Mapping Data with Geographic Information Systems
Many NYU students and faculty currently use GIS. Cultural history classes analyze the migration patterns of New York’s immigrant groups, marine biology classes record soil and water samples, and classes in public health compare the epidemiology of infectious diseases.
Global Learning Innovation Brings Technology to Classrooms
The instructional technologists in NYU IT’s Global Learning and Innovation (GLI) team consult with faculty to help them determine the best ways to integrate innovative pedagogy and state-of-the-art media into lessons and courses.

Learning Portfolio is a service that will help students store and access their academic materials at anytime, from anywhere, so that they later can be presented to prospective employers or graduate programs.
Augmented Reality Links Real and Virtual Worlds
Imagine watching a televised football game and seeing the first down line marking the field. This virtual object that appears on the playing surface is, in fact, augmented reality in action.
OrgSync Digitally Connects NYU Students and Clubs
For a little over a year now, over 350 organizations that are part of NYU’s Center for Student Activities, Leadership and Service have been using Orgsync, an online tool to list calendars, schedule events, track membership, and communicate to members.
Watering Hole Attacks
Information security discussions are plagued with bad analogies, and none sounds stranger than a “watering hole attack,” which plays off the tactic in which predatory animals stalk food by waiting at a popular watering hole. Rather than hunt their prey, the predator will wait for the prey to come to it.
BuTinah: NYU’s Most Advanced Supercomputer
NYU Abu Dhabi’s high performance computer (HPC) cluster, named “BuTinah,” after the marine-protected archipelago reserve off the coast of Abu Dhabi, will play a critical role in supporting the computational requirements of the NYUAD research community.
Coding 101
Codecademy offers interactive online instruction in a variety of programming languages—all at no cost. Recently, they have teamed up with NYU’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development to offer students the chance to learn coding in both a classroom and online environment.
The Digital Studio: NYU’s Front Door for Technology and Scholarship
The Digital Studio, a collaboration of NYU Libraries and Information Technology Services, offers a wide range of services in support of research and instruction, including video and audio capture; production and publication; live audio and video capture; and photo, slide, and text scanning.
