TLT CoffeeRead for May 19: Virginia Tech disputes federal report
TLT CoffeeReads take a look at educational technology in the media, from Penn State to around the world. Innovations at other schools, education and technology issues, new products and services, and other news are among subjects covered. These are designed to get people thinking and talking about how the articles relate to what we are doing here at Penn State in teaching and learning with technology.
Federal report claims Virginia Tech did not properly alert students during 2007 mass shooting
"Virginia Tech failed to issue adequate warnings in a timely manner in response to the tragic events of April 16, 2007," federal officials wrote. "There are two aspects to this violation. First, the warnings that were issued by the university were not prepared or disseminated in a manner to give clear and timely notice of the threat to the health and safety of campus community members. Secondly, Virginia Tech did not follow its own policy for the issuance of timely warnings as published in its annual campus security reports."
How could technology been used better here? What would Penn State do in such a situation?
