Program Planning and Assessment (PPA)
for Services, Offices & Non-Instructional Programs
Comprehensive Review, Annual Review & Action Plan
Spring 2014
The purpose of Program Planning and Assessment at Hartnell College is to obtain an honest and
authentic view of a service/office/program and to assess its strengths, opportunities, needs, and
connection to the mission and goals of the college. The process is based on the premise that each area
reviews assessment data and uses these data to plan for improvement. The results of these annual
cycles provide data for a periodic (every five years) comprehensive review that shows evidence of
improvement and outlines long-range goals.
The Program Planning and Assessment process will improve and increase the flow of information
and data at Hartnell College. The result of the process will also improve institutional effectiveness.

II. ANNUAL REVIEW
This section must be completed for ALL services/offices/non-instructional
programs, including those scheduled for a comprehensive review in spring
2014.
A. DATA & TRENDS
1. Provide available data and information that define target recipients of the
service/office/non-instructional program, including numbers/size, types and
characteristics/needs of current and potential users, students, clients, and/or
other relevant populations. List the sources of this data and information.
Target Recipients of ITR’s Services
Target
Size of Group
Characteristics or Needs
Students
14,000
Unduplicated
/6,700 FTE
Full and part time, Traditional and Non-traditional. The student
body is split 50/50 males and female. 65% of our students are
Hispanic. 13% are Pacific Islander and 13% Caucasian. Many are
first generation students. 75% received some form of financial
assistance. 60% are between 24 and 18. Most will not complete a
degree or certificate here. Most work while going to school.
Almost all of them would prefer to have greater access to
technology, information, and services.
Hartnell College students need hand-holding through new
processes and services. The more technology can facilitate in this
process the smaller the burden on the rest of the college.
Students need both traditional face-to-face instruction and help
as well as an expectation for on-line and hybrid offerings. There
are many homes with out computers so having accessible and
available labs and open access computers is important. Keeping
costs down is critical, and ensuring services are straightforward
and efficient are critical to many who have very little time away
from other responsibilities or access to transportation.
Staff
5|Page
216
Hartnell’s non-academic employees are a small, dedicated lot
that absolutely rely on, technology to meet the needs of
thousands of students every day. The Ellucian Colleague system is
the life-blood of every administrators job for those keeping track
of student status and data, financial information, and business
operations. They need reliable computer systems, copiers, fax
machines printers, scanners, monitors, wireless and wired
networks, specialized software, and storage. They are typically
understaffed and working very hard to meet the demand in a
changing world. When issues arise or change is needed they need
those issues or projects to watched, directed and resolved with
effective communication occurring through the entire process.
They need the software and systems required for their job to be
kept up to date and enhanced when appropriate. They need
someone to support them in thinking ahead of the current
process or technology on how to integrate or change the process
with others for better efficiency. They need not to worry about
the how of technology allowing them to thing about the how and
what of their jobs.
Full Time
Faculty
125
Hartnell College full-time faculty face a relatively diverse
population of students in terms of age and race. Class sizes are
typical, but social needs are large as instructors struggle to push
some ill-prepared, and economically challenged students though
their first couple years of college. Instructors need technology to
work in the classroom and need issues to resolved quickly when
they arise. They need tools to teach students using various
methods and modalities. Technology can provide many of these
needs if applied correctly and supported by reliable computer
systems. Modern day LMS, CMS and smart classrooms can help
instructors use technology to engage students and effectively
present information. Lastly, full time faculty need opportunities
to be trained to develop their craft but also to come up to speed
on emerging campus technology and tools. When issues arise or
change is needed they need those issues or projects to watched,
directed and resolved with effective communication occurring
through the entire process.
Part Time
Faculty
360
Hartnell College part-time faculty rise to meet the same student
challenge as full time Instructors. In addition to the technology
needs of a full time instructor, adjuncts need to gain access to
resources and information from locations off campus. They also
need place on campus to work on projects and meet with
students. Adjunct faculty members need ways to stay engaged
with the campus community, and effective tools to communicate
and collaborate with their peers and students. When issues arise
or change is needed they need those issues or projects to
watched, directed and resolved with effective communication
occurring through the entire process.
Community
N/A
The community that Hartnell College supports is strong, diverse
and geographically dispersed and at times even migratory.
Hartnell College is seen as a key anchor to the community’s
health and progress. Those at the college that interact with the
community, need effective marketing tools to tell the story of
success and progress that is occurring from the academic
program, athletics, and philanthropy. The community needs
access to the library, its computers and education services to lift
the community, retool those looking to make a change, restart
those whose educational career was interrupted and spur on
those that are already enrolled. The community counts on many

