Presentation given at PCC's Distance Learning Advisory Council, discussing ideas how our process of technology identification and selection can be improved.
4. Current Selection Process
- Ad Hoc - Driven by Immediate Demands
- Localized Review of Tools
- Redundant Applications & Support
- Lack of a Systematic Process of Evaluation
- Lack of a Global Institutional Perspective
5. Software Adoption Review Council
- Involvement from TSS, CSS/DL, & Instructors
- Multi- Campus Representation
- Systematic Vetting Process
- Time Line of Review & Adoption
- IMPROVE SUPPORT & COMMUNICATION!
9. Questions We Face :
- How should instructors be involved in the software selection
process?
- What immediate needs if any are not being met by our current
toolkit?
- How do we identify communities of practice for each tool at PCC?
- Additional points to consider?
