CWC top digital savvy college
Central Wyoming College is listed as second in the top-10 tech savvy, cutting edge community colleges by the Center for Digital Education and the American Association of Community Colleges.
CWC is recognized for its progressive use of information technology and how the college has moved forward in using it to deliver services to CWC students. The college's bold technology initiative has resulted in greater student access to computers and wireless technology and a more creative faculty employing advanced instructional delivery.
A ranking was established based on the third national Digital Community Colleges Survey, which examined how colleges are deploying technology to streamline operations and better serve students, faculty and staff.
CWC placed second in a group of colleges with less than 3,000 students.
CWC is implementing innovative projects and programs with technology that are setting new standards for post-secondary education," said John Wood, CWC's Chief Information Officer. Wood said CWC is committed to improve delivery of services to students as well as leading the way for proving that enhanced learning environments make a difference in a student's college experience as well as in their careers.
In addition to services for students, CWC has initiated a number of projects that enhance the delivery of course material for students, including new Interactive Classroom Network equipment in Jackson, enhanced internet delivery of courses, and improved computer-assisted instruction for faculty.
The college recently launched a content management system website that could serve as the college's number one student recruitment tool as well as the main source for information about the colleges programs and services. While the changes to the site are behind the scene and not visible to the casual site user, it has been vastly upgraded and will continue to improve as the college incorporates suggestions from prospective students, parents, current students and staff.
