| Initiative Title | Internet Computer Station with Printer for Newburgh BATCAVERN |
|---|
| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | 2016 |
|---|
| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | Equipping/Installing a computer station with internet access and printer would markedly enhance student learning/tutoring sessions due to convenient access to Blackboard and other web-based resources. Currently such access, while available in the Newburgh library, requires students/tutors to relocate venues on a continuing basis causing interruption and confusion. Our decision to add 'Diversity of Life' (BIO 141), evening sections of A & P I & II (BIO 111,112) and to develop Floricultural offerings at Newburgh increase the need to provide enhanced support services to students at the Newburgh BATCAVERN. Students in our Middletown BATCAVERN already have access to such venue-specific stations. |
|---|
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Students taking 'Introduction to Biology' (BIO 110), or A & P I, II (BIO 111,112) will not have access to instructor generated materials on "Blackboard" during study and/or tutoring sessions. This could have critical impact on student success in the courses and their ability to pursue further training in the health professions. |
