Page | 2 Planning Overview

The Fresno City College (FCC) 2012-2014 Campus Technology Plan identifies major information systems and technology goals. This technology plan will not only guide the implementation of technology at the college, but also supports the Educational Master Plan and the Fresno City College Strategic Planning Goals. The Campus Technology Plan is a living document. As projects are completed, as new priorities arise, and as strategies change, the objectives contained in the plan will be modified to reflect the needs of Fresno City College.

Planning for the college’s technology needs is integrated into the college’s program review, participatory governance, accreditation standards, and strategic planning processes. The Technology Advisory Committee (TAC) developed the first version of a college-wide Campus Technology Plan during the fall of 2006. This document represents the efforts of both the TAC and the Technology Support Services (TSS) staff to update the existing Campus Technology Plan from the fall of 2011 by prioritizing technology goals at FCC for the next three years and identifying the current status of technology at FCC.

The policies and procedures included in this document are necessary to manage the technology on campus as well as promote technology use in the classroom and in daily operational business processes. Consideration has been given to all aspects of the college’s use of technology when outlining plans, policies, and priority goals. Once the technology needs are defined and prioritized via the planning process, the implementation of these resources is coordinated between the college-wide functional areas and TSS. This inclusive method allows the college to most effectively apply its funding sources (general funds, lottery funding, construction, bond, and/or grants) to comprehensively meet technology needs.

Page | 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The objective of the Campus Technology Plan is to provide a roadmap for addressing project prioritization and key issues facing technology deployment and use at Fresno City College. This plan is a guide for the efficient and effective development, implementation, and support of technology systems to enhance instructional delivery, student learning, and all associated district and college support systems, enabling departments and programs to perform their missions and achieve their strategic objectives.

The Technology Advisory Committee

The Technology Advisory Committee is currently made up of 20 members from the administration, classified staff, faculty, and students (see appendix).

The Operating Agreement for the TAC states:

The Technology Advisory Committee (TAC) develops, writes, evaluates, and updates the Fresno City College Campus Technology Plan. The purpose of the TAC is to evaluate, review, and advise in planning for acquisition, maintenance, and use of current and future technology throughout the college. The committee submits policy recommendations that are strategic in nature to the Strategic Planning Council, operational in scope to the College President, and acts as an advisory board to the District Technology Coordination Committee. In addition, the committee recommends training activities that assist all college faculty and staff in the uses of technology.

The TAC works closely with the various planning units on campus as well as with the Strategic Planning Council (SPC) on various aspects of technology planning and implementation. This includes, but is not limited to, establishing policies and procedures for hardware and software usage, policies on access to network resources and security, disaster recovery procedures for data and communications, data recovery and storage, establishing hardware standards, classroom technology standards, and advising on technology requests from planning units across the campus.

In the fall of 2006, the TAC identified seven Technology Principles that help guide technology implementation at Fresno City College. The Technology Principles were created with the goal of enhancing the college’s Mission and Vision statements.

See the appendix for Fresno City College (FCC) and State Center Community College District (SCCCD) Strategic Plan Goals and Objectives

Goal #1: Assess technology needs for students/faculty/staff on a regular basis. In the past, the committee has conducted faculty, staff, and student surveys of technology in the fall or spring semesters (see the TAC Blackboard site for examples of past surveys). These surveys are conducted as both assessments of technology skill levels as well as technology needs. As part of the planning agenda for technology acquisition and training, both the TAC and the Director of Technology’s office review these survey results. The Classified Senate and Classified Professionals’ Steering Committee conduct their own surveys of their members and schedule training workshops throughout the year based on the results.

Planning Agenda:

 Conduct a regular assessment/evaluation for students, faculty, staff, and administrators in terms of technology use/needs/training  Conduct community surveys of technology needs through advisory groups

Student, faculty, staff, and administrator surveys will be conducted every semester in coordination with the Institutional Research Department. Surveys will focus on new employees or students but additional surveys may be conducted based upon professional development activities and evaluations. These surveys will ultimately result in ensuring that appropriate instructional and administrative technology is provided for students, faculty, and staff. The TAC will create a community survey template and encourage departments and divisions to conduct the survey annually with their advisory committees. The results will provide community input in terms of real world applications for degree and vocational programs.

