| contents | The Technology Workshop: Empowering Students with Campus Technology. Lever-Duffy, Judy Community Colleges Computer Literacy Curriculum Design Educational Technology Learning Laboratories Minimum Competencies Program Development Program Implementation Training Methods Two Year Colleges Workshops At the Homestead Campus of Miami-Dade Community College (MDCC), in Florida, one barrier to fully integrating technology in the classroom was identified as the low-level of student computer skills. To address the problem, the campus undertook a project to establish a technology basic skills workshop for all students. In informal interviews to determine basic technology skills, faculty indicated that all students should be able to use a word processor, use spell- and grammar-checkers for proofing and editing, use computer tutorials, and use CD-ROMs for research. The technology workshop was then designed as a one-credit, facilitated course consisting of the following five self-paced modules: (1) an introduction to the facilitated learning format; (2) an introduction to technology lab skills; (3) a guide to Microsoft Works software; (4) an introduction to MDCC's computerized advisement and registration system; and (5) a guide to using the campus library. In implementing the program, the campus had to overcome issues related to logistics, such as tracking students, and to making the workshop economically productive. Additional benefits of the workshop were that students gained skills necessary to function on campus and in the workplace, faculty have begun to assign more computer-based work, and both the campus and the technologies have been made more accessible to the community.
