Welcome to the Academic Computing Center (ACC) of the American University of Beirut (AUB), a space designed for collaborative and individual work.

The mission of the Academic Computing Center (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 consultations, access to software and hardware, and troubleshooting support to all faculty members. In addition to its regular schedule of workshops, ACC provides instructors, at their request, with face-to-face training sessions that help them to acquire confidence and capacity in a wide variety of computer applications relevant to teaching and research. Faculty may also request training for students enrolled in their courses.

ACC manages Moodle, the official AUB LMS (Learning Management System), which is currently used in more than 65% 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 and round-tables 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 AUB administrators.

ACC has developed and coordinated several other projects such as the ACC Digital Repository, the Plagiarism Test, the AUB YouTube Channel, LimeSurvey, Turnitin, as well as a wide range of services offered through its Multimedia and Design Unit.

ACC’s activities and resources reflect AUB’s commitment to a state-of-the-art education for all its students, an education that prepares them to be lifelong learners and successful professionals in the contemporary information age.
