Decision Parameters
Supplementing, rather than supplanting, institutional support for academic, instructional, and learning technologies, and
Supporting “general, learning purpose” technology resources (i.e., laboratories and technologies utilized by or affecting a large percentage of the student population before those for a small percentage of the student population), and
Supporting direct access before mediated access (i.e., technologies directly utilized by students for learning before those employed by faculty and staff to deliver instructional or other services to students), and
Supporting academic or instructional technologies before non-academic or non-instructional technologies, and
Supporting the use, maintenance, or upgrade of existing instructional, learning, and technological resources before investing in new ones, and
Encouraging a continued and enhanced pursuit of traditional funding from CUNY, the LaGuardia Foundation, federal, state, local and private sources.
What follows in detailed format are the recommended expenditures for the upcoming year, placed in the context of how all technology funds are projected to be spent over the next three years. In each case, a general category of expenditure is followed by more specific line-by-line purchase recommendations. If all of the recommendations are approved, student access to computers will increase by 26%, over 50% of the student labs will be upgraded, lab operation time for student use will increase by 180% on the weekends, 80% more students will be hired as technology tutors, and many more faculty will have access to training and technology within the classroom.
