These iPads would be purchased and dedicated exclusively to
student use in the Student Academic Services office before, during, and after
advising appointments. In addition,
these devices would be used during group advising events and new student
orientation sessions. Student Academic
Services in the College of Arts and Letters assists approximately 4,500
students with majors in the college as well as a significant student population
pursuing double majors, minors and/or certificates with primary majors in other
colleges. At present, 10 advisors work
with students to meet academic planning needs in four separate building spaces
spanning 2 campuses. As a result, the
need for Student Academic Services to have multiple modalities for assisting
students with completion of advising-related tasks is imperative and
increasing.
Uses for these iPads include:
At present, there is no accessible computer lab space available on a consistent basis for this type of activity and use. The ability to access spaces is intermittent and dependent on class scheduling as first priority. In addition, even when possible, reservation of a computer lab space poses geographic challenges for advisors located in other buildings and campuses. Obtaining iPads for departmental use will provide the access to technology as needed without negatively impacting scheduling or being subject to availability of classroom spaces. In addition, this mobility will allow advisors to have access to much needed information and facilitate student completion of tasks immediately. Advisors can then also show students visual images of resources available including other departmental and University websites regardless of physical location.
This proposal to use technology fees to provide iPads to student use in advising-related activities, fostering a dynamic, technology-rich, interactive dialogue for
student engagement, enrollment, and retention is directly related to Strategic
Plan Goal #5: Building a State of the Art Technology Environment.
As this equipment would alleviate the burden of utilizing computer labs
and other spaces that would more appropriately be allocated to classes
planning, this proposal is also aligned with Strategic Plan Goal #6 Enhancing
the Physical Environment.
