Initiative Title | 3 computer carts furnished with 25 lap tops each for Harriman and Kaplan classrooms |
---|---|
Submitted in Previous Year(s) | 2021 |
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | in order to increase student competency and success in both writing and research, portable computer 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. Though we already have seven carts with 16 Chromebooks each, an additional 3 carts - with printers - would help replace the lost Tech Writing Lab space. |
Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Students will continue to work on writing and revision in outdated ways and be unable to take advantage of current research and review sources available to them.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. |
Department Goals | Expand the availability and use of new technology for student learning and support. |

AVP recognizes that BT 260 was a computer lab resource used by some faculty within the English Dept. Laptop carts would bring the "computer lab" to any classroom being used.
