AUBURN — The Center for Digital Education (CDE) honors community colleges utilizing technology to engage students and improve learning.

Central Maine Community College is among the top 10 winners in the 2016-17 Digital Community Colleges Survey conducted by the CDE. The survey analyzed how community colleges use a range of technologies to improve services to students, faculty, staff and the community at large.

The survey also revealed insights about community colleges’ technology priorities.

CMCC placed eighth nationally in the small college category and was the only institution in Maine and one of only two in New England to be selected.

“We are pleased to be recognized nationally for the exceptional technology support we provide to our students, instructors, and staff,” said President Scott Knapp. “Digital technology is now closely tied with a student’s learning process and experiences. A college with a sound digital technology infrastructure is better equipped to train students for the high-tech jobs of today and tomorrow.”
