Hanh gave an update on IT activities. The cable infrastructure is in progress and should be completed by February. This will include VOIP, a new phone system,  wireless, and other upgrades.

 

 

Also by mid spring faculty should be able to submit printing orders online. Omniupdate has 25 user licenses. IT is developing a faculty portal website for faculty to post their syllabi and class materials for students. This system will be rolled out in the Spring 2008, and both Tech Committee and Staff Development will work together in getting faculty to use this system and upload their profiles and syllabus/textbook for class. This will be a great improvement.

 

Terry Carter has trained faculty in the use of the smartclassrooms. Tech Comm should follow up and see what support Terry needs to complete this training. We should add to the AV website a list of the smart classrooms, and maybe a color code on the EMS calendar system so faculty know which rooms are smart classrooms.

 

The Tech Comm reviewed its objectives, and made the following changes

* Study, review, advise and recommend policies (changed from "regulations")

* delete provide guidelines and leadership in the development of technology for computer assisted instruction

* add instead language on "accessibility"

* Coordinate with (delete Distance Education Committee) change to "the shared governance committees and the standing committees of the College"
