ACADEMIC COMPUTING SERVICES
Objectives:
To support faculty in their efforts to teach courses having computer-related content, using appropriate computer-based instructional methods.
To support faculty and students in their efforts to produce professional documents and work faster and smarter than ever before in the work environment.
ACS recognizes the need for faculty and student to have on-going access to training, with emphasis on:
ACS will institute prerequisites for most of the workshops to encourage clients to have the needed skills before attempting certain workshops. This policy will allow each participant to reap the total benefits of each workshop. These workshops, some extending beyond introductory material, will provide participants with the skills required to become proficient users of a particular software package in the least amount of time.
The approach used in these workshops takes the faculty and student beyond the data-entry level of computing. Theory and the use of essential electronic tools are stressed at every level of instruction, thus preparing participants to professionally manage their own electronic information systems - to work smart, be knowledgeable, know alternatives, and identify solutions. The goal of this development series is to turn out faculty who can return to their offices and draw upon their classroom hands-on experience, their personal notes, theory learned, and the class guides provided to them, to successfully reproduce the procedures in their own environment and with their own real-world work.
Through evaluation procedures, ACS will incorporate quality assurance in its workshops. Following each session, participants will be asked to complete a specially designed questionnaire focusing on workshop content, objectives, and presentation. Using a scale of one to five, with one being positive and five being negative, analysis can show continued quality control.
