CTS Report

  • Lots of administrative application support, we will have Eric Goodnough talk at the next meeting about these projects. A new project is Financial Aid, which we think will be operational by the end of the calendar year.

  • Student evaluations, we will have a new tool.  Moving it from the ad hoc way and moving it to AEFIS.  Putting a plan together and moving that tool which will be part of our assessment.  We are considering implementing a small pilot in December.

  • Office moves for a number of departments.  ORSP is moving to Sheldon in the coming week.  Lots of preparation and work with the moves.

  • Nicole has been looking into how we start planning Faculty Computer Replacements.  We have pre-ordered some equipment,since  it is currently taking a few months for delivery. The VAP announcement will be coming out shortly.

    • Kathi - Our campus Learning Management System team will be importing BB courses into D2L

    • Sean - SUNY is looking at this as a way to unify the environment that we teach in. They are looking for us to have a common set of tools. We are lucky that we have an outstanding team working on this with lots of experience. We will be able to navigate the move and be stronger in the end..

    • Kathi elaborated more on the tools that we currently have and we will be able to continue to use those tools.  Will be able to continue to use Panopto
