Tech Plan Revisions for 2010 Update
ETO Section
In reviewing the ETO section of the Technology Plan, I’ve started some notes on
the sections that we are working on. My notes, in red, are thoughts on what to
include in the Spring 2010 update for the Board. Other areas in the Plan have
been put on hold, either due to budget constraints and personnel changes.
1. Provide strategic support for the college, students, departments,
faculty and staff for efficient and effective use of technology to
enhance learning, teaching, student services, and student success -- Give update on planning efforts for new campuses/buildings (Joint
Use, CNBC, JA) and progress towards implementation.
1.2 Foster increased access by underserved populations… --- Update on
SE Lab for Gateway Program
1.3 Provide recommendations for cost reductions through effective and
efficient use of technology. --- In conjunction with ITS, provide update
on these ongoing projects: Google Apps, new CMS, completed
migration LMS
2. Expand the number of online courses and provide services to
support growth in online, hybrid and tech-enhanced courses. Report
on expansion (new courses), and contractions due to budget.
Include service expansions (tech enhanced). Break out data by
school/dept.
3. Provide instructional technology tools, facilities, training and
technical support to faculty and staff to improve efficiencies and
effectiveness. --- Report on training for CMS, LMS, Tech-enhanced.
May include use of Elluminate, phone conferencing system, if offered
