Initiative Title	Technology; Provide State of the Art Instructional Technology in Classroom, Laboratories and For All Faculty Along With Training
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	Innovations and technology are dramatically impacting both the design and delivery of curriculum and programs and the way in which we communicate information with our students and colleagues as noted as one of the five common themes cited in the AMP. To better serve our students, classrom and laboratory based technology upgrades are of critical importance. At present, a number of faculty and staff within the department are working with obsolete computers and our existent "smart cart" technology is aging and unable to accommodate certain programatic formats. The Biology Department also has a need for non-computer related technologies/tools such as; ELMO (visual presenter) and microvideo systems for particular use in laboratory sessions in order to better present details of anatomic, histologic and cytologic specimens.
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	The Faculty and students will not have optimum access to a broad range of instructional modalities. It will be difficult to produce/display presentations with MPG video sequences or presentations requiring larger amount of cyberspace. In the laboratory lack of microvideo presentation technology will limit the instructor's ability to point out the microscopic structure of cells, tissues and organs in a consistent, expedient fashion so that all students have a common understanding of the material. In a similar manner, lack of video presentation technology, i.e. ELMO, would negatively impact the ability of an instructor to communicate appropriate detail relative to three dimensional specimens, such as anatomical dissections, plant and animal structures.
