SENATE RESOLUTION 0304-01: CHARGE CHANGE TO EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY AND DISTANCE EDUCATION UNIVERSITY COMMITTEE

Whereas: The current charge to the ETDE Committee is as follows:

“A multidisciplinary university committee to oversee educational technologies and distance education at UAH. Oversight is intended to include the planning, developing, coordinating, implementing (including training), disseminating, and evaluating of educational technologies and distance education on the UAH campus”, and

Whereas: The use of these technologies varies from department to department across campus, and

Whereas: New and exciting technologies are available which could add to the pedagogical variety of all UAH classes, and

Whereas: The promotion and dissemination of knowledge of these uses and available technologies could be more widespread on the campus, and

Whereas: It seems the purview of this committee to promote the use of electronic and distance technologies across campus.

Therefore Be It Resolved

That the wording of the charge be changed to:

“A multidisciplinary university committee to oversee educational technologies and distance education at UAH. Oversight is intended to include the planning, developing, coordinating, implementing (including training), disseminating, publicizing, and evaluating of educational technologies and distance education on the UAH campus”.

And Be It Further Resolved

That this word change will appear in all future listings of University Committees.
