The institute currently includes two tracks, one for beginners and another for those who are more advanced. Facilitators for the program are generally faculty members who adopted the use of technology early, have knowledge of WebCT, have incorporated technology in a number of courses, and are at the forefront of using technology successfully in classroom or online settings. In addition, the program uses facilitators who have successfully completed the institute or who have been selected as a Delta State "Technology Champion."

Besides the benefits provided to the faculty members, the technology institute also benefits students, who become more active learners and more comfortable with the use of technology. In addition, continuing development of technological expertise on the part of faculty members may later allow more students to be reached through online classes as well as providing additional classes without construction of additional physical facilities.

In the network project, five inexpensive high-speed internet access lines are aggregated, providing increased bandwidth for the campus yet isolating the new network from the public network in order to eliminate security threats. The university also installed a low-cost firewall to secure traffic to and from the public network. In addition, the university integrated the deployments of wireless networks for mobile students; wireless access is automatically placed into the public network, improving campus network security even in the event of wireless security breach.

The network project gives students faster, more secure, and less restrictive internet access without jeopardizing the security of the overall campus network. It provides students with greater bandwidth access, reduced workload on the student network, more flexible internet access, and simplified implementation of wireless internet access.
