Goals taken from Campus Planning Web Page , with notes indented:

 

 

In order of priority, our goals are:

 

 

To significantly enhance and become recognized for the quality of our academic programs and the academic achievements of our faculty and students.

 

MikeC: Ok. This is pretty relevant. There's two pieces here: enhance and become recognized for.

 

Let's start with the 2nd point -- become recognized for the quality of our academic programs. Part of that is becoming visible. And to do that it means getting as much of our academic life out of the walled gardens as possible. I've started a page called Goal: Become Recognized for Our Academic Excellence to discuss this topic.

 

 

The second piece is to enhance the quality of our academic programs, and that's a harder discussion in some ways, because millions of pages have been spent on that subject ---

 

 

Three very important curricular initiatives, the move to a four-credit curriculum, the new general education program, and the service-learning initiative, will support this goal; the faculty is already fully engaged in these efforts.

 

MikeC: Two points: The relation to the new General Education program (and tangenetially 4 credit model) we will discuss in Goal: Integrative Learning. The Service Learning Initiativeis discussed in Goal: Service-Learning.

 

 

To clearly and continuously communicate our mission and values in all that we undertake, and to foster a strong sense of community on campus in pursuit of academic excellence.

 

MikeC: We discuss this in Goal: Foster Academic Community.

 

 

To invest in faculty and staff so they can provide leadership for the College's transformation.

 

 

MikeC: One way this relates to the goals is the need to train Faculty and Staff. But another aspect of it might be what we've started talking about in Scholarly Communication in the AT plan, that is the instruction of faculty in how to use Web 2.0/Network technologies to further their own professional ends. Based on this we might add another page.

 

 

 

To actively engage our students in a learning process that is grounded in service, citizenship, and ethical awareness.

MikeC: We've started a thing on this in Goal: Civic Engagement.

 

 

To provide high-quality academic programs that are affordable and accessible to a wide range of learners.

 

 

 

 MikeC: Want to leave this one for now -- I think the fiscal and accessibility aspect of net-enabled learning has been argued forcefully, maybe to the detriment of our focus on other areas. But what we do should not be costly, or put our education out of financial reach of our students. I don't think the job of Academic Tech is necessairly to make education cheaper though.
