Technological Integration
There is no area of the educational infrastructure that is untouched
by the technological revolution. Everything from student learning and
instructional uses, to strategic planning and financial management is
directly influenced by technology. At Longwood, the integration of technology
is pervasive.
In the fall of 1998, Longwood was the first and only college
in the Commonwealth to require all freshmen to have a laptop computer.
This requirement and other initiatives are essential throughout the
institution for continued integration:
- The newly renovated Hiner Building, home of the School of Business
and Economics, provides a state-of-the-art, technological learning
environment
- All campus residence hall rooms are connected to the Longwood
network and the Internet
- Longwood faculty have accelerated the implementation of technology
within the learning process
Technology is no longer just a useful tool, but a connective link
for the future. Longwood College was quick to adapt its mission
to this dynamic evolution, by recognizing the important role that
technology will play in The New Collegiate Experience.
