Application and Information Services (AIS), a unit of MSIS, is meeting increasing demands for their services, not by hiring more developers, but by implementing new processes and workflows. “Embracing and Implementing Change” is a brief video describing how AIS teams are partnering with their clients throughout the development cycle. The end result is a product which is fully tested and ready for operation – and happier customers.

This video describes the health Open Educational Resources (OER) activities at University of Michigan Medical School. The Medical School is working collaboratively with other health science schools to build a global health OER initiative.
