Clearly, a CUNY faculty member's access to networked computers, like those of the students she teaches, will vary with her college and her departmental affiliation. Paper remains the medium of choice for almost all intra-campus correspondence. The majority of campuses do not have campus-wide data networks. Of those that do, barely half are connected to anywhere off their own campus. Faculty Training and Support Most responding campuses offer some kind of technology training for faculty.
Participation is voluntary in what are typically brief, one-session workshops.
At one or two campuses, however, extensive, year-long initiatives on integrating World Wide Web content into core curricula are under way. Workshops offered by the CUNY Office of Computing and Information Services have provided training sessions to thousands of faculty from all campuses. They have focused primarily on jump-starting faculty development projects in courseware authoring and Internet publication. Once embarked, faculty working on instructional technology projects seem to be doing so, for the most part, on their own. Relatively little operating budget support is provided for in-house development projects, and few staff positions exist to offer support to those seeking help with technology.
