Initiative Title | Classroom Technology Upgrades |
---|---|
Submitted in Previous Year(s) | No |
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | We are looking to build on the success of the technology upgrade done in Harriman. We will be starting with a Proof of Concept (POC) room in BioTech to put in place technology to meet current demands and build towards the future. The global pandemic has taught us that we need more blended teaching environments. Once we have gained valuable feedback from faculty and administrators, we will proceed with applying what we have learned to further areas on the Middletown and Newburgh campuses. The end result will provide rooms that can be utilized for multiple methods of instruction to meet the current pandemic needs of student attendance in person and remote as well as an environment conducive for instructors to lead their remote classes from a more historically acceptable environment. While we will not meet the full HyFlex technology requirements, the agility to grow utilizing the hardware for this initiative is built into the plan. There is allowable use of CARES Act funding for this project. |
Consequences of this initiative not being funded | The consequence of this initiative not being funded will be the continued decline of the classroom technology available to instructors and students. I feel it necessary to point out that this is not due to the continued work that is being done at the college but due to the pace that technology advances. If we do not continue to bring updated technology into these spaces, the age of the technology by itself causes the decline in services possible. |

|
Having outdated technology in the classroom limits the possible avenues of instruction and learning. It also limits the growth potential for learning newer technologies of both students and staff. |
|
Adding updated technology will reduce the complexity of the learning and meeting environments allowing for expanded use. |
