Addressed will be the implications for both large and small institutions, as well as research and liberal arts institutions, including both technical and non-technical considerations. Material will include political and economic barriers and a summary of current regional and national initiatives.
Many faculty now promote teaching with technology, but little has been done to assess the impact.
Learn about assessment techniques used at large and small schools, review tools that have been used by the presenters and critique their results, learn how to devise tools for use at your own institution. This seminar is designed for IT professionals, library and information specialists and faculty charged with integrating technology into instruction. This seminar will be of particular interest to anyone who is interested in building or overseeing a CWIS system, and to those concerned about information flow at their institutions. Our ability to measure our performance against customer-defined characteristics or quality indicators will enable us to compete more successfully for customers, continuously improve our services, and demonstrate accountability to higher education administration. Workshop participants will gain practical experience applying various measurement techniques, and have the opportunity to share experiences with colleagues.
