Case Study #1
You need to provide career development information to your students/clients to prepare them to enter college. This is a difficult task for you because you only meet with these students/clients twice a month, at most. How can you increase your student/client interaction and help your students/clients get the information they need?
TRIO@Work: Technology for Global Learning 27
Case Study #2
Your program office provides a great many resources for students/clients. Unfortunately, students/clients only have access to these resources during your office hours which are 8a – 5p, Mondays through Fridays. Your students/clients many times need academic support outside of these hours. How can you address their needs?
TRIO@Work: Technology for Global Learning 28
Case Study #3
As you look around your TRIO office, you can identify many technology needs to support your administrative work. For example, you would love to have a web page where you can display student/client work and make announcements for upcoming program events. How can you meet your administrative needs and also provide a learning opportunities for your students/clients?
