Initiative Title	2 computer carts furnished with 16 Chromebooks each for Harriman and Kaplan classrooms
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	2024
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	In order to increase student competency and success in both writing and research, two additional portable computer/Chromebook carts with 25 laptops each would enable instructors, particularly those teaching ENG 101, to work on essay drafting and revision within the classroom under the direct supervision of instructors. These would also enhance students' facility with locating and evaluating online sources for research and could also provide sites for immediate skill review exercises as needed. This is also an essential initiative if we are to implement the accelerated delivery of ENG 101 classes to students who would otherwise be placed in a developmental sequence. With the loss of the Tech Writing Lab, we could use two additional classroom carts.
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	Students will continue to work on writing and revision in outdated ways and be unable to take advantage of current research and review sources available to them. Currently, the facilities available for English department use (the Tech Writing Lab and Library) cannot continue to meet the ever-increasing technological needs of students f in these areas.
Department Goals	Continue to plan and implement course delivery to accelerate student progress toward academic goals, Expand the availability and use of new technology for student learning and support
