E.T.C. Serves Student Learning Initiatives

The Edison Technology Committee will soon begin its third year of serving the Edison community. An outgrowth and refinement of the Teaching, Learning, and Technology Roundtable, the E.T.C. is a collaborative arena for monitoring technology trends and adapting the best of the available technology tools to student learning needs. Committee members come from virtually every area of the College and share the common goal of improving the learning experience for Edison's student stakeholders.

Over the past two years the committee has also assisted administrators in acquiring significant new grant funding for technology initiatives. As an example, the  E.T.C. assisted committee members Dr. Sharon Robinson and Mary Beth Aust-Keefer in preparing and implementing the Regional Learning Network grant. The grant funded significant new additions to the Edison technology infrastructure that make possible live video-conferencing as well as the creation and transmission of recorded streaming media presentations.

Within the past year faculty member proposals have led to the creation of Edison's new Wireless Zone, an e-Document strategy, and the I.T.S. information sharing initiative. Committee members look forward to having new initiatives brought forth, debated, and recommended for adoption during the committee's third year of deliberation.

Committee meeting dates and times are published on the Edison I.T.S. Web site and in the Customer Service Update. Interested members of the Edison community are welcome to attend.