Page | 6 Goal #2: Ensure technology funding The committee strongly believes that resources must be allocated to technology on a consistent basis in order to effectively plan for the rapidly changing technological landscape. Both technology replacement and the acquisition of new technologies is hindered by unstable funding sources and a lack of accounting budget codes to accurately and easily identify technology expenditures across departments. A lack of funding sources for network equipment, specifically identified in past technology plans as well as the last two accreditation studies, still needs to be addressed. Reliable funding sources need to be identified to replace network equipment and infrastructure on a regularly scheduled basis. The campus needs a reliable line-item budget amount each year for equipment expenditures. Short of a bond measure, equipment replacement costs for network electronics are much too expensive to try to do on a one-time allocation basis.

Further, a reliable funding source is needed to refresh older technologies with newer ones, e.g. wireless access points (AP) with new wireless standards for faster connectivity, faster Ethernet switches, faster core connectivity (1 GB to 10 GB), storage area network (SAN), virtual servers, hosts servers, etc. A Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) model has yet to be identified for network infrastructure (switches, wireless systems, uninterrupted power supplies (UPS), and network storage) and as such, network upgrades will continue to be an unfunded liability.

The creation of object codes specific to technology will ensure that resources are being allocated appropriately, thus making it easier to identify expenditures.

The Director of Technology’s budget allocation is presented in the table below:

2009-2010 2010-2011 2011-2012 Director of % of Director of % of Director of % of Technology College Technology College Technology College General Funds & Lottery Budget Budget Budget Budget Budget Budget

Page | 7 Planning Agenda:

 Increased budget for Technology Support Services  Technology object codes

The TAC will make a recommendation to the Strategic Planning Council that additional funding be provided annually as a line item in the Director of Technology’s budget for technology expenditures based upon a hardware replacement plan, instructional and non-instructional software needs, and the research and development of new technologies. TSS will develop a Total Cost of Ownership model for the college. The TAC will create an action plan requesting additional object codes be added to the budget as a means of identifying technology expenditures campus-wide.

Though our physical network is in good shape and we have identified funding sources for a portion of our new wireless systems as well as a portion of our network switches, there are ancillary items needed, which have not been refreshed in years. Funding sources still need to be identified for the following network related items:

 Remaining network switches not funded through Title V proceeds. Approximately $1.1 million is needed to purchase Juniper switches to replace the remaining Cisco end-of-life switches on campus, originally purchased through Measure E proceeds. Approximately $400,000 of this has been earmarked from a Title V grant.

 Replace Uninterrupted Power Supplies (UPS) in all cross-connects with sufficient uptime to provide for switches that power mission-critical applications and equipment, e.g. VoIP, security equipment, etc. Costs to complete this refresh would be approximately $40,000.

 Video surveillance cameras in remaining cross-connects. Costs to complete this would be approximately $15,000.

 Technical training in Active Directory, Juniper Junos, EMC SAN, VMware, Microsoft, etc. Approximately $40,000 annually.

 TCO model for replacement of host servers for VMware server virtualization. Approximately $100,000 every 3-4 years.

 TCO model for replacement of Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) host servers for initial VDI implementation and growth. These costs depend upon the growth of VDI on campus.

 A disaster recovery solution for the campus network and server resources. Costs unknown. Depending on the scope and breadth required of such a project, this could be expensive.

Page | 8 Goal #3: Provide network stability Beginning summer 2012, the wireless network is slated to be replaced with the latest, state of the art wireless solution by Aerohive. TSS has already begun working on additional data storage with the addition of a storage area network (SAN) from EMC and Dell Corporation. Data integrity and recovery are managed within the storage network and current infrastructure.

Planning Agenda:

 Regularly schedule network infrastructure replacement  Ensure data integrity, storage, and recovery

The committee and TSS will develop a 3-year plan for the infrastructure replacement. However, the replacement plan is dependent on the implementation of goal #2’s planning agenda of the line item budget. Network Access Control (NAC) is a move to further secure our campus network and protect network resources (files, applications, etc.). This is in conjunction with “Zero Trust” initiatives, which will improve our ability to protect confidential data and allow people to access resources in a safe and secure manner. To accomplish this, changes will need to be made as part of our network logical redesign.

