STANDARD III C: Technology Resources
Technology resources are used to support student learning programs and services
and to improve institutional effectiveness. Technology planning is integrated with
institutional planning.
1. The institution assures that any technology support it provides is designed to
meet the needs of learning, teaching, college-wide communications, research,
and operational systems.
Gavilan College strives to provide technology resources and support to all educational
programs, regardless of where the instruction occurs or by what means of delivery. As
one of the state’s smaller colleges, the desire to be comprehensive and state-of-the-art is
challenging. The Technology Master Plan (3C.1) structures a process for identification
of needs, judicious allocation of resources allocation and technology decision-making.
The Measure E Bond and instructional equipment monies will provide significant
technology enhancement for educational programs and the institution.
Gavilan College ensures that technology needs are identified through the District
Technology Committee (DTC). The committee advises the President’s Council on
technology issues affecting the district (3C.2). The committee’s bylaws include:
assuring compliance with the statewide Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), setting
minimum technical standards; prioritizing technology needs; assuring compliance with
the California Community College Chancellor’s Office, state, and federal MIS reporting
requirements; promoting educational programs relating to technology and serving as the
initial screening level for all technology improvements (3C.3). The DTC fosters the
development of resources, coordinates the update of the Technology Master Plan, and
examines the technical needs of the faculty, staff and students. The purpose of the
Technology Master Plan (3C.1) is to provide a prioritization list to inform strategic
technology and resource allocation decisions.
The instructional programs, student services and administrative services are supported by
technology; however, not at the level that all would like. There are approximately 1,000
computer stations on campus for students, faculty and staff. The library has a drop-in
computer center with over 80 computer stations. Fully equipped computer labs have
been installed at the off-site locations in Morgan Hill and Hollister. The Mathematics,
Engineering, Science Achievement (MESA) program has a mobile laptop computer lab
for classroom use, workshops, and a student loan program. The TRIO Student Support
Services program also provides laptop loans for their students.
Several instructional programs such as ESL (English as a Second Language) and math
have incorporated technology components into their program curricula for enhancement
of learning outcomes by developing their own computer labs. A variety of telecourses
and online courses are offered each year. An increasing number of instructors are
experimenting with online course delivery. Many faculty have added web pages, bulletin
board or chat room components, and online assignments to supplement their curriculum.

Some faculty and students are also using “blogs” to communicate, such as the Teach 4
Tomorrow Club and the Rho Alpha Mu Club (Gavilan’s Honor Society)(3C.4). Many
lecture halls are now multimedia smart classrooms, and off-site learning environments
have multimedia capabilities. However, according to the 2005 Accreditation Survey
results, only 42 percent think that we have adequate technology for instructional needs in
the classroom (3C.5, question F7). Classroom technology will be improved through
Measure E renovations.
Many student services programs utilize technology. Faculty and counselors utilize the
SARS (Student Appointment Request System) program for scheduling student
appointments. Gavilan’s web services for faculty include IGOR, which provides
instructors access to rosters and on-line grading. According to the 2005 Accreditation
Survey, 79 percent of faculty agrees that they want internet access to student grades,
schedules and class rosters (3C.5, question F5). Moreover, many students (up to 81
percent) indicate that they would like web services (3C.5, questions 43, 44, 45). In fall
2006, OnLine Gavilan Access (OLGA) was launched, providing online registration,
access to schedules education plans, grades, and unofficial transcripts. The
implementation of SunGard’s Banner system Enterprise Resource Plan (ERP) will further
integrate and expand online services.
Administrative services departments utilize technology in their daily work and business
practices. Applications include budget development, finance, catalog development,
scheduling, and state reporting. The ERP, as described above, will integrate workflow
and provide access to the system through the internet.
Gavilan College evaluates the effectiveness of its technology in meeting needs by
conducting surveys of students, staff and faculty. The results are used to update the
Technology Master Plan and create the Minimum Standards for Classrooms and Labs
(3C.6). These Minimum Technical Standards will be used as a guideline for Measure E
planning and implementation of the Minimum Standards for Classrooms and Labs
document (3C.6, 3C.7).
According to the Accreditation Survey 2005, many students indicated a positive
impression of Gavilan College’s technology access. For example, 55 percent agreed that
phone registration simplifies the registration process (3C.5, question 34); 80 percent
agreed that they can easily access the college catalog, class schedule, and website (3C.5,
question 35); and 71 percent agreed that the availability of technology meets their needs
(3C.5, question 3).
Staff had varied opinions regarding access to technology. Fifty-seven percent agreed that
instructional and computing equipment is appropriate and well maintained (3C.5,
question 24); 60 percent agree that technical support is adequate (3C.5, question 25); 71
percent would like wireless access to the campus network and the Internet (3C.5,
question 30). Overall 72 percent of the staff indicated that their computer hardware and
software programs are adequate for their needs (3C.5, question 31).

