EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY ADVISORY COMMITTEE (ETAC)
 
The primary function of ETAC would be to recommend the technology-related needs, resource requirements, and initiatives of academic units for the purpose of supporting executive decision-making. 

Toward this end, ETAC is charged with:  

  1. Becoming knowledgeable about the scope of academic computing applications and technology employed by campus organizations.
  2. Making recommendations on the efficacy of Information Technology support systems used by campus units – including hardware, software, networking, data structures, and management information systems (including Banner).
  3. Suggesting priorities for Academic Computing projects and initiatives such as Technology (SMART) Classroom, Faculty Technology Resource Center (FTRC), Faculty/Student Portals and Adaptive Technology etc.  Such as:
    • Long-range plans for academic and instructional computing for the University.
    • Instructional technology needs of the faculty and students.
    • Formal and informal opportunities for faculty development in the area of teaching, learning and technology.
    • On-going University initiatives regarding classroom design and upgrade.

The committee’s membership shall be comprised of representatives from all five schools, Faculty Senate Technology Subcommittee, Office of Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, Administration and Finance, and University Relations. The CIO, after consulting with the Vice President of Academic Affairs, will appoint the Chair of ETAC.

Recognizing that no technology initiative or system is stand-alone, the committee will encourage critical discourse that focuses on the best interests of the University as a whole.
