Linda Hawbaker should be invited to the CTC meeting to give a report on the Student Information Commission, the group developing our new student information system. A community open house is being planned for late April to showcase all our new construction for faculty, students, and the community at large. A number of really old MACS were sent to salvage. Also have recently purchased one new digital camera that is available for checkout from the farm. If there are other technology items that you think would enhance student learning and understanding, contact Karen Schwalm about possible purchase for faculty to check out and use in class, etc.
Usage is up and students are working very hard.
Sue Murry thanked those instructors who refer knowledgeable students to the HTC for possible hire. IAs are still needed, particularly needing to find additional support for programming and more advanced web courses. Evenings and weekends seem to be times when this support is really short. Send prospects to Carmen Rivenburg or Jess Alcantar, both have an office in HT2. The proposal is to upgrade server capacity and software immediately after spring semester and before Summer I starts.