Campus technology meets a range of needs from phone registration for students to
financial accounting systems (BiTech), and web services for faculty. These applications
are only partially integrated at this point, but will become more seamless and accessible
with the implementation of ERP. To be more effective in meeting our technical needs
and streamlining our business processes, the purchase and implementation of this
integrated system and new hardware will be provided through Measure E funding. As in
all technological developments, significant staff training will be required.
Since 1998, Gavilan has had an active Technology Committee consisting of faculty, staff,
administrators, and students interested in technology issues. The members serve both an
advocacy and an advisory role. The District Technology Committee posts meeting
minutes and agendas online (3C.8).
The District Technology Committee was originally a subcommittee of the President’s
Council. During May 2004, the District Technology Committee became an institutional
standing committee and was reorganized into the current District Technology Committee
and the Faculty Senate Technology Committee. The District Technology Committee
membership consists of appointed representatives from all constituent groups on campus.
The chairperson is the Vice President of Administrative Services. The District
Technology Committee has developed a mission (3C.2), created by-laws (3C.3), meets
regularly and posts its minutes on the intranet (3C.7). Several task forces have been
developed from the District Technology Committee that continue to meet on important
issues such as: Section 508 (3C.9); ERP (Enterprise Resource Plan); Minimum
Standards for Classrooms and Labs (3C.6); Website Design/Web Standards work group
(3C.10), Web Services and the Distance Education Committee.
The original committee completed the final draft of the Technology Master Plan on
May 11, 2003 (3C.1). The purpose of the Technology Master Plan (3C.1) is to provide a
prioritization list to inform strategic technology and resource allocation decisions, and to
identify technology components required for compliance with the Strategic and
Educational Master Plans. The Technology Plan is a “living document” that is reviewed
and updated annually. The District Technology Committee continues to monitor the plan
when making decisions. The district refers to the Technology Master Plan to guide
decisions related to Measure E renovations.
On March 2, 2004 district voters approved Measure E, a facilities improvement bond that
will include upgrading and renovating our existing facilities (3C.11). Improvements in
our technology infrastructure, minimal classroom and lab technical standards and the
purchase of an integrated ERP system were included within this bond funding.
a. Technology services, professional support, facilities, hardware, and software
are designed to enhance the operation and effectiveness of the institution.
IIIC - 3
GAVILAN COLLEGE
2007 ACCREDITATION SELF STUDY
DESCRIPTION:
Gavilan College makes decisions about technology services, facilities, hardware, and
software via the recommendations of the District Technology Committee. The college
attempts to achieve the California Community College’s Chancellor’s Office (CCCCO)
guidelines on Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) (3C.1, Appendix B) when designing its
operations and improving its overall effectiveness. This Total Cost of Ownership
approach is used to factor in, not only initial capital outlay, but also staffing,
maintenance, training, operational, and replacement costs; however, attaining the state’s
TCO standards is difficult due to the lack of funding.
The college is also cognizant of the need to replace the Santa Rosa data management
system with a fully integrated commercially produced system. A new ERP solution will
enable the district to streamline business processes, and extend and enhance personalized
access to information and services, making business practices within the district easy and
efficient. Once the new ERP system is in place, we will have more online services
available to support distance learning programs and courses.
EVALUATION:
Gavilan College is supported by technology, and decisions relating to technology are
made by the District Technology Committee. The DTC recommends and prioritizes
issues, which are identified through the Technology Master Plan. Even though the
Technology Master Plan prioritizes the needs, many decisions are necessarily influenced
by budget constraints. Funding constraints have limited the extent to which some issues
have been addressed in the past; however, Measure E funds will greatly expand the extent
to which these needs can be met. The TCO model guides the college in determining the
full cost of ownership (one-time and on-going costs, support, training, and replacement)
when purchasing equipment. However, there is still inadequate support to maintain,
repair and improve performance of the equipment, as well as a lack of trained faculty,
staff and students. According to the Accreditation Survey 2005, approximately half of
the staff indicated that they need additional resources to support students and employees
in the use of technology (3C.5, questions 27, 28).
Distance learning programs and courses are accommodated by appropriate technology.
The college contracts with Etudes for distance learning courses and course management.
Instructors and staff utilize the Staff Resource Center that is equipped with relatively new
computers, software to create web pages, images, text files, PDF files, and technical
support.
Gavilan does not have enough resources (hardware or personnel) to host the online
courses offered. All online courses are hosted by the Etudes project from the DeAnzaFoothill District. Etudes provides secure, reliable, 24/7 access, and technical support for
instructors. The contract with the Etudes consortium provides Gavilan with disaster
recovery, privacy and security (3C.12).

