Community Outreach

Under the aegis of the Office of Community Affairs, STS's Community Outreach effort helps bring technology to the Durham community by donating computers and technical support to local schools, community centers, and churches. Community Outreach volunteers help install hardware and software and assist with connecting computers to the Internet. They also assist with technology classes and the development of training and tutoring programs. To see how the program is making a difference in the schools it serves, visit these Web sites:

Duke Digital Initiative (DDI)

Academic Services is among the Duke organizations that support the Duke Digital Initiative (DDI), a multi-year program of experimentation, development, and implementation of new and emerging technologies to explore their effective use in support of the university's mission. DDI is a mechanism for us to experiment with, develop, and implement new and emerging technologies in support of the University's mission. DDI is aimed at using information technology to enhance teaching and learning, informal learning, faculty research/creative work, and university outreach.
