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.
