The purpose of NACADA's Technology in Advising Commission is to help academic advisors and advising administrators to understand the impact that technologies such as the Web, e-mail, degree audits, online registration, and student information systems have on academic advising; use technology effectively in their work; and, appreciate the appropriate uses of technology in higher education. This commission seeks to serve as a central resource and clearinghouse for information about innovations and issues in academic advising technology. Through our commission Web site and electronic discussion forum (TECADV-L), as well as national and regional conferences, we actively seek to encourage NACADA members to engage in topical discussions and activities related to the uses of technology in advising.

Commission activities include our annual review and sponsorship of national conference proposals, coordination and oversight of the Electronic Publication Awards nomination and selection process, selection of Service to Commission Award winners, and solicitation of national and regional conference presentations and workshops. Commission members are also involved in the production of written works, including contributions to such publications as the NACADA Journal, NACADA Academic Advising News, monographs, and other efforts related to critical advising issues. The commission also maintains "Academic Advising Resources on the Internet," an extensive, annotated list of links to Web resources for advisors, arranged by topics. Through the commission's volunteer network, members can participate in the activities listed above as well as in our Advising Technology Education Center (ATECH) and Student Information System (SIS) projects. The chair of the commission is assisted by an active steering committee, with membership by invitation.
