Intermediate and Short Term Priorities

The PPCIT decided to consider setting key technology priorities while the strategic plans are still evolving. The potential issues identified were:

• private internet service for off campus users;
• sale of long distance phone service to off campus students and alumni;
• administrative software package;
• lease/acquisition of PCs;
• long distance phone service for off-campus students and others;
• Internet Service Provider;
• complete the network;
• technology training for incoming students;
• campus wide information system;
• expansion of data access and decision support system;
• universal access to e-mail;
• e-mail as an acceptable medium of communication;
• friendly classrooms (multi-media classrooms);
• ability to fund large technology projects;
• the decision to exempt some students from paying "mandatory" fees (computer and health) and not others;
• technology as discipline-specific tools versus technology in delivery of instruction and student learning;
• supporting technology in PLS;
• the quality of computing technology on campus; and
• how technology improves learning.
