Programming support and faculty development: A view from an instructional computing consulting service

Published: 01 January 1972 Publication History

Abstract

Three purposes have motivated this presentation. First, I would like to provide information about two projects in which I am involved in Michigan. The one of most interest for this symposium is Project EXTEND, a small college consulting service for instructional computing. The second is the MERIT network computing project, a prototype for a regional computing service in Michigan. Further details about both of these can be obtained from the references (Zinn et. al., 1971; Herzog, 1972; Carroll et. al., 1971).
Second, I would like to report some of my experiences with user services and faculty consultation. Although my experience has been primarily with University of Michigan faculty, recently I have extended these services to the small college environment.
