About the Study
Overarching goal: Support cross-campus learning among AMICAL institutions
Stage One: Learn about current resources & infrastructure – collaborative learning technologies (VCT emphasis) What technology is available? How is it used?
Survey was sent to 43 individuals (IT directors and specialists, academic leaders, librarians) from 20 AMICAL member institutions

Expansion of VCT Use
Yes – 4 Already use extensively for instruction and
collaboration (3) Special Events use
No – 9 Why?
Technology acquisition plans Mostly - No

Barriers to VCT Use
Technology infrastructure? No
Stable network VCT installed in multiple locations
Lack of knowledgeable IT support? No
IT specialists familiar with existing and other VCT
Absent or rather unrecognized academic need

Food for Thought
Technology presence = Technology useMain driver of VCT use – Academic
collaboration Focus on infrequent users Learn from peer institutions
Engage professors and academic leaders – IT specialists can and will help
