50 lap top computers and carts for Harriman classrooms



Initiative Title50 lap top computers and carts for Harriman classrooms
Submitted in Previous Year(s)No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale

in order to increase student competency and success in both writing and research, two 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.   

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Students will continue to work on writing and revision in outdated ways and be unable to take advantage of current research and review sources available to them.  In addition, the Tech Writing Lab and Library cannot continue to meet the ever-increasing needs of students for assistance in these areas.
