IV. General Statement of Department Condition
Media and Instructional Technology Department members continue to be effective teachers face-to-face and with multiple distance technologies, provide extensive leadership in mentoring and training faculty, students, and administrators in the use of media and instructional technology in the classroom, and provide outstanding service to the department, College of Education and University.
Continuous evaluations demonstrate the department delivers quality face-to-face and distance programs to our diverse students. In addition, faculties in the department are viewed as extremely knowledgeable, student-centered, and caring.
This past year the enrollment in our program increased by 25%. The department did not have sufficient full time faculty to cover our program needs but were able to employ highly successful media specialists in our region as adjuncts when needed. The addition of two new faculty members this next year will enable to department to meet its instructional and professional needs.
The elimination of GSAMS from our program the end of fall semester will facilitate the use of more and varied on-line technologies in all of our classes, especially the Media curriculum. Faculty will be required to become proficient on-line teachers and use WebCT and other technologies more extensively in courses to maintain our current distance program. Some of our newer faculty members and our newly hired faculty will need to receive more in-depth training on the design, implementation, and evaluation of on-line classes.
