2 computer carts furnished with 25 lap tops each for Harriman and Kaplan classrooms



Initiative Title2 computer carts furnished with 25 lap tops each for Harriman and Kaplan classrooms
Submitted in Previous Year(s)2017
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Students will continue to work on writing and revision in outdated ways and be unable to take advantage of current research and review sources available to them.  Our progress toward implementing Integrated Reading & Writing and an ALP model of Freshman English 101 will be compromised. 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.
