Institutional Goals
| Goal |
How will the initiative support this institutional goal? |
- COLLEGE GOALS as of 2011
- 5. To offer opportunities to learn with a dedicated and diverse faculty and staff who value excellence in teaching, service to students, creative collaboration and continuous improvement.
|
Through the use of an expanded number of faculty who are utilizing multimedia equipment in the creation of content, an increased level of collaboration and innovation will surely follow. The experiences of participating faculty and staff could also be shared through professional development opportunities and conversations within the Center for Teaching and Learning in order to promote the use of these tools. |
- ACADEMIC MASTER PLAN 2016-2020
- Virtualization
- Objective #2: Initiate fully online degrees as a means of expanding access, increasing enrollment and supporting student success.
|
An equipment loaning program will assist with several of the objectives within the Virtualization theme of the 2015-2020 Academic Master Plan, including:
S1: Identify and increase courses amenable to the online, hybrid or blended
format in order to provide additional flexibility and scheduling options.
S2: Identify, communicate and minimize department-specific obstacles to online teaching and learning.
S3: Identify additional faculty to teach hybrid and/or online courses.
The availability of additional multimedia equipment such as video cameras and microphones will assist faculty interested in creating digital audio and video content in the development of new online, hybrid and face to face courses as well as the development of a future online degree. An expanded number of faculty utilizing this equipment will expedite some of the obstacles to teaching with new formats and encourage innovation and experimentation with course content. |
- ACADEMIC MASTER PLAN 2016-2020
- Virtualization
- Objective #3: Increase online course offerings (new course, additional section, or course conversion) by at least 10% per year to allow greater access to educational opportunities and become more competitive.