opportunities of education and benefits of staying on a school
path. Making access to community ed programs, general services
and bridge programs convenient and easy to access has proven to
make a difference in many family’s lives.
Data Sources
• An accurate work order log is kept of all technology/audio-visual requests for repairs and
assistance. Utilizing the statistics of how long a work order was open before resolution, as well
as how many work orders are created for repeat issues can show how the departments are
responding in a timely fashion, as well as resolving issues proactively.
• Evaluation surveys are conducted at the completion of work orders; these surveys can show
customer satisfaction with the departments meeting their demands.
• Semi-annual surveys for students, faculty and employees
The survey data suggests that IT is understaffed and needs to communicate more with its
constituents before, during and after needs are being addressed or projects occur. It also
suggests that there is room for improvement in addressing customers needs quicker and helping
them understand what we have done. However, it is also clear that our constituents know that
we are stretched and they feel that we are constantly improving and trying to provide the
campus with tools to enhance instruction, productivity and our ability to reach everyone.
• Hartnell College’s Collegue Student Information System, CCC Chancellors Office Scorecard and
CCCSE were also referenced sources for this review.
2. Analyze and report on salient patterns and trends in this data. Given these
patterns and trends in users, needs, usage and/or other key factors, identify
particularly challenging issues in service/program provision, office
functioning, and the evaluation of the service/office/non-instructional
program.
Needs
Overall endeavors of our area are to react to trends and needs of our constituents. This requires us to
provide leadership for effective strategic and tactical planning for the use of technology on campus and
for the benefit of our students and the employees that serve them.
It is critical for our area to deliver secure, highly-available, reliable, and innovative information
technology and audio-visual resources. We need to proactively manage the campus’ information
technology infrastructure, architecture, applications, development, and investment priorities to support
growth and environmental change. For the benefit of its constituents, we need to capitalize on
information technology and audio-visual opportunities to improve efficiency and optimize cost-benefit
strategies. We need to develop and maintain highly effective, reliable, secure, and innovative
information systems to support instructional, administrative and research functions.
7|Page
We need to keep staff and faculty properly tooled and prepared for the future, we need to help provide
technical training and expertise in both academic and administrative environments. This means
providing professional development opportunities within the information technology and audio-visual
divisions to empower and support our employees in delivering excellence in service and solutions. ITR
need to establish the infrastructure to provide actionable data by delivering business intelligence tools
to enhance data-driven decisions. This will help the leadership leverage information technology
governance structure that effectively links business and information technology strategies
ITR needs to promote and facilitate the effective integration of technology into the basic mission of the
college through planning, programming, training, consulting, and other support activities. This means
developing, enhancing, and managing the College's enterprise networks to provide high speed,
transparent, and highly functional connectivity among all information resources.
Patterns
End users will always need up-to-date computing systems. This requires annual refreshes of a
percentage of the systems on campus. In order to meet the needs of the varied student body with open
access computers, labs and perhaps technology rental, the campus needs to plan for this investment
year over year.
End users will always need a healthy, secure, and fast network. This requires continuous investment upto-date wireless access point, switches, cabling, and firewall. These costs are manageable if they are
made in increments year over year.
Hartnell College’s ERP will need constant care and feeding. The environment should not be changed
from the “vanilla” state that it was installed as, unless customizations are absolutely necessary.
Investments need to be made each year in training of administrators and developers. Additionally,
investments need to made in the hardware that the system runs on and in enhancements to the
product. This is all in addition to the general maintenance of the product.
Administrative users will always require specific and unique functional systems to improve efficiency
and to meet the changing requirements of the state to improve student success and over all operational
effectiveness.
Staff members will always need training to improve their ability to leverage existing systems and to use
new technologies and systems when they are brought onto campus.
Faculty members will always need to have support with pedagogical development, tool training, and
classroom multi-media support. Ongoing investment in the FRC/PDC and instructional technologist
support will be needed.
Student success and all of the solutions that will come with this growing trend, will only continue to be a
priority for the campus and the classroom. Software and systems will need to be maintained and added.
Mobile device support and mobile app development for end user support will only continue to grow as a
priority and trend. Investment in a mobile platform and continued investment in our existing mobile
device management environment will be important.
8|Page
Business intelligence will continue to be a priority for the college. Better reports, specific to identifying
business operation trends and data for better decision making.
Challenges
Keeping up with expanding and evolving technologies, as well as facilitating Facility Requests, Equipment
Requests, Work Orders and Drop-ins with limited staff to support them, with the addition of having
vacant positions.
The campus has continually under gone restructuring and reorganization, causing consistent movement
of offices which stretches staff thin.
Last minute requests for equipment, instruction, workshops, and trainings are given with little notice.
Request forms are frequently turned in with partial information. Staff spends time getting more
information, and rarely has enough time to plan efficiently for these requests.
Software requests come in from individual instructors rather than discipline. This results in multiple
requests for the same type of software but different brands, resulting in repeated work. In addition,
work orders often come in from multiple instructors for the same thing. Sometimes our current work
order database does not close the work order. Causing our pending reports to show items that had been
closed days or months ago.
Lastly, over all, management of core, critical systems, as well as ongoing initiatives and point
solutions/technologies that the campus has learned to rely on or asked us to deploy, requires an
established ratio of IT personnel to technology or projects. Hartnell College ITR is far below these
standards. Our team should twice the computer technicians, lab coordinators and networking resources.
Many of the investments we have made this year have been to create an environment with tools making
it possible to do more with our small team.
3. Provide any other relevant data and describe any other relevant qualitative
factors that affect service/program provision, office functioning, and the
evaluation of the service/office/non-instructional program. List the sources of
this data and information.

