Operating budget was approximately $3.9M.
Provided support to EVC&P Paul Gray in instructional technology, undergraduate education, WASC accreditation, and K-12 Outreach. Responsible for coordinating these activities with Chancellor's Cabinet, Council of Deans, Vice Chancellors' Academic Council, Academic Senate, Associate Vice Chancellor of Information Services & Technology and University Librarian. Co-Chair the E-Berkeley Implementation Task Force (1999/01), working with the Administrative and Student Services Computing Subcommittee (ASSCS), the Instructional Technology Subcommittee (IT) and the Information Technology Architecture Task Force (ITATF), to ensure as broad a range of representation as possible as they address policy concerns, guide the development of key projects, and maximize collaboration and resource sharing across the campus concerning enterprise-wide integration of internet services and technologies. Developed the CyberCentral virtual center (http://cybercentral.berkeley.edu) to assist faculty find resources for teaching, learning and educational technology. CyberCentral is organized around key areas of: pedagogy, course web sites, multimedia, classroom technology, intellectual property, recognition awards, grants, training, seminars, and evaluation. Created the Federation of Educational Technology Leaders to coordinate the following units: Berkeley Language Center, Center for Studies in Higher Education, GSI Teaching and Resource Center, Instructional Technology Program, IS&T Microcomputer Facilities, Office of Educational Development, Office of Media Services, Media Resource Center, Multimedia Research Center, Residence Hall Computing, School of Information Management and Systems, and the Teaching Library. Working with the Federation, CCCPB-IT Committee, CUE (Commission on Undergraduate Education), and Academic Senate, developed proposal for a Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology to improve teaching effectiveness and student learning and to promote innovations in the creative and effective use of both new and traditional educational methods, tools, and technologies.
Managed personnel, budget and programmatic needs of the Instructional Technology Program. ITP offers seminars, training workshops, consulting, and web-based courseware development services to faculty and their graduate student assistants. ITP provides the online information, training workshops, consulting services, computer resources, and software tools instructors need to establish their course newsgroups, e-mail lists, and web sites. ITP helps faculty create course web accounts and also supports faculty use of online course management tools such as WebCT and CourseInfo.
The CCCPB established the Instructional Technology Committee in September 1994 to provide guidance on instructional technology policy. The CCCPB-IT developed and implemented a four-tier architecture for course websites (1998-2000). Developed Information Literacy Expectations for Effective Use of Instructional Technology (1997-98). In coordination with the Divisional Council of the U.C. Berkeley Academic Senate, the CCCPB-IT conducted a survey of faculty needs regarding instructional technology in the spring of 1998. Initiated CyberSemester '97, a theme semester built around computation and the Internet in 1996/97. CCCPB-IT reports include:
Managed personnel, budget and programmatic needs of instructional technology and distance learning in the College of Engineering. Responsible for management of the BITS and Cal VIEW programs. The Berkeley Instructional Technology Studio (BITS) provides support for faculty in the College of Engineering. The Televised Instruction Program at the University of California at Berkeley - known as Cal VIEW - Video Instruction for the Engineering World - supports Berkeley's activity as a member school in the National Technological University, NTU, which is a consortium of 51 universities and colleges. UC Berkeley participates as a member school of NTU by videotaping select engineering courses each semester and sending copies of those videotapes to Ft. Collins, Colorado for NTU to offer over a satellite broadcast system. Operating budget approximately $400K per year.
Managed personnel, budget and programmatic needs of the College's Center for Underrepresented Engineering Students (CUES). CUES is the umbrella for MESA (Mathematics, Engineering, Science, Achievement Program), MEP (Multicultural Engineering Program), JMEP (Julia Morgan Engineering Program), GrAD (Graduate Academic Diversity) Program, and SUPERB (Summer Undergraduate Program of Engineering Research at Berkeley). Work with student organizations, submit and manage research proposals, and represent the College on affirmative action issues. Serve as faculty representative for the Coalition for Diversity and Excellence in Math, Science and Engineering. Operating budget $1-2M per year, plus extracurricular grants.
Managed personnel, budget and programmatic needs of the Synthesis Coalition. Responsible for coordinating strategic planning and implementation efforts with over 200 faculty and administrators in the eight institutions of Synthesis: California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo, Cornell, Hampton, Iowa State, Southern, Stanford, and Tuskegee Universities, and the University of California at Berkeley. Synthesis Coalition members were well-represented among the nation's leading institutions: three of the schools were in the top 10% of institutions in number of bachelor's degrees granted; three were in the top 10% for degrees granted to women; five for degrees granted to African-Americans; and four for degrees granted to Chicano/Hispanics. Synthesis produced computer-based instructional material that integrates the diverse analytic, design, experimental and intuitive skills that are required by a practicing engineer. Synthesis developed and continues to manage the National Engineering Education Delivery System (NEEDS). Operating budget approximately $2M per year with matching funds from industry.
Responsible for coordinating strategic planning, budgeting, fund raising and implementation of Synthesis undergraduate curricular reform efforts. Synthesis developed new curricular and pedagogical models that emphasized multidisciplinary content, teamwork and communication, hands-on and laboratory experiences, open-ended problem formulation and solving, and examples of "best practices" from industry. The two major interdisciplinary theme areas were: (1) Mechatronics and (2) Architecture/Engineering/Construction. K-12 linkages were built on Synthesis information infrastructures and curricular modules. Synthesis was funded for $15M during its first five years from the National Science Foundation and raised approximately $10M from industry.
