TMCC is an EEO/AA (equal opportunity/affirmative action) institution and does not discriminate on the basis of sex, age, race, color, religion, disability, national origin or sexual orientation in the programs or activities
which it operates.
5. 2011-2012 (FY12 – current) Technology Fee update – Bo provided a breakdown as to the approved request and their
status – we are also waiting to see what the impact of the enrollment decline will be on fee collections. Going
forward, we will likely have less funding than we have in the past.
6. LMS update – the joint RFP with CSN produced 8 applications/submissions. TMCC has completed its faculty review
and has recommendations. Currently waiting for CSN to complete their faculty process. Faculty rankings (from the
committee as well as evaluations submitted by any faculty reviewing the webinars):
• Instructure/Canvas
• Desire2Learn
The other 2 solutions in ranking were viewed as separated from the first 2:
•
•
MoodleRooms
Sakai
Costs for any new solution will likely include outsourced hosting (often required with the solution) – a migration
time table will be developed once a final decision has been made
7. Campus Technology Plan draft – has been presented to Dr. Tuthill for his review – Chris and Fred have requested its
endorsement so it can be posted as one of the campus planning documents
8. Smart Classroom prototype – in RDMT 256 – committee members are encouraged to check it out and provide
feedback regarding likes/dislikes – encourage colleagues to do said same. Fred requested that Steve Z. identify the
costs of the prototype classroom to be forwarded to the Foundation as part of the materials needed for the capital
campaign
9. Committee reports - the chair of the WebCollege Faculty Advisory Committee is Crystal Swank – they will decide on
their work plan for the year at their next meeting. Meetings are the same Friday as Faculty Senate at 11:00 a.m.
There were no other reports
10. Announcements – agenda item requests
• Tammy reported on problems with clickers (group response system) – Steve indicated he thinks they have
finally isolated the problem
• Thomas asked about campus licensing for two ADA software solutions – where does a request go/funding for
it. Fred suggested that if it qualifies for Tech Fee, could be submitted as a request. Otherwise, should
engage relevant stakeholders/establish need and usage and then request a funding solution to Dr. Tuthill
• It was reported there was a complaint at Faculty Senate regarding costs of supporting an online proctoring
center (departments being asked to cover the cost). Fred reported on the history of the online center – it
now is his responsibility. The cost of the center has been significantly reduced (now just over $3 an exam).
He also indicated he will request a mid-year and permanent budget augmentation and will also submit a Tech
Fee request. Funding has been through the VPAASS office but budget reductions have eliminated that as a
solution for now.
Meeting adjourned at: 2:00 p.m.
