About Solid State University -
SSU is a public liberal arts college with 352 faculty and just under 4,500 full-time students. It has a large library/media center with 3 reference librarians, 1 PC technician and approximately 20 work-study students. There are 3 combined MAC/PC labs; all faculty members have been given PC's running Windows, and all faculty, labs and student dorms are linked to SSU's main server.
Of the 352 faculty, 40 are "heavy" PC users and 125 are "moderate" users. Only about 20 faculty members actually use computers for instructional applications beyond email or course Web pages. The administration would like to see a much more active use of technology in instruction. (80% would be be on par with the level of investment in the school's infrastructure.)
