7 Executive Summary The primary purpose of the Merced College Technology Master Plan (MCTMP) is to outline the technology goals that will help the District achieve its strategic mission of providing Merced College students with an accessible, affordable, and relevant education that improves the quality of life for all students and their communities. The plan also serves as a guideline to support the current and future technology needs of Merced College, the college community and the community at large, and serves as a tool for evaluating the existing technology infrastructure, and related processes, equipment, services, training, and other technology systems the District currently operates. The document is comprised of the following areas: Strategic Long Term Goals Strategic Objectives Service to End Users Support of Educational Trends and Curriculum Innovation Security Planning Rubric Reviewing and Revising Governance Policy and Procedure Overview of Current Technology Assessment Methodologies Determining Future Needs The intent of this document is to centralize the technology information of the college and to assist in institutional planning, budgeting, and assessment. In doing so, this document addresses Accreditation Standards IA, IIC, and IIIC. The Plan will be updated as needed, or at least annually, through collaborative work of the Office of Technology and Institutional Research (TIR) and the Technology and Research Master Planning Committee. There are several assumptions critical to use and implementation of the Plan: Adequate funding levels, including lifecycle funding, as identified in the plan are provided Institutional standards are followed by all departments Strict adherence to technology policies and procedures The Plan is a truly living document and will be reviewed and revised as needed, or at least annually Page 5

(Online Education Systems Program Review, Strategic Plan Goals 1, 2, 3 and 5, Accreditation Standards IIC, IIIC, ILOs Communication and Computation) Service to End Users Students, faculty, and staff have access to and have come to depend on a wide variety of handheld devices, which are the next collaborative platform. Featuring fast always-on networks, smaller mobile devices that are as powerful as their desktop counterparts, and innovative user interfaces, the newest generation of handheld devices can run highly interactive content as Web applications. Page 8
11 In order to support student success and access, this trend will continually drive demand for bandwidth, services, browse-able and interactive content, and flexibility in delivery of content. Support of Educational Trends and Curriculum Curriculum changes have undergone a paradigm shift in that technology is assumed to be available to support outcomes of courses. It is not unusual for changes to be made in instructional outcomes and related texts that have great implications for available technology and technical support staff. In order to support curriculum improvement and student success, technology staff and services must stay abreast of the demands created in the instructional setting. This includes providing access to Blackboard capabilities to all instructors who want to take advantage of this powerful learning tool. Innovation Innovation is a constant reality. Examples of innovative technology that are becoming everyday reality at colleges and other institutions of higher learning include: Cloud computing for storage Telephony and interactive work space Virtual labs for students and work stations for staff Social media as a major form of internal and external communication Student response systems (clickers) provide faculty and students with another communication tool Spontaneous creation and distribution of educational content In Spring 2012, a TRMPC Task Force met and developed suggestions for implementing cloud computing applications at Merced College. After approval by TRMPC, the recommendations were presented to President s Cabinet. Merced College will need to participate in innovative strategies and services in order to stay competitive with peer institutions and to serve its students and faculty. For example, research needs to be done regarding the use of student response devices in the classroom setting in order for a District standard to be established. Page 9
12 Security Oversight and integrity of student and institutional data is a high priority to Merced College. This need is not only driven by the demand to protect the information of individuals, but also by legal mandates. Technological advances will provide both challenges to protecting information and data and opportunities for providing more secure storage and interactive work spaces. Merced College must allocate resources and personnel to provide security for data and technology. Page 10
13 Planning Rubric All projects, technology, and services included in the Plan objectives must address two or more of the items in the following Planning Rubric: a. Alignment with Program Review b. Alignment with Institutional Strategic Goals c. Alignment with Institutional Learning Outcomes (ILOs) d. Support of Accreditation Standards Reviewing and Revising Governance Policy and Procedure Because there is an ever changing legal and technical landscape for District operations, it is critical that technology-related policies and procedures be reviewed at least biannually and revised as necessary. Policy and procedural changes can be initiated in a number of ways at Merced College, most notably through administrative direction or through the Academic Senate. Technology-related policies and procedures will be reviewed bi-annually by the Technology and Research Master Planning Committee. If TRMPC recommends changes in policy or procedure, it will create a sub-committee to develop proposed changes and, following a shared governance dialogue, will forward proposed changes to College Council for consideration. If recommended by College Council, the proposed changes will be routed through appropriate District channels. The critical factors to be considered when reviewing policies and procedures related to technology include: Security Legal and regulatory compliance Management roles and responsibilities Archiving changes in content ADA requirements Page 11
