President Kress noted in her Wednesday message this week that “ETS is working with a consulting group that will evaluate MCC’s ability to respond to the growing technology expectations presented by our students, faculty, and staff.” The first visit to MCC by four technology consultants from Moran Consulting (Naperville, Illinois) will take place from February 14 through February 17, 2011.
Over 25 meetings for targeted groups have been set up, and four Open Forums have been scheduled to gather input from the College community. These include:
Brighton Campus Open Forum #1: Tues. Feb 15, 1:00pm - 2:00pm, Empire Room
Brighton Campus Open Forum #2: Wed. Feb. 16, 3:00pm - 5:00, Empire Room
DCC Campus Open Forum #1: Wed. Feb. 16, noon to 1:00pm, Room 4193
DCC Campus Open Forum #2: Wed. Feb. 16, 2:30pm - 3:30pm, Room 4193
The technology consultants are using nine of the scenarios identified in the Serving Students Best (SSB) report as a framework for their technology review (see attachment). It is anticipated that the consultants will make two more visits to MCC and will present a draft report by the end of March.
