In addition, the committee will improve student access to services via technology,
including the implementation of responsive web pages, focused application development,
supporting technology and applications through the college website, and the leveraging of
social media to enhance education.
Goal 3: Deeper research into student success and subsequent responses
(i.e. actions taken to facilitate improvement)
The committee will continually collect and analyze data to guide the enrichment of the
student experience through technology.
The committee will also research and implement as appropriate emerging device-
independent technologies that improve student access to services and explore the
integration of such technologies through the website, research and work to implement
device-independent technologies that improve student access and equity, faculty and staff
email and the course management system.
Goal 4: Professional Development
Notably, technology training was one of the most requested services in the recent
technology survey and a theme in questions 4, 5, 8, 15 and 17. The Technology
Committee will cultivate a culture in which technology training is seen as beneficial for all
employees, supporting and endorsing regular onsite staff and faculty training opportunities
that are equity-focused, support student success and improve workflow efficiencies.
Feedback on training needs and sessions will be provided by the committee. Topics will
include a focus on accessibility with particular attention to online and written documents,
videos and other learning tools.
