Provide a brief
explanation describing the proposal, the need for this proposal for
instruction, the use of the requested technology by students in
instructional activities. Include the number of undergraduate or graduate
students that will directly benefit annually and the methodology for
calculating this number. If this is a collaborative request among
departments, identify departments, classes affected, etc. Please limit
description to no more than 250 words. Filemaker does not permit
formatting of text, so tabular data is not appropriate.
Example:
The Instructional Technology Support Center provides students with
University-wide access to 92 computers in three labs and a graduate
multimedia development center. In 2004, student walk-in visits to the labs
totaled 16,681 [18% Basic and Applied, 8% Business, 23%
Education/Behavioral Science, 13% Liberal Arts, 14% Mass Communication,
and 25% undeclared]. Faculty from four colleges scheduled 109 training
sessions, benefiting 2592 students. Twenty-four Education classes were
scheduled, enrolling 576 students. Our computer facilities are controlled
using three Dell servers (file, print, and DHCP) that are over five years
old. They are slow and crash frequently, causing domain and printer
failures. We propose purchasing one Dell server to replace these aging
servers. Students using LRC 101B are having difficulty multitasking due to
insufficient RAM on the 25 lab computers. We propose installing a 1 GB
module to upgrade each computer. The graduate multimedia center offered
video-editing capability, digital cameras, workshops, and individual
consultation during 523 student visits. Students have requested that we
(1) replace the center’s broken slide scanner, (2) replace the aging
monitors (over five years old) at the four multimedia development
stations, and (3) install a large format color printer for printing out
media for the presentations.
