Special
Technology-Related Initiatives Supported by Regular College Funds:
Distance Education: The College provides an extensive array of
distance learning courses that are funded from the regular College budget. In additional to more than 180 different
asynchronous courses available through a variety of formats, the College offers
synchronous courses through the VCCS compressed video network. Students can also earn several complete
degrees through asynchronous courses.
Support for distance education comes from the Extended Learning
Institute, the Campus LRCs and the Campus Testing Centers. There are more than 15,000 enrollments in
distance education courses annually.
Development of new courses and new services for distant learners is an
on-going process.
Support for Academic Technology Use: Both
Technology Plan funds and regular College funds are used to support academic
technology use in distance and campus-based learning for academic and student
support programs.
For faculty and staff support, faculty and staff receive
technology applications training through the Technical Applications Center
(TAC), Extended Learning Institute, Human Resources, campus TLTR initiatives,
and one-on-one mentoring from colleagues (e.g. Dogwood project). Some of the campuses have built mentoring
into their campus technology plans and use campus technology funds to support these
activities.
Internet/web use has become a job expectation for faculty and staff as
well as maintenance of a Web presence.
The College’s M&O funds, along with Technology Plan funds, provide
the services of the Technical Application Center and the Extended Learning
Institute to train and support faculty and staff in web development. Annandale and Loudoun campuses also have
dedicated staff to assist faculty with web use and web site development.
Many distance learning courses at NVCC and many traditional courses use
the Blackboard course management system to deliver distance learning. The College will convert to the new VCCS
Blackboard server as soon as it is operational.
A large proportion of campus classrooms are now equipped with a computer
and a projector for instructional use as the result of Technology Plan
funds. Classroom of the Future Funds
will be used to increase the number of equipped classrooms on where all rooms
have not yet been equipped.
For student support programs, the new
SIS system will provide students online access to their grades, unofficial
transcripts, and course registration. The necessary technical infrastructure
has been installed.
The
College publishes a Student Technology Guide written to help students to
learn how to use the technology resources available to them at NVCC.
Technology
Plan funds support P-14 positions at the IT Helpdesk used by faculty, staff,
administrators, and students at NVCC.
College funds are used to offer students online library support -- campus
as well as distance learning students can email the reference librarian with
questions.
Some of the campuses use campus funds to offer online Writing Centers --
students (including Distance Learning students) can submit writing assignments
via email and receive a written email consultation.
Electronic resources (e.g. VIVA)
are incorporated into teaching and learning activities of distance and campus
based students through a grant where librarians at NVCC work with
instructors in a variety of disciplines to develop "library
assignments" that make use of VIVA, thereby effecting an "information
literacy across the curriculum" project.
Access to Microsoft software for IST
classes is provided through membership in the MS Developers Network.
2002-2003 College Technology
Plan and Budget
The strategies and
related budgets that follow have been established to achieve the VCCS and NVCC
goals and objectives. To identify
appropriate strategies, the campuses reviewed the results of their prior year
technology plans and established priorities through the College Information
Technology Committee. Campus responses
to the annual VCCS Technology Survey were also used to identify the appropriate
strategies to include in this plan.
Individual campuses and units will establish specific objectives and
plans for their role in implementing each of these strategies. Campus, ELI and College Staff TLTRs will
also be expected to play a role in developing campus plans.
Funding for the budgets below comes from several
sources: VCCS Technology Funds
allocated to the College to support its Technology Plan and additional
Infrastructure Support Funds designated by the College from its M&O budget
to operate the college-wide technical infrastructure and application support. Funding Levels for 2002-2003 are: $582,906 from Technology General Funds
$2,232,270 from the Student Technology Fee,
$810,613 from Equipment Trust Fund, and $600,000 in College
Infrastructure and Application Support Funds.
Surplus Technology Fees collected in prior years and held as a reserve
may be used to enhance or replace College M&O contributions to the
Technology Plan.
