Technology Plan Review

Spatafore reminded the committee of the timeline to review the draft Technology Plan which everyone contributed to and notably a working group consisting of Cheu, Harrell, King, Pape, and Ranck. Spatafore requested feedback to the final draft Technology Plan 2016-2019. Figures must be added and numbered. Kudos to Edwin Carungay who did an outstanding job on the graphics and Alex Harrell for analyzing and color-coding the Technology Survey, included in the appendix. [Through a Nov. 17 committee email, the plan period was revised to 2017-2020 in view of the year 2016 coming to a close.]

Spatafore provided an overview of the plan document including the table of contents, the president’s preface, the introductions outlining the equity focus, college and district roles and responsibilities, the committee re-visioning process and development timeline. The body of technology plan includes strategic capabilities, three-year goals and objectives, a one-year implementation plan, evaluation plan, alignment with Accreditation standards and the appendix which will include survey analysis. Spatafore and Moreau discussed the alignment of the colleges and district plans.
