Students use technology to learn in ways that are interactive, flexible, personalized and convenient. Technology engages their interest, and encourages them to collaborate, inquire, and explore effectively, far beyond the bounds of the campus. Support for student efforts to learn both independently and collaboratively, and at their own pace, comes from other students, faculty, and staff members.

 Teachers use technology to develop new instructional methods that address the needs of students with different learning styles, preparation, work schedules, and levels of motivation. This technology enables teachers to keep current in their disciplines and with teaching practices, to build a preofessional community, to interact with students on and off campus, to evaluate their own instructional efforts, and to remain responsive to the local community's needs.

 The college uses technology to transact its business with less dependence on cars, paper, and lines. Students have round-the-clock access to information about their own college records, course offerings, program requirements and transfer procedures, so that they can take responsibility for their own educational progress. Technology also makes it possible for students to ask for personal help whenever they need it. Both faculty and staff can participate in a flexible work environment that allows them to match their work habits to their own interests, skills, and personality. The entire college community uses technology to build effective bridges with other educational institutions, agencies, and employers.
