|
|
Short Term:

·
|
To introduce and use a more sophisticated and
thorough registration and reporting program which reflects the range of
Academic Commons' services (Goal 1).

and readily available information for administration, faculty, students and
special services as needed for the welfare of students and to gather FTE,
ADA, and research information (Goal 1).
|
|
|

To model and teach other departments alternative

two-way videoconferencing and satellite exchange between faculty and classes
