e.Republic’s Center for Digital Education (CDE) announced on
April 3 the results and winners of the ninth annual Digital Community Colleges
Survey. Community colleges are being recognized for their innovative uses of
technology to achieve first-rate student learning environments.
Survey questions and criteria examined and scored areas of
digital and emerging technologies, such as use of mobile devices and technology
integration into curriculum; strategic planning and data management; and
professional development, including availability of technology tools and
training for faculty and students.
In addition, colleges were surveyed on their technology
priorities, infrastructure and networks, collaboration and outreach efforts and
use of technology innovations.
“Community colleges across the country are employing
technology in exciting ways to develop unique learning environments on campus
and to expand online learning opportunities 24/7,” said Alan Cox, Senior Vice
President for the Center for Digital Education. “Many of the colleges honored
this year have employed various technologies and social media to improve
resources to further instructional goals. We are honored to acknowledge these
community colleges’ technology advancements!”
All accredited U.S. community colleges are eligible to
participate in the survey within the three classifications based on size of
enrollment. CDE thanks Sprint for underwriting the survey and for their support
of community colleges across the nation.
