Illinois should draw upon its technological expertise to provide its students, faculty and other constituents with the full advantages of communication in the information age.
Goals Move toward universal access to high-speed networks for faculty, students and staff.
Improve the campus's practices for budgeting and financing our technological support structure. This has become a major recurring expense and should be treated as such. Take full advantage of existing and new learning technologies in delivering instruction. This campus was a pioneer in the development of interactive computer-based education. The exploration and development of new technologies for undergraduate instruction afford continuing opportunities to capitalize on the strength of this tradition and the expertise of the faculty to reach large numbers of our own undergraduates, while providing a model that would be capable of replication in other settings around the nation.
