14. Strategic Thinking

15. STRATEGIC PLANNING DESIGN For the full Strategic Plan “Achieving Trinity 2010” please visit the website CURRENT STRATEGIC FINANCIAL ANALYSIS (Goal 2) NEW STRATEGIC ENROLLMENT GOALS (Goal 1) BASELINE 5-YEAR FINANCIAL MODEL (Goal 2) CAPITAL CAMPAIGN PLAN (Goal 2) Enrollment Drivers Financial Drivers PROGRAMS (Goal 3) TECHNOLOGY (Goal 4) PEOPLE CAPACITY (Goals 5-6) SERVICE REPUTATION INTELLECTUAL OUTPUT (Goals 7-8-9) FACILITIES (Goal 10)

16. Strategic Progress: Enrollment • Enrollment @ 1756 is progress, but need faster growth to reach goal of 3000 more quickly • Continuing investment in high growth subject areas is essential for more rapid enrollment progress, including • Health Professions • Criminal Justice, Homeland Security, Law Enforcement, Forensics • Psychology fields – Social Work, Counseling • Teacher Education outside of DC • Applied Communications – Journalism, Web Design, Technological Fields for Communications • Investments in facilities and technology are essential to ensure academic capacity to increase enrollmnet

17. Strategic Progress: Technology • Technology is fast becoming one of the key drivers or inhibitors of Trinity’s ability to open new markets through effective new programs. Therefore, in 2008-2009 Trinity is planning and implementing significant infrastructure upgrades that provide the platform for more rapid transformation of academic programs for enrollment growth, such as: • Replacing all servers and switches to ensure network capacity • Phased replacements of desktop and classroom hardware • Replacing online delivery software (driven by a change in the SCT software) to adopt a new platform for online and web-enhanced courses • Creation of new course products sufficient to meet online enrollment goals • Training of faculty and staff for new course management system and expanded ability to deliver entire courses and programs online • As a result of February 2009 national conversion to all-digital television, acquisition of software and hardware necessary to bring cable television capacity to Trinity’s campus

18. Beyond improving today’s academic functionality, technology is becoming THE key issue we must consider in the design and functionality of any new academic facilities…The ways in which technology influences instruction in all fields, particularly the sciences, in communications, in library and research, all require Trinity to rethink how physical space design interfaces with technological platforms. Technology also drives capacity --- how many students will we teach on campus, how many online, how does this affect planning capital improvements?

23. Dawn of Moodle

24. What is Moodle? • Moodle is an open source learning management system • Moodle is software that makes it possible to expand the use of technology-enhanced pedagogy and online learning • Moodle is becoming widely accepted in higher education as an alternative to Blackboard

25. Who uses Moodle?

26. Why do we need Moodle? • SCT/Sungard upgrade PowerCampus, changes public interface • IQ Web will continue to be the name for new public interface for registration and student information management (SCT calls this new product “self-service” but we’re keeping the older name) • Since the software upgrade would require entirely new course management software anyway, we decided that this was the best time to adopt a more robust online platform to support expanded use of technology in classroom based courses, to expand hybrid courses, and to make it possible to take some programs completely into the online delivery format.

27. Moodle Project Objectives • Faculty Training: by Fall 2009 ALL faculty will be using Moodle for course management • Improved Pedagogy with Technology: By Fall 2009, professional development program will include faculty learning objectives at basic-advanced-proficient levels for use of tech tools in pedagogy • Expanded opportunities for hybrid courses: By Spring 2010 a significant percentage (yet to be determined) of graduate-level courses will deliver in the hybrid format • Online Programs: by Fall 2009, Trinity will launch its first entirely online program (RN to MSN)
