DE ANZA COLLEGE
Question 3: (continued)
What technology, software, or equipment would improve the effectiveness of your department?
Helping instructors to be more aware of the use of Office 365.
Our English Department uses a Yahoo Groups list-serv to communicate everything from
official announcements, to unofficial announcements, to questions about campus
resources for the faculty, to links to interesting articles. I would like to see an OFFICIAL,
INTERNAL, De Anza-owned list-serv/communication tool instead of using a private, for-
profit product like Yahoo Groups. I would also like this INTERNAL list-serv tool to include
clear protocol on what is and is not appropriate work communication. This protocol would
come from the District Office of Human Resources. I would also like to see an update of
the Open Media Lab located in the basement level of LCW building. That lab absorbs so
many of our Language Arts Students, as well as the rest of the campus. They need a
bright, updated, accessible computer lab. I do not think a campus of our caliber should be
sending students down to a basement to use these computers. They should have prime
real estate. They should be in the MLC building.

I do want to share that I am very happy
Phones that only ring campus numbers, for student and casual passing staff use. Sort of
like "white courtesy phones". Would also be useful to have kiosks that can play "how-to"
videos to answer common student questions; "how do I add a class" or "how do I find my
student ID?".
Phones, computers, Banner, monitors, scanners, printers, web pages.
Photoshop software
Printers linked to the Dactronic scoreboard and timing system
Projector
projector, excel
Regular upgrades for software and licensing; ability to use apps like Doceri that use
wireless connections from iPad to computer.
Server for file sharing, storing, and archiving a lot of data; and updates on some of the
software
skype, zoom
Software: Any software outside of our current resources that allows for a more timely and
accurate processing of captioned content. Equipment: Any that supports the recording and
archival of virtual presentations and meetings.
Technology for use in lab classes, and technology for demonstrations in science lectures.
The ability to electronically check students in and track what services they are here to
receive. We use SARS to schedule appointments for students in EOPS and I wish we
could situate things for them to check in when they are here for their appointment.
timely updates for software, faculty doesn't have administrator password
Up dated, newer computers with complete directions for their basic use in each classroom.
up to date software and operating system
update computer (at least IOS in computer) in MQ-2A - all classrooms should have most
updated major software
Update software (i.e. Office) and applications (i.e. Flash Player) frequently on classroom
computers. Dual projectors that enable simultaneous computer and overhead-projector
display.
Updated computers with fast, reliable internet. IPADs for data collection
Updating the electrical systems to projectors etc. Winter term I could get 15 minutes out of
a system before it overheated. The math instructor before me had the same issue.
Upgrade all macs in SC1 for part-time. Improve Wi-Fi in same area. It almost never works.
I have asked for it to be fixed often and nothing has changed.
Upgraded personal computer's operating system. Most software use is limited by the
installed OS. All computers in my department are still running on Windows XP.
VeiwsIQ slide "stitching" for our clinical courses Keeping computers updated with the new
software,
Video conferencing so we don't have to use Google chat. None of us have used zoom yet,
and some of our computers do not have webcams.
VM operating system in our Lab and extending to faculty computers. Hopefully this would
mean faster login time and quicker opening of applications such as Visual Studio. We know
it would allow more flexibility in updating software between quarters.
Voicemail that I can check through my outlook email.
We do not have enough computers in our Baldwin Winery offices.
We don't need more or new technology. We need more education in using what we have.
Wi-Fi in all of our teaching facilities including: PE 21, and Outdoor Fields Big Screen T.V.
with DVD and Computer capabilities - on a Cart to bring into PE 1 and PE 2 Something
other than Banner.
Word, Excel, Clockwork's
and grateful for our two Language Arts computer labs in ATC 307 and 306??. Please keep
funding these two rooms. We do use them, and it is a great resource for having students
write/type an assignment during a class session. I would like to see free printing again;
however, I know that is a big wish. I would like to see the current E-Print It kiosk be easier
to use.
