1. Tale of Two Committees James P. Frazee Director, Instructional Technology Services November 22, 2004

2. Two Distinct “Technology” Needs Typical / likely issues related to: Instructional Technology –Focus on faculty and teaching/research –Not primarily about the technology, and it shouldn’t be –Involves instructional design, development, implementation and evaluation that takes advantage of technology Information Technology –Touches much more than instructional technology –Affects all campus stakeholders –Requires immediate attention

3. New and Expanding Uses of Instructional Technology Facing Us Growing amount of issues that the committee will need to address –Sample Instructional Technology Committee Agenda Items Distributed Learning (new pedagogical strategies related to teaching hybrid and solely online courses) Audio and Video Conferencing/Streaming Teleconferencing Closed Circuit Television and video-over-IP Course Management Systems eLearning Databases Large Lecture Halls Audience Response Systems Smart Classrooms Learning objects Plagiarism Detection Copyright / Intellectual Property Protection Faculty Awareness, Professional Development, and Support (for all of the above issues)

4. New and Expanding Uses of Information Technology Facing Us Growing amount of issues that the committee will need to address –Sample Information Technology Committee Agenda Items Virus Protection Network Infrastructure Automated Patching Piracy Technology Fees Privacy Wireless Single Sign On Hardware and Software Standards / Data Reporting Server Management Paid Printing Email Use Acceptable Use SPAM Databases 508/ADA Compliance

5. Final Thoughts Why the Senate needs two separate committees: The items on the Information Technology sample agenda are more mission critical than ever before High profile Information Technology issues might actually have more chance of landing us on the front page:-/ We should not short change either instructional technology or information technology issues by not giving them full attention to each Overlap between some issues requires cross-fertilization between committees (i.e., ITS, CCS, and ITSO representatives/advisors are needed on both)
