Abstract

This presentation describes how the Koehler Center at Texas Christian University began a Mac initiative that would support both Mac and PC faculty equally. TCU eLearning department identified six areas of improvement for our Mac users to improve classroom teaching. Over a period of three years, results from follow-up meetings with Mac users found that our Mac users were not fully utilizing their training. Issues our Mac users faced where our shared training lab was setup to only recognize the PC desktop computers in the lab and not allow Mac users to plug-in, forcing the Mac users to use a PC. Starting fall 2006 the Koehler Center implemented the initiatives. We now have a support structure for our Mac users. We found that since our implementation, our workshop enrollments have increased, our Mac users are utilizing their computers in the classroom in new and unique ways.