Lack of air conditioning for some facilities with computers is a problem which will be
alleviated by the Measure E renovations. With excessive heat, the reliability of the
processor and all the components inside the computer is compromised, and its usable life
cycle is shortened. The Measure E engineering evaluation and funding will ensure aircooling and circulation for all facilities.
PLAN:



Revise and update the Technology Master Plan annually.
Identify personnel needed to support the planned level of technology and
incorporate staffing increases into the budget development process.
Once Measure E projects have been completed, allocate sufficient funds to
maintain and operate all improvements.
b. The institution provides quality training in the effective application of its
information technology to students and personnel.
DESCRIPTION:
Gavilan College has provided quality technology training as required for staff, faculty
and students. The library, the high tech center and the writing lab provide computer
training on a "drop-in" basis in addition to regular computer classes for students.
For faculty and staff, the Staff Resource Center (SRC) provides training on a variety of
topics such as creation of web pages with Dreamweaver, creating presentations with
PowerPoint, incorporating web accessibility and conducting online classes. The Staff
Resource Center maintains an online calendar with scheduled training plus email links
and telephone numbers to request specific software or hardware training (3C.13).
The college has three committees that are charged with faculty and staff development: of
the Faculty Staff Development Committee (3C.14), the CSEA (California Schools
Employee Association) Staff Development Committee and the College Staff
Development Committee, which is a standing committee under the President’s Council.
The Faculty Staff Development Committee, which is a standing committee of the
Academic Senate, is responsible for all of the contractual aspects of faculty development
including the approval of co-curricular, flex time, and travel for meetings and/or
conferences. The committee has an established constitution and by-laws (3C.15). The
College Staff Development Committee began an effort to define competencies for faculty
when they developed the 2005-2006 unit plan (3C.16). One specific goal related to
technology training is included. The unit plan’s goal number four, states “the Staff
Development Committee will provide appropriate training for all staff to maintain high
levels of competency in technology, instructional modalities and work requirements”
(3C.16). This effort is ongoing through the Staff Resource Center and Staff Development
Day activities.

