Agenda

1. MITCET Priorities and Business: This will be an informal agenda-setting discussion for a strategy and process to address:
• Opportunities and issues from our discussions so far to inform educational technology strategy and framework for investments. Our discussions so far have identified some important opportunities to direct our educational technology efforts and resources, coming out of the DUE priorities, the Task force recommendations for curriculum innovation/reform, from our discussions on leveraging OCW for greater value to MIT education as well as the need to institutionalize innovations launched in recent years.

  Examples of these directions include an increased focus on global experiences, advising/mentoring, addressing the diversity of preparation among our students, innovating with new mixtures of residential and cyberspace in UG courses, more personalized attention to learning with enabling technology as well as linking research and teaching more closely.

  MITCET needs to develop a strategy and process to prioritize and address these opportunities.

• What are key educational priorities to be addressed through educational technology?
• What are the kinds of activities that we would undertake to understand evaluate and realize these directions?
• MITCET Deliverables and Reports – MITCET has to deliver or receive, reports on the topics below: Review of the status, format and schedule.
