Submitted in Previous Year(s)2020
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale

Chalk boards are outdated. While the Newburgh Campus has white boards - which are far easier for instructors to use - many of the Middletown Campus classrooms continue to have only chalk boards, which are not as clean or easy to use. The addition of smart seating will facilitate class discussions as well as make students more comfortable - and therefore more likely to learn. Smart projectors would minimize the time in which an instructor's back is to the class. Additionally, many instructors frequently show PPTs, slides, notes, movies, clips, etc...; HDMI projectors and room-darkening shades would enhance students' ability to see what is projected on the board. Finally, several faculty have also asked for ladybug cameras and Aquos boards for interactive display of materials.

Consequences of this initiative not being funded

Instructors have issues with technology and the lack of it. Without updating, instructors will not be as able to meet the diverse and changing needs of our student population.
