Section 16. Learning With Technology Committee


The purposes of the committee shall be to:
A. Review and make recommendations to the University administration concerning the use
of technology in face-to-face and online teaching and learning, including but not limited
to planning and policies;
B. Serve as a liaison between the Faculty and Information Technology Services regarding
learning technology issues; and
C. Serve in an advisory capacity to the Director of the Teaching and Learning Resources
about issues regarding technology and learning.
The Committee shall have seven voting members: seven members of the Faculty serving threeyear terms: four elected from and by their respective schools, one elected from the library
faculty, two elected at-large , two to three retiring annually. The Chief Information Officer or
his/her designee, and the Director of the Teaching and Learning Resources or his/her designee
shall be ex officio non-voting members. Should an elected faculty member not be the
Designated Senator a non-voting Designated Senator shall also serve on the committee. The
committee shall elect its chairperson annually.

The purpose of the committee shall also include reviewing and making recommendations for
online teaching and learning. In September 2004, the provost created an ad hoc Online Learning
Committee to develop a policy and guidelines for online learning at Salisbury University. While
the work of the ad hoc committee has been completed, we foresee many continuing issues
regarding the implementation of online learning at SU. The members of the Learning
Technology Committee believe that this committee is the appropriate venue to assist in
addressing online learning at SU.

As more and more information is available in electronic format, access for online and face to
face students and faculty is an ongoing concern. The committee believes that a representative
from the library on the Learning Technology Committee is warranted.
