Are we augmenting or actually just teaching?

When I searched for images of "Augmenting Education with Technology, who should pop up but the Cable Guy!

I read the new IT Mission Statement for SUNY Ulster and was struck by a phrase in the statement:
SUNY Ulster is a vibrant community of learners distinguished by academic excellence, collaboration, innovation, service, and responsible use of resources.

As a public, comprehensive two-year institution dedicate...d to providing affordable, accessible education, we work within an ever-changing environment to:
* Prepare students for transfer to four-year institutions;
* Prepare students for success in college and in the workforce;
* Provide enrichment and lifelong learning opportunities;
* Augment learning through the integration and application of emerging technologies;
* Prepare students to live and work in a global society;
* Play an active role in economic development; and
* Enhance the quality of life for residents of Ulster County

Augment makes it sound added on. The technology for many courses and content has become the primary tools to deliver the content. The powerpoint, the access to ANGEL the technology is part of everyday learning. To augment seems it is about adding extra umph, what many professors tell me they are finding is that the technology is the conduit or tool to deliver the information, not an after thought to make it better.Please Re- word this section.

its about how the tool is used. We need to think about Affordance...what tool for what task for active learning to take place. Ulster needs to commit to revisit how the learning happens with the opportunity of various approaches(online and face to face) and not take one approach to another medium without researching the learning strengths and opportunities of each approach.
