Academic Year 10-11 Committee Input Technology and Distance Learning Committee

Hello everyone,

After today's faculty meeting, Alan and I thought it might be helpful for all of you to take a look at the committee charge that was approved last year when the committee was formed.

First, let me say that the official name of the committee last year was Technology and Distance Learning Committee instead of Instructional Technology as is listed on the hand out we received today.



The charge that was adopted last year and approved by the dean was:



The Technology and Distance Learning Committee recognizes the importance of technology in the educational arena and endeavors to consider, evaluate, recommend and promote best practices in instructional technology, classroom technology and other technical assets that serve the mission of the faculty and students at Ohio University Lancaster.



In addition, we created a blog for the committee last year that we used to communicate.

The link to the blog is: http://techanddlcommittee.blogspot.com/



We posted meeting minutes and information on the blog.





If the charge is agreeable to everyone, we still need to decide the following:



1. Chair for this year

2. Rotation of members





I will post this email on the blog. Please comment on your willingness to be chair and your ideas on term limits/rotation of members on the committee.



For now, I will be glad to monitor the blog and report our agreement on the Committee form to Janet before Oct 27.



Thanks

Deb