The College Staff Development Committee organizes various one-hour technical
workshops that are offered during Staff Development days on subjects such as: Excel,
Word, Reflection, and web page development.
Enterprise Resource Plan (ERP installation will occur over the next two to three years.
The implementation will include significant amounts of technology training especially for
faculty and staff. As technical requirements for jobs are changing, Gavilan job
descriptions will need to reflect appropriate technical competencies. Many job
descriptions do not include technology competencies unless it is specifically part of a job
function.
EVALUATION:
Gavilan needs to establish competencies for faculty, staff, and students, and develop a
plan for providing training to achieve those competencies.
Computer literacy is required for many different disciplines. English as a Second
Language (ESL) students, for example, spend one class session per week in a lab viewing
internet sites, using e-mail, and using specialized ESL software. English classes spend
one session per week in the computer labs using software such as word processing,
spreadsheets, specialized databases and the internet for research purposes. Many other
programs such as Political Science, Astronomy, Biology, and Statistics include computer
training as part of their curriculum. Spanish classes use GASPAR – a unique software
program developed at Gavilan College. For students who plan to take an online course, a
noncredit course, “Introduction to Online Gavilan” was added in summer 2006, however
it is optional. Technical competencies for students can be included in the individual
program learning outcomes.
The Staff Resource Center (SRC) provides effective training to both faculty and staff
through classes and one-on-one training as requested (3C.13). The Staff Resource Center
is staffed seven hours per week with a faculty trainer. The Webmaster and the Distance
Education Coordinator also provide additional back-up training. The Distance Education
Coordinator works extensively with faculty members and their online course
management system. The Distance Education Department website is very informative
for both staff and students (3C.17). The results of the 2005 Accreditation Survey
indicated that 53 percent of the faculty agreed that adequate support is available for their
online class development and use (3C.5, question F6).
The staff and faculty are encouraged to contact the SRC with questions and training
requests. The SRC works with the library to provide supporting materials for software
applications that are adopted campus wide. When a faculty member takes an SRC
course, he or she may apply the hours toward co-curricular or flex time; however, there is
no formal record of completion for training. When administrators or classified staff
complete SRC training, there are no written procedures established to record completion.

Gavilan College assesses the need for information technology training for students and
personnel with surveys and online orientation and help pages for students. The results of
our 2005 Accreditation Survey indicated that 58 percent of the staff agreed that training is
available and sufficient to meet their needs (3C.5, question 29). Periodically, personnel
training needs have been assessed by campus-wide surveys and by individual requests.
Most of these training issues are addressed in the College Staff Development Committee
unit plan; however, that plan has not been implemented for reasons including the frequent
turnover of upper level staff positions.
Extensive training components for faculty and staff are included with the upcoming ERP
system software. These training issues have been discussed by the ERP subcommittee,
which is a part of the District Technology Committee.
PLAN:




Establish competencies for students enrolled in online courses.
Include technical competencies in job descriptions as they are updated.
Negotiate technical competencies into faculty and staff contracts.
Update and implement the College Staff Development Committee unit plan.
c. The institution systematically plans, acquires, maintains, and upgrades or
replaces technology infrastructure and equipment to meet institutional needs.
DESCRIPTION:
Through the District Technology Committee and the Technology Master Plan, Gavilan
College systematically plans technology acquisitions and upgrades to meet institutional
needs and stay current with prevailing technology.
Gavilan College provides for the management, maintenance, and operation of its
technological infrastructure and equipment through the college Management Information
Systems (MIS) department (3C.1, Appendix B). The college has added significantly to
the MIS staff during the past several years. The staff has grown from one MIS Director
and contract personnel to a staff of six, including an assistant MIS Director, senior PC
technician, two PC technicians, and a webmaster. MIS uses contracted services for
network administration, Macintosh support, and special projects.
Measure E funds have provided new equipment for the student labs and will provide
needed infrastructure upgrades (3C.7).
Gavilan College provides daily and quarterly backups for critical servers and data.
Backups are completed and stored in a fireproof vault in a campus building separate from
the MIS facility.

