The group has additionally begun to serve as computer-use mentors in their departments. Although the group met almost weekly after November, none of the persons involved received reassigned time. This effort is of at least ten year standing. In addition, the CTE effort includes new faculty orientation that discusses the nuts-and bolts issues of faculty life. In contrast to other such efforts, it is carried on through several sessions over a number of weeks.
Some departments have in-house orientation sessions for new faculty as well.
Other departments have created a committee to handle these sessions. In the future, mentoring is planned as well. About three years ago, faculty made suggestions for teacher evaluation. This has since been developed.
