Consideration (Why?)

• Purpose

– Need

• Limited faculty

• Limited time

• Limited space

– Desire

• Improve instruction

• Up to date

• Set the curve

Questions

• Does it really work?

• Is it better than what we are currently using?

• Will it save me time?

• Will it save me money?

• Is it something we should be teaching?

Cost

• Expense (cost/benefit)

– Initial

• Equipment, supplies, training

– Continued

• Supplies, maintenance

• Budget

• Grants

Cost

We must be able to justify the expense!

Compatibility

• Philosophy/Direction – Administration/Faculty Buy-in

• Facility – Machinery – Associated materials (inventory)

• Logistics – Implementation – Transition – Sustainability

• IT – Security – Storage/Archive – Installation
