1. Computer Replacement Plan Approval for
College Council
Marty
Gang distributed the Tech
Purchase Plan 2007-08 First Draft to committee members. He explained the document and discussed technology
needs for Media Services, the Computer Replacement Plan and the ITC. The Tech
Purchase Plan 2007-08 is attached. Lottery and Block Grant monies are
forthcoming, and our prioritized plan is now in place. The Technology Committee expressed their
thanks to Marty and the Tech Team for developing and presenting a campus-wide
comprehensive plan in a very even-handed manner.
2. ITC Report No report
3. Distance Education Report
Marty would like to make a
statement change in the campus Educational Master Plan. Within the technology section, theres a
statement which mentions an annual review of the Summary of
Recommendations. With the new Technology
Plan being written, Columbia
College is to building a
long-term planning direction which will involve goals and timelines. It is not being proposed to do away with
items in the Summary of Recommendations generally, but simply proposing a
different way of accomplishing results.
The items listed in the old Summary of Recommendations need to be
sequenced and timed. They will no longer
be known as the Summary of Recommendations.
Therefore, Marty would like to request the change within the campus
Educational Master Plan to read
there will be an annual review of the
technology goals timelines.
The following plans are
currently being developed within the overall area of technology:
Technology Plan (Consultant/Technology Committee)
Distance Education Plan (Consultant/Distance
Education Committee)
Title III Grant (The Technology Plan needs to be in
place in order for this grant to be completed.
Title III will fund the DE Plan)
There will be some overlap of
these plans with certain needs as personnel, equipment and support, the goal is
to keep plans in their respective areas but support each other.
