Mobile Learning Assistants (MLAs) are RIT students who are employed by ITS Customer Support and the Center for Training and Professional Development. They are selected based upon their knowledge of a suite of training topics. The purpose of the MLA program is to provide RIT faculty and staff with a convenient and effective means of sharpening their computer skills.
How does it work?
To arrange for a visit from an MLA, contact the ITS HelpDesk at 475-HELP (4357) or 475-2810 (TTY) or send e-mail to helpdesk@rit.edu. Appointments are limited to one or two hours per session, and are available Monday through Friday during MLA scheduled hours. Please allow three business days advance notice. Requests will be answered on a first-come, first-served basis.
