The purpose of this project is to identify, analyze, and synthesize
information from several sources in order to develop new designs for two-year
institutions of higher education. The new designs will deal with such
important issues as learner outcomes, learning processes, organizational
structures, approaches that encourage partnerships and collaboration, staffing
pattern, and cost and sources of funding.
The basic plan for dissemination will actually begin at the start of the
project and continue through each phase given the nature of the process used
and individuals involved collaboratively. Interim news releases will be used
to give visibility and attract preliminary attention to the project. A major
effort will be made specifically to plan the dissemination of the new designs
for two-year institutions of higher education widely and boldly across the
country. While the primary market will be institutions of higher education
which have opportunities for major renovation or new buildings, the designs
will also have implications for institutions with more modest improvements in
mind. Another market will be policymakers, state and national agencies and
organizations, and national leaders influential in the design of two-year
institutions of higher education.
The deliverables will be an executive summary and a final report describing the educational specifications and supporting rationale for new designs for two-year institutions of higher education. The executive summary and final report will be produced at the end of 1996.
