  1. The College at Brockport CELT - Teaching Green Results from the College lab printing policy Jeffrey S. Smith, MPA Athi Georgiou 4/7/2011

  2. How it all started… • Printing policy was approved by the College Technology Council in April 2008 • Implemented Fall 2010 – most of delay was developing a way to purchase additional printing beyond the quota. • Communication/Marketing plan began in Spring 2010 • Printing Quota Committee created • Printing web page created • Published Daily Eagle/Stylus articles • Pop up messages on all lab computers at the beginning of the semester • Tent cards created and placed in labs • Top-up cards created

  3. The public’s reaction? • Expectation: a backlash from students and faculty • If we have 7,000 students, and only 10% complain, we would expect 700 complaints • Reality: a few bumps, but overall, a smooth transition • Immediate coverage from the Stylus • Students used the topic as a class project (see video)

  4. The result:

  5. More results: • Comparing the this academic year to the same time period last year, we are seeing a 48% reduction in the amout of printing done in the labs • 2,836,252 fewer prints (48% reduction) coming from 436,563 fewer print jobs (a 41% reduction) • As of 4/6/11, $5,150 of additional printing purchased ($4,825 via payment gateway (93.7%), $325 (6.3%) via top up card)

  6. Comparing top users(protecting the actual identities) • Top 5 print users last year at this point in time • acott2 Alfred Cotton7,654 • cdefe1 Cindy Defelice7,462 • jliu1 JiaLiu 7,135 • ddowd1 Deonne Dowden6,446 • jflem2 Justin Flemming6,171 • Top 5 print users this year at this point in time • wsmit3 William Smith2,880 (+$125) • lstee1 Lucinda Steensma2,619 (+$115) • jdav1119 Joel Davis 2,240 (+$85) • cjord1 Carly Jordan2,031 (+$45) • cpovi1 Caroline Povinelli2,007 (+$75)

  7. Overall outcomes: • The printing policy has worked. • The College has printed millions fewer pages since the quota’s implementation in Fall 2010. • Students are far more aware of their printing habits. (cautious of wasteful printing) • High use students have the ability to pay, like a luxury tax, therefore not punishing the majority of the students. • One student has already purchased $125 in extra printing so far

  8. How can faculty help? • These were suggestions from students: • Be aware of the quota • Consider allowing laptop and other mobile devices in the classroom. • Offer students the option to hand in double-sided/single line spaced papers • Accessing more readings/homework assignments on Angel. • Allowing students to hand in assignments electronically.
