A Vision for Information Technology at Xavier

A Teaching, Learning, and Technology Roundtable Position Paper

In 1998, Xavier began a comprehensive self-study process, the immediate incentive for which was the need to prepare for an accreditation review by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. In determining the goals of the self-study, the Steering Committee identified one major issue as significant to the enhancement of the University. This issue was technology and its integration into the teaching and learning process. During the self-study, the University community worked together to:

develop a shared vision of the role of technology in the teaching and learning process
improve student access to technological resources
use technology to improve University administrative processes.

One outcome of this self-study was the formulation of a vision for technology at Xavier University written by the University's Teaching, Learning, and Technology Roundtable and approved by Xavier's faculty. The formulation of the vision, and the vision itself, continue to guide the institution in areas of teaching, learning, and technology.
