How can you increase your student/client interaction and help your students get the information they need?

27. TRIO@Work: Technology for Global Learning 27 Case Study #2 n Your program office provides a great many resources for students. Unfortunately, students only have access to these resources during your office hours which are 8a – 5p, Mondays through Fridays. Your students many times need academic support outside of these hours. How can you address their needs?

28. TRIO@Work: Technology for Global Learning 28 Case Study #3 n As you look around your TRIO office, you can identify many technology needs to support your administrative work. For example, you would love to have a web page where you can display student/client work and make announcements for upcoming program events. How can you meet your administrative needs and also provide a learning opportunities for your students?
