Technology
planning is a general term that encompasses a number of
services. For instance, using technology to enhance student
learning may require the purchase of new hardware and software.
Consultants can lend their technical expertise to help faculty
members identify and acquire the technology they need to
meet educational objectives. One case illustrates this type
of service quite well. A pair of professors from the Foreign
Language Department is designing a project for their Spanish
History course, which requires students to create a multimedia
presentation. This will involve the purchase of a multimedia
workstation. Technical consultants met with Foreign Language
professors to determine their needs and were able to recommend
the purchase of necessary hardware and software with very
detailed information about the specifications of the various
components.
