3) College Technology Plan (Onyett, Guth, Lenze)

The Technology Plan subcommittee distributed a copy of the revisions they made, including a new column titled “Means for Goal Attainment”. The committee discussed the revisions and voted unanimously (motion by Dr. Lenze, second by Dr. Bieger) to approve the revisions and forward the plan to the Department Chair Council for final approval.

4) Technology Issues and Concerns from Departments

No items were brought up at the meeting.

5) Informational Items (Onyett)

a. Davis Lab Move to Davis 109 from B23

Tables and chairs have been ordered for Davis 109. The computers will be moved from Davis B23 to Davis 109 during the semester break in May, and Davis B23 will be converted back to a large lecture hall.

b. Graphics Lab Computers

Twenty four new computers have been ordered for the Graphics Lab (two of the computers will be instructor stations and the rest will be for the student stations, increasing the number of computers by two in the lab). The Graphics Lab computers will be replaced during the semester break in May.

c. Portfolio Server

Lloyd indicated that ACPAC has endorsed our proposal to move the responsibility of the Portfolio Server to the TSC, since electronic portfolios are required for many students outside of the College of Education and Educational Technology. Other disciplines are beginning to require electronic portfolios by their students. TSC will now review the proposal and determine how and when to take over management of the services. The proposal calls for expansion of the H drive space of students to accommodate their portfolio files, and also provides a process for students to request additional space if needed for their portfolio files.

The meeting was adjourned at 3:27pm.

The meeting was opened in Stouffer 104 at 2:00pm.
