Creating high computer impact in a small liberal arts college

Published:16 November 1980Publication History

ABSTRACT

During the period from 1977 to 1979, computer usage at Goucher College went from an involvement of 10% to 60% of the student body; a goal of 90% appears to be within reach by 1981. During the past two years, approximately 40% of the faculty have begun to use the computer in some way. This rapid rise in computer usage was accomplished without the introduction of a required course in computing, without acquisition of an on-campus macrocomputer or mini-computer, and without creation of a Computer Center staff devoted to academic computing.
