[LIBRARYDIR] [EXTERNAL] Re: technology assessment?

[Dawn Hawley]

We do not have a formal assessment at BTC either. The library holds a couple of technology workshops at the beginning of each quarter, and then provides basic tech support on a drop-in basis after that. We route Canvas problems to eLearning (not the same as Canvas training). The Tutoring Center also provides some support on a drop-in basis.

We don't have an assessment.  There used to be a program here called START that was started by students who realized that a lot of students needed help with technology. They had an office in the library and helped with all sorts of tech. It doesn't exist in the same form anymore. I think an assessment might be helpful for students to realize they might need and get tech help.

There is nothing on our campus.  We have tried for YEARS.  In fact, over 10 years ago, we offered a couple workshops and they were not well-attended.  We do have somebody fabulous now in our E-Learning department who will spend some time with students, but that happens if they wander in here and we can send them to her.   It isn’t the main focus of her position, but she is willing to help.

Hi there:

We’re trying to figure out how to help students who need more help with technology than a few minutes here or there in the library or the campus computer lab.

Does any campus give any sort of technology assessment to their students? Or is it all addressed at the classroom level?

Thank you!
