Faculty Laptop Program
Lander University's Faculty Laptop Progam was established to provide all full-time faculty members with an up-to-date laptop computer to facilitate communication and collboration with students and peers in the university community, academic community at large, and the local Greenwood community.
Over 120 Gateway laptop computers have been distributed to Lander faculty since Spring 2003.
The laptops are being used creatively both in and out of the classroom to enhance the learning environment for Lander University students.
The Faculty Laptop Program is funded by the South Carolina State Education Lottery and overseen by Lander University's Lottery Technology Committee.
Laptops in the Faculty Laptop Program are scheduled for replacement on a three-year cycle. ITS maintains a list of faculty members and their assigned computers. When a computer is due to be replaced, ITS contacts the faculty member and offers a limited choice of supported systems (current choices include a wide-screen laptop and a laptop/tablet PC hybrid model).
Current committee plans include supplying and maintaining laptop computers to full-time faculty members to foster creative communication and educational activities with students and the Lander community.
