Addresses a priority academic concern of the California State University and is consistent with the purpose and the values of the Integrated Technology Strategy.
Has a high probability of improving the quality of learning in clearly definable ways, and/or will increase access to learning opportunities for a significant number of learners.
Involves significant, active participation of persons from multiple campuses in planning, implementing, managing and evaluating project activities.
Uses new funding as a means of attracting additional investment from other sources, e.g., redeployment of institutional resources, grants, fund raising. (Note: normal operating expenditures historically associated with continuing aspects of the project do not qualify as leverage for this purpose.)
Can be accomplished within existing institutional, technological and financial needs and constraints, including timeframe and potential growth.
Can be implemented in a way that provides for ongoing discussion and validation of the approaches taken.
Is planned and developed once, is shared or implemented on multiple campuses, and is adaptable for use by multiple disciplines.
Can be supported through existing, stable sources of funding and approval processes, and can deal effectively with the problems of technical obsolescence and need for continuous quality improvement.
Provides academic, operational and financial measures and metrics for monitoring the achievement of the project's objectives and outcomes.
