Three I&IT Programs of Distinction Nominated

I&IT has nominated three “Programs of Distinction” that best exemplify a link between planning and resource allocation and provide the strongest evidence of supporting the university’s mission and core values.

The Cal Poly Pomona Help Desk and eHelp pages, the Accessible Technology Initiative and Studio 6 were submitted as distinctive programs to the university’s accreditation steering committee.   

“We believe these three programs exemplify some of the best examples in I&IT of program design, assessment and continuous improvement,” said Debra Brum, I&IT Vice President.

The university’s WASC Education Effectiveness Subcommittee will highlight examples of programs of distinction from throughout the university in an Educational Effectiveness Report that will be published and sent to WASC as part of the university’s periodic re-accreditation process.

The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) is one of six regional associations that accredit public and private schools, colleges and universities in the United States.

To be considered a program of distinction, the program must show evidence of:

  • Planning and operations that align with the university’s mission statement and core values
  • Progress on assessment and applying information from assessment procedures toward improving program operations and/or effective student learning
  • Resource allocation decisions (money, time, personnel and space) based on aligning with the university’s mission statement and core values
  • External validation for the program, such as recognition from external sources for scholarship, curriculum, outreach or community engagement or a record of producing graduates whose achievements after graduation bring credit to Cal Poly Pomona.

The Cal Poly Pomona Help Desk provides technical support to more than 20,000 phone, walk-in and email customers annually in such areas as password changes, electronic account claiming, mobile device configuration and electronic mail. eHelp is a series of web pages that provide step-by-step “how to” instructions so users can help themselves with technical support.

I&IT is leading implementation of the California State University’s Accessible Technology Initiative (ATI). I&IT coordinates campus-wide implementation of ATI to ensure accessibility of campus web pages and instructional materials, and coordinate the consideration of accessibility in technology procurement.

Studio 6 provides individual instruction to faculty and students on digital technology. This promotes learning and improves student success and supports the teacher-scholar concept through the use of instructional designers.

Division Strategic Plan Published

I&IT has developed and published its first five-year strategic plan as part of the university’s strategic planning process. To view the plan, covering 2009 through 2014, click here.

The division’s core values that were woven throughout the plan are collaboration, communication, learning, professionalism and service. Key objectives were developed to support the division’s primary strategic goal of making technology recognized as an essential resource that advances the university’s  and its divisions’ mission.

These objectives are:

  • Building and sustaining a division culture of evidence
  • Becoming a more agile and efficient organization
  • Collaborating with academic leaders to develop strategic directions and achieve shared goals for technology in teaching, learning and scholarship
  • Furthering the use of technology as a strategic business tool by partnering with other divisions
  • Advancing the division values (noted above).

To support the division plan, each of I&IT’s departments also developed long-term, strategic plans. They are linked from the main strategic plan page.