EVALUATION:
As a part of the Telecommunications and Technology Infrastructure Program (TTIP), that
started in 1996-1997, the Chancellor’s Office in conjunction with the Gartner Group,
issued standards relating to the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of computer hardware
and software (3C.18). According to these standards, there is still a lack of MIS staff
support at Gavilan College.
Despite the shortage of staff in Gavilan’s MIS department, there continues to be
excellence in support and maintenance of technical services for the Gavilan community.
Because technical support is such a critical area to our campus, Gavilan must have
enough technical staff to provide adequate support.
Once Measure E funds have been expended, a long-term plan will be needed to
adequately fund and maintain the institution’s physical resources and technology.
A disaster plan for off-site storage and disaster recovery needs to be included in the
update of the District Technology Plan.
PLAN:

When the District Technology Plan is revised, include the following items:






Address the technical support staffing needs to meet the statewide
minimum operating baseline recommendations.
Add MIS staff positions to support the ERP implementation.
Include an annual allocation of funds for upgrading the technological
infrastructure and equipment once the Measure E funds are expended.
Develop a disaster plan for critical servers and data backup for off-site
storage and disaster recovery in the District Technology Plan update.
Provide training in Macintosh support for PC technicians as a way of
limiting the cost and the use of consultants.
Include a request for an additional personal computer technician in the
budget planning process for 2006-07.
d. The distribution and utilization of technology resources support the
development, maintenance, and enhancement of its programs and services.
DESCRIPTION:
Gavilan College makes decisions about the use and distribution of its technology
resources via the District Technology Committee (DTC) with input from Deans Council,
Curriculum Committee, and Department Chairs. The DTC has approved several
standards that are included in the Technology Master Plan Appendix E (3C.1). The
hardware and software standards have been developed, and the web and network
management standards are being developed.

The Web Design/Web Policy subcommittee has worked to create a new home page for
the Gavilan College website that was activated on Staff Development Day, January 19,
2006 (3C.19). The Web Design/Web Policy subcommittee is in the process of
establishing Gavilan’s official web standards and has developed a website that lists its
minutes along with tips for faculty and staff (3C.10). The Board approved the District
Computer Use standards on December 11, 2001 (3C.20).
Gavilan College provides access to district programs and services to individuals with
disabilities to the fullest reasonable extent possible, as guaranteed by Section 508 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (3C.9).
Section 508 requires that all electronic and information technology developed, procured,
maintained, used, or purchased by public agencies receiving federal funds is accessible to
people with disabilities. The Section 508 subcommittee has created an implementation
plan to accompany the district’s 508 policy (BP6340) approved in April 2002. The
Alternate Media Production Guidelines are included in the Section 508 Standards plan
and are published on the college website (3C.21).
Gavilan College has made provisions to assure a robust and secure technical
infrastructure, providing maximum reliability for students and faculty. We have utilized
the contractual services of an outside firm to provide quality network administration
services. We have upgraded the infrastructure (Symantec Gateway Appliance for
security and intrusion detection, upgraded switches, etc.) in accordance with the
recommendations of these consultants. Measure E will provide for significant
infrastructure upgrades.
Gavilan College has policies and procedures in place to keep the infrastructure up-todate. The District Technology Committee has a hardware replacement plan to replace lab
computers every three years, and re-deploy the computers from the labs to faculty and
staff as needed (3C.1, Appendix F, 3C.7). Upgrades to the infrastructure are requested
during the annual budget development process.
Gavilan College has given sufficient consideration to equipment for selected distance
programs. The Staff Resource Center has computers updated on a regular basis, with
new software installed as the needs of the staff and instructors change. Specialized
hardware is provided for staff and instructors, such as scanners, color printers, laminators,
etc. In addition, laptop computers are available on loan for the distance education
instructors, complete with standard software. Televised courses, Channel 18 GavTV,
library videos, and San Jose State live telecourses are included in the distance education
program.
Gavilan College effectively distributes and uses technology on campus. Measure E has
provided the funds needed to implement our computer replacement plan: computers in
classrooms should be replaced every three years in order to keep pace with the level of
technology demanded by industry and education. Classroom labs should be updated and
maintained using current technology as funding permits. Computers from the labs should
be recycled for use as faculty/staff computers where possible (3C.1, 3C.7).

