to train IA’s who work with students in labs. Free seminar
services in such areas as: podcasting, how to integrate
technology into curriculum, and specifics to different

District will give coding to each college and if they want to use,
they can. They will be responsible for implementing
Searchable Database Albert showed a demo of the searchable database. Each
college will get the link to put on their college site. Some
screen shots will be sent out to TPPC members who attended
via ccc confer. The search indicates full and open sections.
There is one issue with determining all online courses. They
are supposed to be coded as 72 and all colleges have been
notified to code them this way so that searchable database
can easily pull their information based on the top code of 72