2. Compare service/program quality provided across locations, vehicles, and times.
Are there differences? To what do you ascribe the differences in your service/
program? Discuss any other relevant factors regarding diverse service/program
modalities and environments.
ITR strives to deliver the same level of service across all constituents and all locations. King City represents
the greatest challenge due to distance. All ITR employees except Jorge Isaias have an office on main campus
and it is where the majority of their time is spent. Jorge spends 90% of his time at the Alisal campus serving
the academic programs that occur at that facility. There is no predominant or permanent IT presence for the
King City location as there would not be enough work to keep that resource engaged and productive. As
issues arise at both Alisal and King City, ITR representatives will drive down and spend entire days at the
facilities resolving and maintain issues. The IT infrastructure present at these locations allows for almost all
hardware and software to be maintained and fixed remotely.
Regular monthly visits are scheduled for both locations to check on equipment and resolve issues submitted
as help desk tickets. Program variances have been assessed providing for a more regular presence at King
City and neither budget or need has not justified the change. King City personnel, namely the dean
overseeing the operation of the location, have requested a permanent presence or a contracted IT
representative. This proposal has not been funded or pursued.
3. Describe the process to change and improve service/program quality for the more
challenging locations, vehicles, and/or times.
ITR has just invested in BOMGAR, a remote assistance program that allows my staff to remote into any
system across all three locations, with permission or in the case of an open access computers, with
specialized software installed to allow for remote sessions to be initiated without human intervention.
Additional visits need to be scheduled per month or staggered so that there is more coverage rather than a
group of IT representatives car pooling.
Most IT related issues reported are for computer labs, instructors stations, and staff hardware/software.
Reviewing help desk tickets, it has been determined that 85% of the issues can be resolved via remote
support via Bomgar, Google Chat/Hangouts, and virtualizing the environment. Additional training needs to
be conducted with King City staff to help them leverage these technologies to enable IT to help them or
resolve issues as they arise.
C. OUTCOMES
SERVICE AREA OUTCOMES
Each service unit/office/non-instructional program develops its own Service Area Outcomes
(SAOs). The outcomes should be directly related to the work of the service unit/office/noninstructional program, challenging but attainable, and measureable. SAOs should articulate
what specifically is to be achieved; their measurement should assess how well the service
unit/office/non-instructional program is performing.