The Title 5 grant has provided funding for a Digital Media Lab, which utilizes Macintosh
computers. Selected instructional programs and staff also require the use of Macintosh
computers.
EVALUATION:
Gavilan College is following the existing hardware and software standards developed by
the District Technology Committee. The web and network management standards are
still being developed by various sub-committees under the DTC. The Section 508
standards (3C.22) will need to be implemented once the Board restructures the
Administrative procedures.
Gavilan currently has a plan for distribution and utilization of technology resources to
support the development, maintenance, and enhancement of programs and services. The
Technology Master Plan addresses some of these issues (3C.1, Appendix F). The
Replacement Plan (3C.1, Appendix F), the Computer Hardware Standards (3C.1,
Appendix E.1), and the Computer Software Standards (3C.1, Appendix E.2) currently
relate to the distribution and utilization of technology resources and are being followed.
However, to be comprehensive, this all-inclusive plan should prioritize technology issues
that include the following areas: safety, security, equal access, cost effectiveness,
improve education, and improve operations. These areas will be addressed in the update
of the District Technology Plan.
The Computer Replacement Plan does not address the upgrade of Macintosh computers.
The DTC discussed criteria for determination of the instructional programs and staff that
require the use of Macintosh computers (3C.7, Dec. 15, 2005, Jan. 19, 2006). This is
currently under review by the Vice President of Instruction.
Once Measure E funds are expended, general funds will be needed to support and
upgrade the infrastructure. There will be a need for the district to address the impact of
its technological investments and to provide an ongoing financial commitment.
PLAN:




Include ongoing technology expenditures in the district’s base budget, following
the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) model.
Complete development of the web and network management standards as a part
of the revision to the District Technology Plan.
Include a comprehensive plan for the distribution and utilization of technology
resources to support the development, maintenance, and enhancement of its
programs and services in the District Technology Plan update.
Fund the computer replacement plan after Measure E funds are no longer
available.

2. Technology planning is integrated with institutional planning. The institution
systematically assesses the effective use of technology resources and uses the
results of evaluation as the basis for improvement.
DESCRIPTION:
Gavilan College ensures that facilities decisions relating to technology emanate from
institutional needs and plans for improvement through the Technology Master Plan
(3C.1). The plan initiatives were developed from the institutional needs identified in the
Educational Master Plan, Facilities Master Plan, Telecommunication Technology
Infrastructure Program (TTIP) and the Chancellor’s Office Guidelines for Disabled
Student Programs and Services. The District Technology Committee considers these
issues and makes recommendations for improvement. The recommendations are
forwarded to the President’s Council and then to the budget development process. In the
past, budget constraints have limited our ability to implement many recommendations;
however, many of the initiatives in our Technology Master Plan have been completed.
Currently, Measure E funding and the associated facilities planning meetings and forums
have generated input from all faculty, staff, students, and community members. Future
facilities decisions need to be included in the update of the Technology Master Plan.
Since the current Technology Master Plan (3C.1) was designed to be a living document
for identifying and developing initiatives, Gavilan is currently in the process of updating
it. To ensure that technology planning is integrated with institutional planning, the
update will include all technical aspects that support the Strategic Plan, the Educational
Master Plan, and the overall vision of the campus.
The “Minimum Technology Standards in Classroom and Labs” was drafted in
consultation with the Academic Senate, Academic Senate Tech Task Force, and Alfa
Tech, a private consulting firm. At the District Technology Committee meeting on
January 19, 2006, it was recommended that the report will become a part of the revised
Technology Plan, acting as a living document (3C.7).
EVALUATION:
The District Technology Committee continues to monitor the current Technology Master
Plan while making technology related decisions. In October 2005, the district hired a
consultant to improve and update the existing plan.
Gavilan College bases its technology decisions on the results of evaluation of program
and service needs. The current Minimum Standards for Classrooms and Labs document
is the result of meetings with faculty, staff, and students and incorporated into the
Technology Master Plan (3C.6). The District Technology Committee discussed the need
to develop periodic surveys for gathering input from the Gavilan community into
technology services at the December 15, 2006 meeting (3C.7).
Gavilan College prioritizes needs when making decisions about technology purchases by
taking issues to the DTC. The DTC needs to address the following issues (in order of
