Sponsored by the Office of the Provost and Library and Information Services, an Individual Technology Objective (ITO) is a goal that you set in regards to your use of technology at Carthage College. This objective can relate to your teaching, research, productivity, or personal organization. It should be something that you are not currently doing, but can envision being able to complete by the end of the academic year. Creating and carrying out an ITO is voluntary can can be done be contract, tenured, and tenure-track professors.
ITOs can be a continuous professional development process. For example, each year you could implement another one. Perhaps a future ITO will be influenced by or build upon what you did and learned during a previous ITO. You could also be inspired by a colleague's ITO and undertake similar one for yourself. The possibilities are endless and up to you.
