e.Republic’s Center for Digital Education (CDE) announced on April 3 the results and winners of the ninth annual Digital Community Colleges Survey. Community colleges are being recognized for their innovative uses of technology to achieve first-rate student learning environments.
Survey questions and criteria examined and scored areas of digital and emerging technologies, such as use of mobile devices and
technology integration into curriculum; strategic planning and data management; and professional development, including availability of
technology tools and training for faculty and students.
In addition, colleges were surveyed on their technology priorities, infrastructure and networks, collaboration and outreach efforts and use of technology innovations. “Community colleges across the country are employing technology in exciting ways to develop unique learning environments on campus and to expand online learning opportunities 24/7,” said Alan Cox, Senior Vice President for the Center for Digital Education. “Many of the colleges honored
this year have employed various technologies and social media to improve resources to further instructional goals. We are honored to acknowledge these community colleges’ technology advancements!”
All accredited U.S. community colleges are eligible to participate in the survey within the three classifications based on size of enrollment. CDE thanks Sprint for underwriting the survey
and for their support of community colleges across the nation.
