to-day basis.

Here are some recent highlights:

• An interdisciplinary team from ITD, Marketing and Communications, and Academic Affairs launched the newly designed MTSU website homepage and the webpages showcasing more than 300 majors and concentrations in 2024. Currently, 99% of the MTSU website has been updated to the new design. The updates will be completed in early 2025.
• MTSU digital signage is moving to the cloud. Work started in fall 2024 and will continue into spring to update all digital signage software to the new cloud- based Poppulo system, which offers several new features and possibilities.
• Marketing, Athletics, Geosciences (GIS Lab), ITD Classrooms, the Center for Popular Music, and the Albert Gore Research Center have, in total, added more than 25 TB of content to the Merlin digital assets system in 2024. Other areas have completed training and will start utilizing the tool in 2025.
• Grammarly is now available free to all students, faculty, and staff! This productivity app reviews and offers suggestions for spelling, grammar, punctuation, and clarity of writing. The app was previously offered only to College of Business students. Onboarding for students, faculty, and staff started just before the Fall 2024 semester. To date, more than 33% of the faculty/staff and 25% of the student body take advantage of Grammarly. Workshops for students, faculty, and staff will be scheduled in the coming year.
