Minutes of 12/11 approved upon revision.
Minutes of 1/29 approved upon revision.
Curricular development proposal: Strong departmental support. This proposal is more
directly related to course development rather than research. ISC normally does not fund
conference-related costs, but considers this proposal a good model for future curricular
development proposals, i.e. funding actual expenses rather than providing stipend.
The relationship between the workshop and the course to be offered is not
completely clear. More information will be requested from the faculty member. When
received, this information will be distributed and discussed via email as the faculty
member needs a response before the next meeting. If funded, ISC will require a more
detailed report of how the workshop informed the course.
David and Helen will draft an item for the ISC agenda regarding use of funds for stipends
versus expenses.
Discussion of faculty-faculty tutorial: It is not clear what course(s) this tutorial will inform
or how it will affect teaching. The proposal was not clear as to whether the tutorial would
apply to specific courses or to pedagogy. ISC voted against funding this tutorial. Helen
will draft a note to faculty involved.
ITS document: Some things to think about:
-Do you agree with pedagogical argument? Should ITS functions be centralized? Where?
- How important is it for the Library and ITS to be near each other?
-If ITS does not move to the Forum, what will the Forum be used for? It costs the
college approximately $130k per year to heat, cool, and clean the Forum.
Discussion of agenda priorities has been tabled until March 12 meeting.