The TAC will reform the Data and Telecommunications Disaster Recovery Subcommittee in fall 2012 to develop a disaster-recovery plan for the campus that integrates with the District.

Goal #4: Provide network access Network access encompasses more than merely allowing students and faculty access to the wireless network. It also includes ensuring ADA accessibility, wireless local area network (WLAN) and local area network (LAN) access in the classrooms, and remote access to the FCC community. The Director of Technology’s office and the Alternate Media Specialist for Disabled Students Programs & Services (DSP&S) have conducted an inventory of all computer labs on campus to determine their compliance with ADA requirements. At present, 30% or 17 out of 56 labs are compliant. As stated in goal #3, the wireless network replacement will begin in summer 2012. TSS anticipates complete wireless replacement by spring 2014. Currently, a limited number of college personnel have remote access to the network (i.e.: Reg-to-Go counselors, select administrators, and technology support staff).

Planning Agenda:

 Meet ADA compliance standards for all computer labs on campus  Ensure wireless access throughout campus  Provide remote access to the network

The Director of Technology, in conjunction with DSP&S, will develop an action plan to ensure ADA compliance for all computer labs on campus. TSS will make recommendations to the campus for additional wireless access points and will seek to secure funding. Plans for remote access are underway through the implementation of the Title V grant (Activity 2, virtual desktop infrastructure and application virtualization). TSS is currently researching various methods by which they will provide access to network resources from off campus for faculty and staff.

Page | 9 Goal #5: Participate in the development of the District Technology Plan The TAC has been a willing participant in district-wide technology planning through its representation on the Technology Coordinating Committee (TCC). However, TCC has not consistently met for the past three years.

Planning Agenda:

 Participate in technology planning through the TAC and TCC

Ensure TAC representation on TCC when the committee reforms.

Goal #6: Increase the efficiency and effectiveness of campus processes The TAC formed a subcommittee in November 2009 to specifically address the need to reduce the environmental impact through the reduction of paper and waste. Its efforts were stalled however, due to the lack of standardization of electronic form submission. Some departments have created electronic forms based upon a fillable PDF format and students can pay some fees online. Admissions and Records has been using document-imaging software for several years and has significantly reduced its document processing and physical storage requirements. A future consideration to reduce faxing costs is the implementation and integration of a fax server into our environment. The ability of the end-user to send and receive faxes through our Outlook email client will help us realize the goal of a paperless system.

Planning Agenda:

 Develop electronic forms processes  Provide document imaging capabilities to the campus

The TAC will research and recommend a standard format for electronic form development and submission for the campus. The TAC developed and approved an action plan in spring 2012 for the Hyland Imaging Software. Implementation and rollout of the software will begin fall 2012 with the ultimate goal being that all document processing and storage will be electronic within three years.

Page | 10 CURRENT STATUS OF TECHNOLOGY ON CAMPUS

TECHNICAL STAFFING The technology support staff on campus currently consists of the following: one (1) Network Coordinator, one (1) Systems Technical Resource Analyst, four (4) Micro Computer Resource Technicians (MCRT), eight (8) Micro Computer Specialists (MCS), one (1) Audio/Visual Maintenance Specialist, one (1) Library Resources Assistant III, and one (1) part-time Audio/Visual Technician (see appendix for TSS Organizational Chart). Additionally, the Teaching and Learning Center, which serves in a training capacity for the staff and faculty, has one Distance Education/Information Technology Support Technician. Current support staff to computers ratio is approximately 1:250. The ratio exceeds typical educational industry standards of 1:200.

Through a Title V grant and Perkins funds, TSS added two positions in 2011. Unfortunately, a vacant MCS position will go unfilled due to campus budgetary constraints. The position will remain on the books and budget permitting, will be funded and filled in the 2013-2014 fiscal year.

