Budget 2000/2001

Associate Dean for College Instructional Technology - 818 CEN 2A60

 

A fundamental tenet for the implementation of technology into instruction is to encourage the faculty to integrate technology into the curricula keeping academic programs current. This is accomplished by the institution supporting the purchase of instructional technology appropriate to new academic initiatives; develop instructional, administrative and faculty workgroups to enhance academic excellence and provide a mechanism to bring leading edge technology into the classroom; enhance the teaching of the research process and research skills incorporating leading edge technology; adding electronic, media, and print resources to the library collections; implement a system for upgrading existing equipment to meet current standards; continue to design, improve, and develop smart classrooms; update the College's ability to provide course work through distance education; and meet demands of new student demographics/technical applications of college mathematics, reading, and writing.

During AY1998-1999 three synchronous distance education sites have been constructed with initial vanguard-faculty training; universal access has been completed with the design of a faculty development training component; new partnerships have been formed with Computer Associates, Cisco, and Microsoft promoting the use of the company's products in SCCC instruction; and technology has been incorporated, at a College-level, in accounting, all the areas of computer studies, health sciences, and mathematics. These projects must now be maintained.

For AY2000-2001 three additional distance education course-development sites must be constructed in order to support the production of both asynchronous and synchronous courses with full-time support personnel; faculty development training designs must be refined and inclusive of Professional Assistants as well as teaching faculty; an universal access computer replacement plan must be developed; additional partnerships must be created with companies such as Gateway;  Professional Assistants must be hired for the support of instructional technology areas.

These initiative all fall within the following College's priorities and goals:

Academic Excellence
Promote alternative modalities for service delivery, including flexible scheduling, learning labs, distance learning and non-credit courses.
Develop academic skills for life-long learning.

Promote alternative learning strategies (e.g. interactive and experiential learning).

Leading Edge Technology

Improve communication among students, faculty, and staff through the use of emerging technologies.

Integrate appropriate technologies into the teaching and learning process, the delivery of student services, and administrative operations.
Implement continuous technology training for faculty, staff, and students.

Expanded Partnerships
Increase collaboration with business, industry, community, and international organizations.
