Improve Technology for Honors Program: including SmartBoard, projector, clicker system, new computers



Initiative TitleImprove Technology for Honors Program: including SmartBoard, projector, clicker system, new computers
Submitted in Previous Year(s)2010-11
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, RationaleCurrently, students are working with mostly refurbished computers from other departments: they are very slow. New laptop needed for the support person and four new desk tops for the lab to meet program growth. Two of the latter should be Macs to meet student needs and departments. Add smart board to allow faculty to work with technology that is more in-line with current educational insitutions. Futhermore, the cart system currently in the room is insufficient and too cumbersome to use. Add clicker system. See above.
Consequences of this initiative not being fundedFaculty, students and seasonal employee are not working at capacity as the equipment is often down nor are they developing skills used in the workplace and in transfer schools as the equipment is so old and out of date. Faculty cannot present course materials in the most efficient and effective manner. Classtime is also lost trying to set up equipment.

Prioritization Notes

Level 4 (PBIE Committee)

This initiative to support the technology needs of the Honors Program includes the replacement of desktop computers and improvements to the Honors Classroom. The existing desktop computers used by both the staff and students in the program are frequently in need of repair. The Honors classroom also has outdated presentation technology as compared to other classrooms on campus. This initiative supports the College’s Academic Master Plan.
