CNRT I
Metrics
Years 1 to 5
During this period, CNRT technical assistance workshops provided a major service to the campus community. A variety of activities were funded by the SCSU NRTS, including hands-on training, videoconferences, planetarium shows, observing sessions, field trips, and public talks. Everything from researching African-American genealogy on the web to observing the comet Hale-Bopp was covered. Attendance was recorded for any activity that was directly funded by CNRT (e.g. paying for a guest speaker) or any activity that used resources funded by CNRT, such as a training workshop held in a computer lab funded by CNRT.
As the charts below show, there was a dramatic rise in attendance in Years 3 and 4 as the MU-SPIN funded computer labs were brought online at the partner schools. A drop in attendance in Year 5 resulted from the shift in emphasis from computer and web-based training to more specific and specialized science and education topics.
