Instructional Technology Commitment Process
Step 1: Faculty identify specific instructional technology dependencies for a course using this form. For each specific technology, the user type (faculty or student), location(s) of use and frequency of use are identified. Instructors are also encouraged to identify anticipated future instructional technology dependencies. Faculty sends the completed form to Rick Thibeault for processing.
Step 2: Technology services staff provides a feasibility and cost analysis to the instructor, department and Academic Affairs office. Technology services staff identifies the instructional technologies they can commit to and those for which additional resources are necessary.
Step 3: The instructor and/or department coordinator, Academic Affairs and technology services, using the feasibility and cost analysis, agree on appropriate commitments. Note: the commitment may also require approval under the Plus Service policy. Commitments are documented in the Instructional Technology Commitments Database, which is available online.
Step 4: Technology Services deliver and support the committed-to technologies.
