Initiative Title | Portable Computers |

Submitted in Previous Year(s) | No |
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | The age of portable computing is here. The goal of the Global Studies department, is, ultimately, to unshackle our faculty from the fetters of their desktops. We need Ipads-- or whatever portable tablets the college deems most effective in purchasing-- in terms of price, features and maintenance. In effect we have already begun with the purchase of Kindles, already being used to good academic effect, though their limitatations are clear. We need portability, durability, and real time access to the Cloud for use of Banner, Angel, college website, relevant internet sites, Word, etc, etc. I propose a pilot of five units for high users in the department, and that after the first year of use we report our findings to other departments, so they can eventually move in this direction. The PC is dead; long live portability. |
