12. May 15, 2008 Dear Faculty, As part of our ongoing effort to insure a meaningful educational experience for our students, we are developing the following policy concerning multitasking and its distracting effects. Please review and respond within the requested time frame. Policy to eliminate obstacles to learning Pursuant to recently reported research concerning the detrimental effects of multitasking on true, meaningful learning, the following policy is being developed. Upon entering a college classroom, laboratory, lecture hall, or any other learning space, students will deposit all cell phones, PDAs, Blackberries, MP3 players, and any other electronic communication/information devices in secure containers at the front of the room, for retrieval class. All college computer servers will be configured to block access to facebook, myspace, youtube, xanga, and other online social networks. All college computer servers will be configured to block access to web-hosted game sites and similar entertainment networks. Cable television service in campus housing, including common areas, will be discontinued. Comments on the proposed policy will be accepted for the next 30 days, and will be considered in the development of the final policy. Implementation will be scheduled during the time when classes are not in session, to minimize disruption. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
