New Draft - MHC Technology Plan

The MHC Technology Plan was brought to Presidents Council on May 24. The council will provide feedback and further scrutiny.  If all remains on schedule, the plan should be authorized in Early Autumn 2011. We are already working on some of the goals in the plan, with the assumption that at this point only details will change, and the two core focus areas of the plan will remain.

A Culture Shift:  IT for Better Teaching and Increased Efficiency

Much of the plan builds around two core focus areas:

1. Integrated Planning
2. Specialized Training and Support Services

The need to plan and provide IT related services in a more integrated manner across the College is an underlying theme, directly stated and implied in a number of the goals.

Improving Teaching and Learning

• Encouraging opportunities and providing support for faculty to use IT tools.

• A shift in the culture of information technology use towards the use of IT in pedagogical practice directed strongly by faculty towards the service of learners.