14 Overview of Current Technology Lease In February of 2001 technology at Merced College was in a state of disarray. There was no standard or uniformity in network equipment, computers, servers or fiber connectivity. Several courses of action were initiated, the first was to utilize the Gartner Group rating system to help evaluate technology companies and rate their products. TMPC decided to solidify on the enterprise tier rating for equipment. After considerable time studying each vendor the committee chose Hewlett Packard as the vendor of choice. This included computers, servers, storage devices, switches and core equipment. Hewlett Packard thus became the company for all hardware equipment for the District. The equipment manufactured by HP has been very reliable over the subsequent years. As the District embarks on the next iteration of the lease (mid 2013) considerable time will be spent in planning. This is done to select the proper equipment to allow the district network to operate efficiently for the next five years. Each area of the lease will be studied and evaluated with the help of HP engineers. The Purchasing department will also be involved in the project to keep the purchase of equipment in accordance with legal regulations. Computer and Audio Visual Classroom Technology Inventories Information Technology Services conducts an inventory of all computers connected to the college network annually. This inventory provides information on the year and type of computer and the software housed on each computer. This inventory is reviewed by the managers of the TIR area and by the vice presidents. Audio Visual maintains a current inventory of classroom technology (computers, projectors, document cameras, etc.) as items are installed and removed. This inventory is validated annually by staff visits to classrooms. This inventory is reviewed by the managers of the TIR areas and by the vice presidents. Lifecycle funding purchases are in part driven by the information in these inventories. Page 12
15 Network Infrastructure The network at Merced College provides mission-critical infrastructure to all buildings and its currency and health are critical to the success of all who work and study at Merced College. The network has undergone substantial upgrades in the last five years. It is critical that the health of this network and its role in supporting instruction and connectivity internally and externally be a priority for funding. ITS Systems and Services Datatel, the Strategic Academic Enterprise (SAE) system, has been used by the district since The SAE provides student information, accounting information, human resource information, and on-line registration. The Help Desk provides assistance to faculty and staff, enters help tickets, processes reports and produces documentation. The web design area creates and updates site content as well as assisting site contributors. Network services provides students, faculty and staff with access to critical resources including internet, portal, , Microsoft office products, SharePoint, SQL databases, wireless access and data repositories. The desktop support area installs new computers, maintains computer images, and troubleshoots computer problems. Telecommunications support adds, changes, and maintains all telephone connections. The student lab area supports all student labs consisting of imaging computers, maintaining lab software and tracking use of software. Blackboard The District adopted Blackboard Learn 9.1 as its Learning Management System (LMS) in The college had previously used the WebCT line of products which Blackboard purchased in The District uses Blackboard to host its online classes and to provide supporting content to students in on-campus classes. Blackboard provides many features useful to students and faculty including online discussions, assessments (exams), chat, messaging, plagiarism checking through SafeAssign and a grade book. The Online Education Systems department provides faculty training for Blackboard and assists students in using Blackboard through the Student Help Desk. Page 13
16 SIRSI SirsiDynix Symphony is the integrated library systems used by the Merced College Library to catalog and circulate library resources to students and faculty. The system currently provides access to more than 50,000 items in its database. These library resources are easily accessible to students and faculty via the online access public catalog (OPAC). The OPAC provides an easy-to-use interface that allows users to quickly and effectively search and find books, journals, music, or other resources that students can use to support their academic work. The items are easily and effectively circulated to students at the library s circulation counter by the use of a SIRSI Workflows client that allows staff to easily scan student s identification cards and verify the student s enrollment status. The students that are enrolled can then check out items and return them after completing their work. The student database is updated frequently to make sure that all enrolled students can get immediate access to library resources. SARS GRID/TRAK SARS GRID is an easy-to-use appointment scheduling software package for student service offices. It has a colorful, intuitive row and column structure for easy viewing and updating. It also has a walk-in component to register and track unscheduled visits and is web-enabled for students to manage their own appointments and for advisors to work with their own schedules off-site. Users include advisors, counselors, schedulers, students and administrators. It is perfect for multiple users in both centralized locations and multiple de-centralized locations and departments. Each department can create its own unique scheduling criteria. SARS GRID was designed and tested with extensive input from college advising and counseling offices. SARS TRAK is a student self-serve check-in/check-out system for measuring students' use of college services, such as advising, counseling, library, labs, tutoring, career centers, and other services. A personal computer at each site prompts students to record their arrivals, reasons for their visits, and departures. Students can enter their identification numbers using a keyboard, touch screen, or scanning device, such as a card reader or wand. Since students are prompted by on-screen instructions, no training is needed. SARS TRAK supports multiple languages. When integrated with SARS GRID, students may use the system to self-register for walk-in visits and check in for appointments, at which time the advisor will be notified of the student's arrival and the student's attendance will be recorded. Students may also use SARS TRAK to book same day and future appointments. Page 14
