TLTR Meeting

October 1, 1999

Minutes

This upcoming year should be a year of activities, rather than planning/assessment. Last year, we did a good job assessing where we are and the resources we have available. We also need to communicate soon to the faculty about our discoveries and ask them to take part in discussions/planning about where we are going.

This year, we would like to “kick off” with a Technology Day in December after classes are out, when faculty are not otherwise distracted by classes. We will invite all to participate, but understand that because of schedules, some individuals will not be able to participate. This situation would be the same if we choose to have the Technology Day during the quarter as well.

Some of the things we would like to cover during the Technology Day include:

Where we have been

Outside speaker

Planning for the future

An opportunity for faculty input

We should survey faculty in advance to see what issues they would like covered or what they think the issues are.

A letter should go out now signed by all members of the TLTR (to show faculty involvement).

Issues as TLTR member see them:

CD Rom with textbooks

Distance education

Demands on computer labs

Standardized equipment

Core curriculum – computer competency

Leadership role for technology on campus
