Facility/Technology Upgrade of BATCAVERN (BT 155)



Initiative TitleFacility/Technology Upgrade of BATCAVERN (BT 155)
Submitted in Previous Year(s)No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, RationalePurchase 8 computers with Windows XP and loaded with Office 2007. This represents an upgrade of approximately one-half of the computers at student work/study stations in this Learning Center used by Biology and Health Profession's students. Current computers have Windows 95 operating systems and will not continue to support user needs.
Consequences of this initiative not being fundedBATCAVER (BT 155) served over 5,000 students during AY 09 through AY 09 providing a computerized environment where students can do online research, review course material, view virtual anatomic models/dissections, take self-assessment tests for concept review, engage in small study groups or receive tutoring. Currently, the f acility has 15 operative student computer/Internet stations none of which are equipped with operating systems newer than Windows 95. In short, our "state of the art" students learning lab is becoming antiquated and cannot adequately support the range of uses for which it is intended.
