About Instructional Technology Coordinating Committee

In order to provide more effective planning and coordination of instructional technology at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW) the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs created the Instructional Technology Coordinating Committee (ITCO) in 2006. ITCO is a subcommittee of the Instructional Technology Policy Committee (ITPC) charged with the responsibility to develop and implement plans for the use, support, and evaluation of instructional technologies at IPFW in order to facilitate and improve the process of teaching and learning for a diverse community of faculty and students. To realize this charge, ITCO brings together faculty users and providers to plan for and coordinate the delivery of effective instructional technologies at IPFW.

Instructional Technology Coordinating Committee (ITCO) is chaired by the director of the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CELT), and composed of representatives appointed by the directors of Information Technology Services (ITS), Continuing Studies (CS), Helmke Library, the chair of ACITAS, and three faculty members involved in the use of instructional technology and two student representatives.

The Steering Committee for Strategic Planning for Instructional Technologies (SPIT) originally proposed the creation of Instructional Technology Coordinating Committee (ITCO) (pdf) as a subcommittee of the Information Technology Policy Committee (ITPC) based on a report (summary (pdf); full (pdf)) submitted to the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs (VCAA) on 22 May 2006. ITCO then submitted a proposal (pdf) to create a website that would serve as a clearinghouse for information about technology resources available at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW). In 2008, an ITCO task force revised the original proposal to create a website. The new proposal (pdf), on which this ITCO website is based, broadened the original proposal to include replacing a 2004 brochure entitled "Teaching and Learning Technology Support at IPFW Overview."

ITCO has compiled a set of statistics showing how faculty/staff calls to the IPFW Information Technology (IT) Services Help Desk between 2006 - 2008 break down by the type of problem involved(pdf).

ITCO Recommendations

In Fall 2012, the committee prepared a revised set of recommendations for the next IT Services Strategic Plan (pdf).

In Spring 2009, ITCO prepared a set of recommended priorities for the 2008-12 ITS Strategic Plan (pdf).
