1) Approval of Minutes of 04-05-2001 meeting

A motion to approve the minutes was approved unanimously (motion by Dr. Rattan, second by Dr. Belch)

2) Guidelines for Reservations and Usage of the Computer Labs (Dr. Yost)

The subcommittee has continued to discuss this issue. A form and guidelines to accompany the form for requesting lab facilities is being designed. The committee will reconvene in the fall semester and complete their recommendations for the Technology Committee for the October 2001 meeting.

3) Continued Discussion of Use of Technology in Teaching (Dr. Butzow)

Dr. Butzow indicated he is not sure where to go with this issue. He noted that he still rarely sees any mention of use of technology in faculty observations.

Dr. Jackson suggested that members discuss the issues with department chairs. Dr. Dean suggested that Dr. Butzow request that use of technology be noted in observations. Dr. Guth suggested a survey could be conducted to see how faculty are currently using technology.

Dr. Yost will look into a survey that she is aware of that has already been developed.

This topic will be put on the October 2001 Technology Committee meeting agenda for further discussion.

4) Projected Technology Funding Plans for 2001-2002 (Dr. Butzow)

Dr. Butzow reported that Lloyd Onyett met with each of the department chairs and reviewed their requests for ESF funding for the upcoming year. He also indicated that some of the remaining funds from the current year will be used to purchase a server for student portfolios and purchase computers and projectors for more classrooms. Funds will also be used to remove the wall in the Graphics Lab. Funds will also be used to replace all of the computers on carts (we will reduce the number of carts to four, using the projection equipment from three of the carts for permanent installation in classrooms).

Dr. Butzow also indicated that a faculty member will be selected this summer who will assist with the development of NCATE materials. (Dr. Domaracki has agreed to serve in that role.)

5) New E-Mail Server Transition (Lloyd Onyett)

Lloyd Onyett briefly discussed the new E-Mail server that is being considered for the University. He will continue to keep the committee informed as progress is made.

The meeting was adjourned at 4:42pm.

The next meeting will be on September 6, 2001 at 3:30pm in Stouffer 109.