2. Describe how service area outcomes were specifically addressed by the
service/office/program during the past year.
Was there review and analysis of the data? How did the staff engage in discussion? Were any
interventions conducted? Are there any plans to make changes/improvements in the
service/office/program?
After the 2014 survey was conducted, the survey results were compiled and presented to both the ITR
team and the Technology Resources Committee. Both groups were asked for their opinion of the results
and what they thought should be done to address the most obvious and most urgent areas of need.
There result was specific suggested improvements in the following areas:
3. Describe assessment activities that need to be strengthened or improved. What
are the challenges to achieving these improvements?
More proactive monitoring needs to be performed on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis to not only
track issue resolution, but also monitor health of systems and network. This requires additional work
hours or oversight resources that are not available today, but work procedures can be adjusted to
create basic preventative maintenance procedures which can then be scheduled, daily, weekly and
monthly that would provide better oversight of people and processes that in turn would improve overall
health of the administrative and academic systems of the campus as well as greater awareness of
service deficits occurring on campus.
We now have the tools to schedule and track these reviews. We just need to prioritize the time to set
them up within the support software we have in place.

ITR is able to better serve its

service and decrease overhead.
Yes. The new deployment has
caused business units to assess
the reports they have desired in
the past and either determined
they no longer need them or that
they could be improved for
greater benefit.
The process has helped units
request and even build their own

Yes. The Bomgar application
integrated with iSupport, is a
powerful combination that
allows the ITR team to fix issues

33 | P a g e
Activity 1- Consolidation of our IT department
Consolidation of our IT department into a single location as well as an upgrade of our server room environment to ensure consistent
power, cooling, and security controls.
Consolidation of the IT department and moving of the server room will ensure the continued operation of the computing systems of
the campus. The activity does not require any extra staffing, but it will require shifting of employee workspaces resulting in expected
resistance from the staff affected. There may need to be additional work furniture brought in as well. But moving the IT department
will move IT personnel to a central location to collaborate and coordinate better. This will also allow better oversight of the coming
and going of the employees. This consolidation will place helpdesk personnel next to those executing on help desk tickets. It will also
place all qualified personnel next to the critical server room resources with which they need to interact.

Safety of computer and server system, no longer residing under a bathroom and in a building with adequate cooling will be obvious
and welcomed.
c) What are the barriers to achieving success in this activity?
Moving of server room will require infrastructure be upgraded in the Library to receive the additional racked servers.
Moving of personnel will require transition of current office locations and will meet resistance.
Activity 2 – Build-out Cognos Reports
Cognos Report Build Out
Cognos Report Build Out is an activity that requires a technical expert to help build out major reports inside the Cognos environment.
Additionally, ITR resources are required to reach out to every academic and business unit to determine reporting needs and existing
reports. These reports will be used for operational and strategic purposes. The intent is to have a single reporting interface for all
campus reporting and to help users learn how to derive their own reports and data given the ease of use of the “run” reports tools.
While these tools are intended for business users, there is significant effort to prepare the environment and set report templates that
serve the business users and most importantly create a operable source of data elements in a repository for non-technical people to
draw from to build reports.

Business intelligence will provide more accurate historical data, real-time updates, synthesis between departmental data,
forecasting and trending, and even predictive 'what if?' analysis," eliminating the need to guesstimate.
BI users can quickly get answers to business questions, rather than spending hours reading through volumes of printed reports.
Non-technical users will have access key business metrics, reports and dashboards on mobiles devices like their iPhone, iPad, Droid
or BlackBerry, giving people access to critical business information on the fly.
Allows college to gain visibility into how constituents are interacting whether students or employees.
c) What are the barriers to achieving success in this activity?
Getting access and time with business users.
Securing time of the right qualified people to build out reports and data model.
Activity 3 - Continue technology 5 year refresh plan
Technology Refresh Plan – Add 400 more thin clients
In an effort to stay ahead of the technology curve, we need to replace equipment no more than every 6 years. We have 2500
computers on campus. This means that we need to replace between 400-500 computers every year. We are only focusing on end-user
systems, but future PPA process and strategic plan should include server hardware.

