Central Michigan
University is committed to
excellence and innovation in the use of technology to ensure that students have
the equipment and experiences needed to master the technology skills used widely
in modern careers.
"The Learning Initiative" represents the efforts of the
University community working together over several years to identify CMU's goals
and expectations in this area. The key conclusions of the initiative are:
-
Every student is strongly encouraged to own a computer.
-
Almost all CMU classrooms will be equipped with modern technology.
-
Many CMU faculty will post assignments, readings, quizzes, and other information for students
on CMU's electronic course management server.
-
CMU's high-speed electronic network will continue to expand.
-
Technology support will be broadened for both students and faculty.