TECHNOLOGY USER SUPPORT Technology Support Services currently has hours of operation from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Friday. The Helpdesk is staffed by Micro Computer Specialists (MCS) and Micro Computer Resource Technicians (MCRT) who answer phones, create work orders, and perform support functions according to their job duties and responsibilities. Work orders are entered into the FCC Helpdesk Portal, a Dell KACE K1000 system management appliance. Faculty, staff, and administrators may also create their own work orders by going to http://helpdesk.fresnocitycollege.edu/, and logging on with their network credentials. The system sends email update notifications to the initiator, allowing them to keep track of the work order’s progress as it moves its way through the system.

Technology Support Services is currently organized into six distinct work groups: Audio/Visual Support, Desktop/Helpdesk Support, Distance Education Support, Instructional Support, Network/Server Support, and Repair/Warranty.

COMPUTER EQUIPMENT

Desktops The FCC campus and Career Technology Center (CTC) have roughly 3,100 computers for faculty, staff, administrators, and instructional labs. Faculty and staff computers account for approximately 900 machines. There are 141 instructional and non-instructional labs with 2,172 computers. These labs include lecture rooms outfitted with a computer, special use computer labs for such areas as Admissions and Records, College Relations, DSP&S, Financial Aid, and two open labs on campus. A complete inventory of the instructional and special use labs can be found in the appendix.

Servers The campus currently has 27 physical and 49 virtual servers, which includes servers at the Clovis Center, the College Bookstore, and the CTC. Over the past three years, the campus has moved to virtualization

Page | 11 of the servers utilizing VMware and Dell blade technology as well as Dell PowerEdge rack servers. A complete inventory of the servers on campus can be found in the appendix.

Laptops Technology Support Services supports over 350 faculty and staff PC and Mac laptops. Laptops are used in various areas of the campus including, but not limited to, classroom instruction, various student services departments such as Admissions and Records, College Relations, Counseling, DSP&S, Financial Aid, and by administrative staff.

Printers/Copiers The campus currently has over 150 laser jet, inkjet, and impact printers. The primary printer on campus is a B&W LaserJet printer from Hewlett Packard. Hewlett Packard is the established standard printer but can be deviated from for specific applications or upon request of the end-user with written justification.

As of June 2012, the District is negotiating a new 5-year copier contract for the use of its multi-function devices (MFD). Fresno City College has 40 MFD’s on campus that are used as the primary printer/copier for division and administrative offices. These devices allow for printing, copying, scanning, and faxing in most offices on campus.

AUDIO/VISUAL EQUIPMENT The FCC campus has a variety of audio/visual equipment permanently installed in classrooms and available for checkout by faculty, staff, and in some cases the community. Currently, there are 95 Smart classrooms throughout the campus and 55 classrooms with either a projector or TV installed permanently in the room. Smart classrooms provide for expanded opportunities for instruction and learning. For a complete list of equipment and a list of the classrooms with permanently installed equipment, see the appendix.

NETWORK EQUIPMENT Much has changed since our last campus technology plan as it relates to our campus network equipment. We have engaged a network-engineering firm, One Interface, to upgrade our existing network configuration in order to prepare it for future technologies. Those technologies include, but are not limited, to Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), Multicast, Quality of Service (QoS), and Network Access Control (NAC). This redesign will take advantage of economies of scale, making incremental network changes at the same time large changes are made to spend configuration costs effectively and efficiently.

One Interface made the recommendation for us to move to a Juniper solution away from Cisco. After review, the campus and the District changed our network standards to reflect this move. Eventually, we will move from Cisco network Ethernet switches to Juniper, retire our Bluesocket wireless controllers and access points to a virtualized Aerohive controller solution with access points, and implement the newest Wi-Fi standards (802.11n with MIMO technologies). We are also engaging One Interface to redesign our logical network to take into consideration the implementation and integration of future technologies and more robust network security. This is a multi-year phased project with a projected completion time of four years, depending upon the availability of a secure funding source.

