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 an employee, and which are used to assist or enhance instruction.
B. The parties 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 employee and student. This technology may be used in the context of distance learning. Furthermore, the parties also recognize that this technology should be used to the maximum mutual benefit of the University and the employee.
C. When making assignments, the University shall review the considerations stated in (1) through (4), below, which may be raised by employee development and use of instructional technology/distance learning.
(1) Recognition that employee effort spent in the assigned development of instructional technology/distance learning materials and in providing instruction assigned in this manner is appreciably greater than that associated with a traditional course;
(2) Training and development resources available to employees 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 an employee’s assignment or provisions for extra University compensation, for appreciably greater workload associated with the assigned development and use of instructional technology/distance learning.
(5) It is recognized that these considerations may already apply to other employee instructional activities and, therefore, may be addressed by existing University policies and procedures. If the university concludes that new or revised policies are needed, they shall develop such policies and consult with UFF pursuant to Article 1.2 (B), prior to their implementation.

Instructional Technology a. Technology Proficiency: Staff is expected to consistently incorporate technology into instruction and to facilitate student use of technology as a learning tool.
Instructional Technology. The Superintendent and the Association President will review the current practice and procedures for technology in the district. The goal will be to ensure that there is broad based teacher input, teacher participation in leadership in the program, and clear connection between application of instructional technology and implementation of the curriculum.
1. Members will not be responsible for technology failure, maintenance, or internet issues (outages) not caused by their own actions. Members will be held responsible for not following district technology protocols, loading unapproved software, or introducing viruses into the system through accessing unauthorized websites, or otherwise taking action that is counter to the design and workings of the technology system without their supervisor’s approval.
2. Members will not be required to open email accounts at home or on personal computers.

Instructional Technology. A. Because instructional technologies are prevalent in education, the College and the Association agree on the following.
1. Instructional technology should be founded in research-based best practices in teaching and learning to benefit the educational process.
2. Prior to adopting new college-wide instructional technology, the College and the Association will collaborate on the function, use, need, usability of, and support for the new technology. Instructional technology includes the hardware or software adopted at a college-wide level through which instructional materials are delivered, structured, or taught. This may include, but is not limited to, instructor podium, classroom technology, learning management systems, courseware systems, video storage repositories, and computer programs.
3. The College will support the use of instructional technology to provide instruction both on and off campus, or it will consult with the Association if that support is not feasible.
4. The use of instructional technologies and materials to support classes is an educational choice that should be left to the judgment of each individual faculty member in collaboration with other faculty in their department or program. Instructional materials include, but are not limited to, digital technology, video, audio recordings, photographic and other similar materials, video and audio transmissions, computer-assisted instructional materials, online curriculum, podcasts, three-dimensional materials and exhibits, and combinations of the above, and which are used to assist or enhance instruction.
5. The College will maintain a positive environment for faculty who choose to use instructional technology to improve their teaching or to deliver instruction in innovative ways, including the use of computers, by providing adequate and on-going training and support.
B. If the College decides to broadcast faculty presentations to an audience other than the intended audience of students and other college staff, there shall be a written agreement (establishing use and, if applicable, compensation) between the College and faculty member.
Instructional Technology. (Compensation associated with this Section (2.12, 2.13 and 2.14) is contingent upon the continuation of the Technology Levy and will expire August 31, 2014).
