Technology
Recent planned improvements in technology have enhanced all aspects of campus life, promoting student success by enhancing the curriculum and advising, increasing the efficiency and productivity of faculty and staff, expediting communication, and increasing the capability of the university to serve the needs of the region by providing remote access to programs. The explosion of technology on campus, both in the functions it performs and the scope of its use, has necessitated fundamental changes in the way technology planning is carried out. CSU-Pueblo has responded to these changes by:

• expanding the pool of individuals involved in information technology planning so that all aspects of institutional operation are represented in the planning process in a collaborative system developed by gathering information from campus committees representing a cross-section of academic, administrative, and student communities;
  
  
• including strong goals for technology access and utilization, as a result of technology planning, in the 2002-2007 Strategic Plan and implementing strategies to meet those objectives;
  
  
• improving the technology infrastructure on campus, including wiring, student labs, classroom presentation systems, and faculty workstations;
  
  
• enhancing academic computing resources, especially the addition of Blackboard and its tools to support technology use in the curriculum;
  
  
• developing the ITC, which provides professional development for faculty and staff and has increased   effective use of technology in teaching;
  
  
• expanding online data management tools for faculty and staff;
  
  
• expanding electronic advising resources for faculty;
  
  
• enhancing distance programming capabilities with the development of three interactive distance classrooms; and
  
  
• increasing the funding for technology through Title II, Title III, and other federal sources.
