Lake Superior College Earns National Ranking for Technology
For the second year running, Lake Superior College is among the nation’s most technically advanced community colleges. According to an annual survey conducted by the Center for Digital Education and Converge magazine, Duluth’s Lake Superior College is one of the nation’s top examples of technology delivery in higher education.
LSC was ranked seventh among the medium-sized community colleges (3,000 – 7,500 students) in the fifth annual Digital Community Colleges Survey. The survey identifies and spotlights colleges that provide a high level of service to their students and faculty through information technology. LSC was ranked 10th last year.
“We are very proud of our staff’s efforts to provide service and technology to our college community,” explained Barry Dahl, LSC’s vice president of technology and the e-Campus. “LSC continues to invest the time, expertise and resources needed to acquire the technology to provide an excellent learning environment.”
Schools were placed in three categories based on size of enrollment, with college officials providing information from the 2008-09 academic year. At the survey’s conclusion, the top 10 in each of the three categories were named. The survey addressed multiple areas in digital technology, including online registration; distance learning; tutoring and advisory services; technology training for students and faculty, and Web 2.0 social and collaborative capabilities.
