Initiative Title	Multimedia Instructional Design Support Personnel
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	With the advent of increased Internet access to the College (100MB), the College migrating to enterprise level CMS via Angel (where now all SUNY Orange courses can have a web presence), the expectations of students expecting online content, and the increased capability of creating enhanced content for courses using video conferencing rooms, audio and video equipment, the College will experience a growth in digital, audio, video content to enhance teaching & training. Therefore the College will need to invest in the personnel to help and assist faculty in the development of enhanced/rich content for their courses and classroom needs. These personnel are what are known as “Multimedia Instructional Designers” (aka MIDs). The MIDs will assist in all aspects of supporting teaching/classroom technology and course enhancement. Duties will include: - Adaptation and maintenance of instructional content (digital, audio, video, etc.) - Support the faculty and CTL in using digital, audio, video hardware and software - Provide training opportunities for College faculty in using digital, audio, video hardware and software. There will not be a need to hire new personnel as MIDs, but rather there will be the need to retrain appropriate ITS personnel and update resources, i.e. equipment, software, licenses, work environments, etc. With the ITS Dept adopting the best practices of virtualization in the data center and on the desktop, will allow for the availability for ITS to support this venture.) Select ITS Dept personnel transition into the MIDs customer support area. ITS Dept personnel will need both specialized training and equipment to be successful and value-add as MIDs for SUNY Orange. This proposal calls for initially 3 people to be trained. These 3 people will then be required to train other ITS Dept/CTL/DL personnel at SUNY Orange (most likely PC Hardware Support related personnel) to become MIDs.
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	- Student expectations for on-line course content diminishes - the SUNY Orange brand becomes synonymous with "low/no tech" - More so now and into the future, students will expect more of their education to be on-line in some capacity. Good faculty / professors teach well in any environment, but will need assistance in meeting the demands of enhanced course content for their classes. - Studies have shown that for classes that have an on-line component, student outcomes are improved. Not having on-line content would result in lower grade/outcomes for students. - Lower grade/outcomes for students who are struggling may be benefited by online review of classes and course content. - Creativity of SUNY Orange faculty and support staff will hindered. - Not being prepared in the event of an emergency or disaster (for example if there were a pandemic flu outbreak). If all SUNY Orange courses have a corresponding course shell with appropriate content, instruction can continue (virtually) in the event of any emergency. Summary: Students benefit from the enhanced online and classroom experience of digital content. By not funding this initiative, faculty will become frustrated trying to enhance their online and classroom curricula without the use of digital content which would impact both student outcomes and retention.
