We reviewed the suggested items for consideration for Technology Goals for 2001-2002 that were distributed by Lloyd Onyett. There was extensive discussion and the committee made suggested revisions and additions for consideration at the April 5, 2001 meeting. This topic will be a major item for discussion and possible adoption at the April 5 meeting.

 

3)    Draft Statement on Use of Technology in Teaching – Continued Discussion (Dr. Butzow and Dr. Belch)

Dr. Butzow distributed several points (see below) to consider for discussion about faculty responsibilities in the area of technology. There was extensive discussion about the points and it was agreed that the committee should continue discussion of this topic at the May 3, 2001 meeting.

 

What should we be thinking about faculty responsibilities in the area of technology?

§Is technology something to be used or is it part of the curriculum?

§If technology is part of the curriculum, is there anything to be gained by studying the standards or guidelines of professional associations and learned societies relevant to each program, to determine what technology should be included in the curriculum?

§Who should be held accountable for the curriculum in times between major visits from accreditation teams and PDE reviews?


 

The meeting was adjourned at 4:45pm.
 
 

The next meeting will be on April 5, 2001 at 3:30pm in Stouffer 109.
