Strategic Issues Beyond 2003/04

• Transfer the teaching infrastructure (and Cal
  Poly culture in general) to support rather than
  continue ignorance or suppress technological
  accomplishments of ITS
• Teachers need to take active role in conveying
  how technology is a tool for students education
  and where these tools are.
• Many constituent suggestions include
• Faculty should learn and implement blackboard.
• Professors should announce location of labs, they
  or lab assistants should introduce labs,
  equipment, resource info in intro major classes.
• Post ITS labs in tours and on maps. Post lab
  hours and locations every quarter in class
  schedule.
• Create a Portal tab for tech.
• In short, change the Cal Poly culture to
  encourage tech use. If info distributed through
  teachers, all Cal Poly collateral material, etc.,
  tech will be engrained in culture.