Activity 4 - Deploy additional Storage Area Network capacity 40TB
Deploy additional Storage Area Network capacity 40TB
The computing infrastructure of the academic and administrative server and computer environments rely heavily on storage. We
have about 60 terabytes of storage today, we believe we will need 3x that much over the next 5 years. We do not want to over buy as
storage costs go down each year. This activity is buying enough storage to last 2.5-3 years.

c) What are the barriers to achieving success in this activity?
Budgeting for additional storage before it is needed.
Activity 5 - Build-out of a more sustainable professional development (training) and
instructional design environment .
As the Professional Development Center (PDC) grows in importance and in popularity, the center needs to adapt and grow in order to
meet demand with the small resources that run the center. It is then important to build into the center, the ability to hold remote
classes or have attendees be supported by remote employees. First of all, the center needs microphone drops added to the ceiling so
those attending online can hear comments and questions from the face-to-face attendees. This will also provide a precursor of the
technology required for “Course Capture” in the future. The center would need to have a way to reach or interact with a remote
instructional technologist without having to know how to use tele-conferencing software. A virtual face can be accomplished by
having an iPad always in place on a stand and the instructional technologist can be called up on that device at will throughout the
day. It can also be used in trainings so the audience can see and hear the employee during training. Additional software is also
needed to meet the demand of instructors that are building out course content.

Activity 7 – Deployment of a Unified Messaging system
Deployment of a Unified Messaging system to enhance communication and collaborative integration between key business units and
the community. Unified messaging (or UM) is the integration of different electronic messaging and communications media (e-mail,
SMS, fax, voicemail, video messaging, etc.) technologies into a single interface, accessible from a variety of different devices. While
traditional communications systems delivered messages into several different types of stores such as voicemail systems, e-mail
servers, and stand-alone fax machines, with Unified Messaging all types of messages are stored in one system. Voicemail messages,
for example, can be delivered directly into the user's inbox and played either through a headset or the computer's speaker. This
simplifies the user's experience (only one place to check for messages) and can offer new options for workflow such as appending
notes or documents to forwarded voicemails. This activity can significantly enhance communication and dropped opportunities to
assist and help.

campus and students.
e) What are the barriers to achieving success in this activity?
Overall switch from one phone system to another. It will most likely require a learning curve and meet some resistance.
Activity 8 – Grants Management Software
Grants Management software, to give the grants director a tool to manage and oversee all grants currently in management across
the college including budget and expected deliverables. Each grant awarded, and we have many, commits us to do what we said we
would do when “selling” the granting body on Hartnell versus another college. Once we are awarded we have reporting
responsibilities, fiscal management burden and execution requirements. Grant Management won’t do our work for us, but it will lift
some of the burden to manage the money and personnel specifics to make sure budgets are maintained and deliverables are tracked.
This software would remove some of the day to day overhead releasing our talent to look for new opportunities.

Activity 9 - Filling vacancy in programming staff to manage and respond to the
growing burden being placed on IT to support business intelligence, student success,
program outcomes and demand analysis and campus operations
ITR has been down a developer for almost 5 years. The number of systems ITR is asked to implement, maintain, integrate, upgrade
and customize is daunting for 3 developers. There is a significant need to increase the skill set present at Hartnell college to maintain
some of the newer systems deployed at Hartnell as well as take advantage of technologies that Hartnell will be expected to deploy in
the future. These skills are hard to develop under the load our current developer are carrying. They are hard to develop period. They
can be acquired much quicker through a new hire which could then be asked to focus on the newer systems of the college.

If new/additional resources are needed for your service/office/program, it is important that you
identify them and project their cost, and that these resources and costs be considered through the
College’s integrated planning (governance, budget development, funding decision making, and resource
allocation) processes. A resource is likely to be something needed to support an activity that you have
identified in IIIA. above, in which case you must link the resource with a specific activity number (first
column below). All resource requests completed in the various columns of a specific row
must be linked to the new or continuing activity numbered on the first column of that
same row. A resource could also be something necessary for your service/program to function
properly to improve student learning, such as updated equipment in a room/facility; in such case be
sure to note that the resource is NOT tied to a specific activity.
