Computing Steering Committee Minutes
of Meetings: Present: All members present 1. Review of last week's minutes 2. Discussion of technology-related budget priorities to be presented to Trustees on February 18. Dave Cossey raised concerns about the potential cost of an internet access upgrade. Doug Klein stressed that the figures presented were proposals only, not yet funded. The issue of a central IT acquisition budget was raised, but will require further discussion. 3. Advising proposal overview. Doug Klein presented an overview of the report from the Advising Working Group. The proposal outlines a plan for combining advisor training, a central facility (Becker Hall) and a centralized database system (through the Datatel system) could create a seamless advising network for all of our students. John Boyer and Cherrice Traver stressed the need for early action to involve faculty in designing the desired functionality of any new advising and registration system. We will discuss these logistics at greater length next week. 4. Discussion of the faculty recognition and reward for
efforts to increase the use of technology in teaching and learning. Next meeting: next week, same time, same place. |
