The Changing Landscape of Software Evaluation, Adoption, and Support || William Bernhardt, The College of Staten Island, CUNY, New York, United States, bernhardt@mail.csi.cuny.edu Susan Imberman, The College of Staten Island, CUNY, New York, United States, Susan.Imberman@csi.cuny.edu Mark Lewental, The College of Staten Island, CUNY, New York, United States, lewental@mail.csi.cuny.edu || Increasingly, faculty are taking the initiative in evaluating, choosing, and even supporting software for online teaching and learning. Due to the availablity of 30-day free trials (Dreamweaver, Camtasia, etc.) and the emergence of an almost unlimited supply of free or very low-cost web-based applications (YouTube, Wordpress, PB Wiki, etc.) for enhancing the standard features of course management systems, the online classroom is evolving rapidly with minimal cost to institutions. Participants will describe their experiences and discuss the extent to which this phenomenon can sustain innovation during a period of increased enrollment, budget cuts, and fiscal uncertainty. || General Session Panel Discussion All ||
