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. More than 300 different asynchronous courses
are offered through a variety of formats, the College offers a limited number
of synchronous courses through the VCCS compressed video network. The College also began offering synchronous
courses through a virtual web classroom beginning in 2003-2004. Students can
also earn several complete degrees through asynchronous courses. Support for distance education comes from
the Extended Learning Institute, College Television Center, 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 uses the Blackboard support
provided by the VCC Technical Utility to host its courses.
Most 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 upgrade and expand capabilities in these classrooms.
For
student support programs, the new SIS system provides 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. Students may also receive
help through on-line chat with a librarian through the LRC Live program.
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.
2005-2006
College Technology Plan and Budget
