Message from the Vice Chancellor





In 1988 our Maricopa faculty and I created Ocotillo as a strategy to help us find answers to questions about technology and its role in teaching and learning. What we have discovered during the last eight years, however, is that every time we think we find an answer to a question, in reality it is just the starting point for another question.

We have come to realize that innovation with technology is but one branch of our teaching-for-learning agenda. And, although technology remains an integral component of Ocotillo, it is no longer the only focus of our questions. As you will read in this year's report, Ocotillo has matured into a process for faculty and staff to explore many aspects of the complex teaching-for-learning process.

I am grateful to the many faculty and staff across our colleges who have contributed to the Ocotillo process during 1995-96. Because of your effort, enthusiasm, vision, and commitment to this dynamic environment of discovery and change, Maricopa continues to offer students exceptional opportunities for learning.

Special thanks to David Weaver, Faculty Chair, for his boundless energy and leadership with Ocotillo this year. Thanks also to the staff of MCLI for their excellent support of all aspects of the Ocotillo process.

I look forward to continuing our Ocotillo dialog, particularly because it means finding more questions than answers.

Muchas gracias,

Alfredo G. de los Santos Jr.
