Business Items
Promotional ideas (see attached image)*
Lee
Lee reminded council members that Lee, Misty and Creative Services can assist with ideas to promote
programs. He asked that council members remind faculty to utilize their services. Program information
can be formatted and posted on digital signage. Video services are available through Lee’s office and
creative services. Contact Lee and Misty for assistance with promoting college programs.
KL 102 Policy Revision *
Lee
Lee asked the Council to review policy language updates which require KL 102 classroom usage
requests to occur prior to the R25 classroom placement run. Additional placements may be made after
this process on a first come, first serve basis if the room is available. The Council discussed placement
decisions based on use of technology and class size. Lee will send an email to the College notifying
faculty that applications are due for the fall 2013 schedule. A motion was made and seconded to accept
the draft policy as written. The motion passed unanimously.
Technology Infrastructure Strategic Planning Input
Lee
Lee asked the Council for input related to strategic planning for the university technology services.
Items discussed were a need to effectively support Apple products, timely attention to requests,
hardware availability for computers at the end of the warranty cycle and awareness to surplus of old
computer units. It was discussed that there may be a time lag from IT in removing surplus items from
the university-wide computer list. Lee has a few cable locks available if units may need these.
Undergraduate Satisfaction Survey/Evaluation of University Supervisors Renee
Renee met with some of the seminar courses during the undergraduate survey distribution. During the
visit, some students noted that it may be helpful for cooperating teachers to be able to evaluate
university supervisors. To respond to this request, Renee drafted a brief survey that could be
administered using Qualtrics. The Council discussed the survey questions. It was noted that there may
be confusion related to academic and university supervisors. Renee asked council members to endorse
the concept of surveying university supervisors. It was determined that further discussions about the
use, implementation and communications related to this survey should continue with program faculty,
the Assessment committee, the Field Experiences committee, and the PEC. Concerns were raised about
the collection of this data and how it would be shared.
Renee asked the Council for feedback related to inclusion of a statement within course syllabi for
seminar courses that reminded students that course evaluations are available for the last three weeks of
classes. Specifically, there is a low response rate being received from distance learning students and
SPED undergraduate students.
Survey results from the undergraduate satisfaction survey which includes components to assess
advising, operations and functions were presented to council members. 141 students completed the
survey. The survey was designed, based on CAST standards, to offer varying questions as to whether
or not the student was advised by program faculty, TRACS or the university advising center. It was
noted that students may not be aware of the opportunity available to them to check out technology
equipment. Over 97% of students responded that they use their catamount email for communication. A
high percentage responded positively that faculty/staff were helpful in meeting their needs and
satisfied with their experience at Western.
Dale remarked that the College has a lot of available data. The next question is: how do we share and
respond to the data? Renee will send a link to college members in order to access this and other survey
data. Council members are asked to provide feedback about how to address existing data which Renee
will take back to the Assessment committee for review.
Budget Expenditures *
Council
Based on various pots of funding available to the College, the Council reviewed upcoming purchases
for the College. Department E & T requests were approved as submitted. Cameras for the Psychology
Clinic were put on hold until the 13-14 academic year in order to allow for IT to come up with a new
plan/vendor for this purchase. The Bod-Pod proposal and continuation of PLATO were removed from
the purchase list. The Council agreed to expand funding for Voice-thread which was used as a tool for
the BK program to a college-level initiative. Teachscape was also continued. Due to today’s time
constraints, this discussion will continue at the next Leadership Council meeting in January.
Digital Measures
This item was postponed until the January meeting.
