Development/Use of Instructional Technology. (a) “Instructional technology material” includes video and audio recordings, motion pictures, film strips, photographic and other similar visual materials, live video and audio transmissions, computer programs, computer assisted instructional course work, programmed instructional materials, three dimensional materials and exhibits, and combinations of the above materials, which are prepared or produced in whole or in part by a faculty member, and which are used to assist or enhance instruction. (b) The University Administration and the UFF recognize the increasing development and use of technology, such as videotapes, interactive television, and computer software, to support teaching and learning and to enhance the fundamental relationship between faculty member and student. This technology may be used in the context of distance learning. Furthermore, the University Administration and the UFF also recognize that this technology should be used to the maximum mutual benefit of the University and the faculty member. (c) The University Administration shall review the considerations stated in (1) through (4), below, which may be raised by faculty development and use of instructional technology/distance learning. It is recognized that these considerations may already apply to other faculty instructional activities and, therefore, be addressed by existing University policies and procedures in effect on January 6, 2003. If the University Administration concludes that new or revised policies, other than those in effect on January 6, 2003, are needed, it shall develop those policies and provide a copy to the UFF. If new or revised policies have a direct and substantial impact on terms and conditions of employment of faculty members, the University Administration shall negotiate the impact of the new or revised policies prior to implementing them. (1) Recognition that a faculty member’s effort spent in the assigned development of instructional technology/distance learning materials and in providing instruction assigned in this manner may be appreciably greater than that associated with a traditional course; (2) Training and development resources available to faculty members who have been assigned to provide instruction through the use of instructional technology/distance learning; (3) Provisions for clerical, technical, and library support in conjunction with the assigned use of instructional technology/distance learning; and (4) Compensation, including recognition in a faculty member’s assignment or provisions for extra State compensation, for appreciably greater workload associated with the assigned development and use of instructional technology/distance learning. (d) The faculty member shall not make use of appreciable University support in the creation or revision of instructional technology materials unless the University Administration approves such use in advance and in writing.
