And Others Community Colleges Computer Uses in Education Dial Access Information Systems Educational Change Educational Technology Program Descriptions Systems Development Technological Advancement Telecourses Two Year Colleges Waubonsee Community College (WCC) employs electronic technology to meet the needs of its students and community in virtually every phase of campus operations. WCC's Information System Center, housing three mainframe computers, drives an online registration system, a computerized self-registration system that can be accessed by telephone from off-campus, an automated library card catalog and circulation system, the student records system, a combined personnel/payroll database, budget administration software, and a computerized career guidance information system. In addition, electronic technology has been or will be applied in the following areas: (1) an automated telephone message system has been implemented, which allows students to leave voice messages for any staff member and permits the college to inform all students in a class of a cancellation or other instruction-related matters; (2) the Learning Resources Center has introduced an Electronic Encyclopedia and a file of business and financial information on compact disk; (3) WCC will soon begin operation of a direct path interactive microwave system to link the college with four area high schools and two postsecondary campuses; and (4) the college will also have Instructional Television Fixed Service capabilities. Computers and electronic instructional equipment are now used in more than half of the classrooms at WCC, and the college's instructional program offers an extensive data processing and computer science curriculum, word processing, computer-aided drafting, desktop publishing, robotics, and other high technology programs of study. WCC has found that electronic technology supplements and enriches the curriculum while reducing operational costs. (MDB) |
