CSUSB Strategic Plan

Trustee Initiatives (TI)

1. Provide a platform to support on-demand computing. 1.1 Access to virtual computing infrastructure to support teaching, research, and productivity needs. 1.1.1 By 2020, 25% of courses that require computing resources will be automatically provisioned for students. Goal 1, Objective 4 TI 4
  1.2 Provide identity-based access to required applications. 1.2.1 100% of online programs will have access to virtual computing resources as they are developed. Goal 1, Objective 4 TI 4
  1.3 Provide computing resources to support computing-intensive online courses.   Goal 1, Objective 4 TI 4
2. Physical and virtual collaborative space for crossdisciplinary learning. 2.1 Provide inter-connected classroom/learning space for interdisciplinary teaching and learning. 2.1.1 At least 1 collaborative learning classroom per building by 2019. Goal 1, Objective 1 TI 5
  2.2 Create and expand informal learning space to promote collaboration and team-based learning. 2.2.1 Common scheduling system to reserve collaborative study spaces for student by 2017-18. Goal 1, Objective 4 TI 5
  2.3 Standardize and promote the use of virtual meeting technologies. 2.3.1 At least 50 technology-enabled collaborative study spaces across campus by 2018. Goal 2, Objective 1 TI 5
