Recognizing these needs, the Colorado State University - Pueblo will use its own and Title III resources to provide appropriate instructional technology to train and support faculty in the use of new educational technology tools and the subsequent use of those tools in learning. The University will create an Instructional Technology Center (ITC) that will serve as a catalyst for the infusion of technologies into the curriculum where appropriate. The integration of technology into learning processes will increase student access to learning materials, provide a richer presentation of curriculum, better accommodate diverse learning styles, enhance student success, and encourage the development of lifelong learning skills.

This approach to addressing increased technology access, student success, and workplace skills at the Colorado State University - Pueblo was selected as a result of the needs identified through the TLTR in the development of the University’s Information Technology Plan, and information gained by the study of current University data trends on student success and retention. Experience with other "across the curriculum" efforts indicates that faculty driven infusion processes are most likely to create pervasive substantive changes, such as those we intend to achieve as we strive to improve students’ skills with technologically based learning and knowledge acquisition tools.
