Here’s a clear goal-setting framework you can adapt for a technological rollout using the four headings you gave. Each section lists key points you might include in a plan or proposal.
1. Educational Benefit
Learning outcomes: Describe how the technology (e.g., new LMS, simulation software, analytics dashboard) will improve student engagement, understanding, or retention.
Faculty and staff impact: Explain how it will support instructors (better tracking, easier content updates, richer feedback).
Assessment and evaluation: Plan for measuring success—e.g., pre-/post-testing, student satisfaction surveys, course completion rates.
2. Financial Implications
Initial costs: Hardware, software licenses, integration fees, consultant costs.
Recurring costs: Annual subscriptions, maintenance, upgrades, cloud storage.
Cost–benefit rationale: Show savings or value—e.g., reduced paper use, fewer manual hours, better recruitment/retention.
Funding strategy: Grants, institutional budget lines, phased purchases.
3. Training Schedule
Audience-specific training: Separate tracks for faculty, IT staff, and students.
Timeline: Outline pre-rollout orientation, hands-on workshops, and follow-up refresher sessions.
Format and resources: Blended options (in-person, video tutorials, self-paced modules).
Support structure: Help desk, peer mentors, office hours.
