Technology - Doing More With Less

Cynthia B. Leshin, Editor, MCLI
Did you know that...
Maricopa faculty and staff have access to many powerful resources and tools for teaching, learning, and professional development available at little or NO COST? In a time of diminishing resources, we begin to explore different options for teaching and learning. We think about how to use tools and resources available from our desktop computer as well as from our college technology centers. Internet, Electronic Forum, Maricopa file servers, and MCLI are excellent resources available for teaching, learning, and professional development. Accessing Internet resources is now easier than ever with a wonderful new tool available at Maricopa called GOPHER. In this issue, you will find out about Gopher resources now available from your desktop computer, and learn how to research a topic at the ASU library as well as a virtual library that reaches around the world. Karen Schwalm at Glendale Community College will share more about how Electronic Forum is being used at Maricopa for teaching, learning, and professional discussions or meetings. Additionally, there are many resources available to Maricopa faculty and staff located on the MCLI file server. You will find a listing and description of resources available on the file server as well as a listing of "shareware" programs available. The Maricopa Center for Learning and Instruction has as one of its missions for 1993-94 the exploration and discovery of how to integrate information and communication resources into the curriculum at Maricopa. Join us in this journey. Share with us your discoveries. If you need more information or assistance, contact MCLI at 731-8300.
