ATI Update Regional Meeting CSU Fresno December 5, 2008
Phase 2 of the ATI: Implementation • ATI Mission: for the CSU system to provide its students, faculty, staff and campus community fully accessible technology environments for delivering a CSU education. • Goals: Coded Memo. 2012 deadline for web and instructional materials accessibility, procurement, and equally effective access when exceptions are necessary
Objectives • To provide standard methodologies, guidance and feedback to campuses and the Chancellor’s Office in implementing the goals; • To provide resources and tools to the campuses and the CO – such as training, centralized purchasing, and development of CSU specific tools;
Objectives • To facilitate collaboration, information sharing, identification and dissemination of best practices; and • To represent the CSU with external stakeholders, and to encourage and strengthen external resources.
ATI Roles and Activities • Reviewing Reports – Understanding the system as a whole – Steering a big boat • Sharing Exemplary and Recommended Practices • Coordinating system-wide consensus for recommended approaches • Hub of a wheel, rather than top of a pyramid • Consultant to campuses, not a cop
Organizational Framework • In order for all stakeholders to have confidence in the ATI going forward • For each ATI area: ATI overall, web, IM, procurement and training • ATI Leadership Council and Workgroups: • ATI staff and consultants; • Experts and respected authorities; • Within CSU and some from outside
Organizational Framework • Purpose – to define validate and sustain recommended practices standards tools and resources
Organizational Framework • Connect the ATI staff within CO Academic Technology Services and with ATI implementers on the campuses • Practices, standards, tools and resources will come as proposals from ATI staff, from campuses, or from outside the CSU • Review by relevant Leadership Council • Result: a standards-based approach to ATI implementation that can be followed with a great deal of reliability
ATI Centers for Excellence • Campus-based • Grants to campuses that have excelled at one aspect of ATI implementation • To conduct research, develop model practices, publish materials or other activities • Take advantage of expertise that already exists for benefit of all
Annual Reports • ATI staff are finishing their review of reports and organizing feedback • Individualized feedback – by Nov. 21 • Yet to be developed: • Summary reports • Model response compilations
Questions? • Is this services-centered approach more useful for you and your campus?
