Technology Assessment
CSU-Pueblo actively evaluates how technology learning methodologies established by others or by the university can be tailored to support the diverse population of students that enroll at CSU-Pueblo. The ways technology is used in the curriculum evolve rapidly. Incoming freshmen possess skills in using the Internet, e-mail, instant messaging, and basic word processing. On the other hand, non-traditional students, who comprise a significant percentage of today’s campus population, often enroll at the CSU-Pueblo with altogether different technology skills. The university seeks to encourage all students to participate in a cutting-edge learning environment, taking into consideration that technology does not drive but rather supports learning.
Two documents direct campus planning for technology. The University Technology Plan for 2003-2006 has a defined Capital Expenditure Prioritization Plan that recognizes the need and the associated cost required to maintain a competitive university in the age of technology. The Strategic Directions of the Information Technology Services Department at CSU-Pueblo provides additional information to support the University Technology Plan 2003-2006. This document is consistent with the goals, directions, philosophy, and values expressed in the University Technology Plan 2003-2006 and the CSU-Pueblo 2002-2007 Strategic Plan.125