Page | 12 Our move to Juniper was based on numerous factors: switch cost, network software, maintenance costs, issues with Cisco 3750 switches, and network engineering recommendations from One Interface. A Juniper layer-3 switch providing 10/100/1000 PoE+ with 10 GB uplinks is roughly two-thirds the cost of a similar Cisco switch. Moving our Ethernet switches to Juniper from Cisco saves the college approximately $750,000. Further, software maintenance costs are free whereas Cisco charges SMARTnet service contracts for their switch software upgrades. Juniper’s Junos, the switch operating system on Juniper switches, is much easier to implement with other Juniper switches than Cisco is with other Cisco switches. The Cisco Internetwork Operating System (IOS) versions can be very temperamental when getting them to share functionalities or subsets of network features. Upgrading one IOS image on a switch can sometimes have a cascading effect on down level and up level switches. We ran into this with many of our Cisco 3750 switches.

The campus wireless system based on Bluesocket controllers and AP’s was implemented in 2006. At the time, the system typically saw between 50-100 faculty, staff, and student devices connected at any one time (predominantly laptops). As more and more online resources were developed for smart devices (phones, iPads, e-readers, etc.), connected devices and user numbers increased. We currently see between 800-1,000 device connections. We anticipate this number to grow and dependency on our wireless infrastructure to expand.

In the fall of 2011, TSS began to review and evaluate wireless solutions to replace our aging Bluesocket system. We reviewed Aerohive, Aruba, Cisco, Meraki, Meru, and Ruckus. Based on costs, complexity, and integration into our network, we made the decision to go with Aerohive. Aerohive is the only solution that provides physical, virtual, and cloud based controller options, which allows the district to utilize one controller rather than having one at each location. Cost and ease of use were other important factors. Using unspent funds from the OAB Phase I project and the equipment budget from OAB Phase III, we purchased the virtualized Aerohive controller and access points for this building. As funds are identified and provided, we will be removing Bluesocket AP’s and migrating to a single Aerohive solution.

NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE The campus physical infrastructure provided through Measure E funding in 2002 is complete. Fiber optic cables connect the buildings and cat6 copper cables connecting end devices to network access inside of the buildings have been constructed throughout the campus. This infrastructure provides for a very strong foundation from which the campus can, and has, built upon. With the adoption of our Juniper and Aerohive network equipment, the campus will be in position to adopt and implement future technologies. Some of those technologies already being implemented are as follows:

 TSS has begun the implementation of classroom VoIP phones to replace emergency panic buttons in the classroom. The phone will be implemented with software (Singlewire) that will allow mass notifications to the phones as well as other functionalities, which will add to faculty, staff, and student safety. Juniper switches were purchased for this project, taking into account port densities for future VoIP phones for faculty and staff. These switches will also be used to provide connectivity to our wireless access points and provide the network throughput needed (1,000 MB) for the wireless traffic.

Page | 13  As part of the classroom VoIP project, costs were included to provide network-engineering services to implement Multicast and QoS for our network. These networking features will provide guaranteed service to network protocols for not only VoIP, but also Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), and video surveillance. This will be implemented over the summer of 2012 and will provide growth for future, yet undetermined, technologies.

 As part of a Title V grant, approximately $250,000 was budgeted for the implementation of Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), which will allow the campus to push applications and desktops to students in cohorts through our transfer center. The campus has standardized on Citrix Xen products sitting on top of VMware hypervisors. This, in conjunction with our new Juniper switches providing 10 GB connectivity to each building, will allow TSS to implement provisioning services to our computer labs, extending the TCO of our computers, and allowing TSS staff to work more efficiently. As Power over Ethernet (PoE) thin clients become more prevalent and utilized on campus, energy consumption will be reduced, which will result in lower energy costs for the campus.

 As part of our logical network review, it became apparent our datacenter needed its own subnet, apart from the class B network used for the Media Center. We will be working with One Interface during the summer of 2012 to accomplish this task.

HARDWARE PURCHASING Although standards for computer hardware have been established (see appendix), the campuses have the ability to deviate from the standard when justified. Justification is made on a case-by-case basis by submitting a brief explanation to the Director of Technology’s office. Under the current format, computer purchases are made through a single vendor for each platform, Dell Computer Corporation or Apple, Inc. Other technology purchases are made through a quote process typically involving two to three vendors via a Technology Request Form (TRF).

The TRF process is used to request technology including computers, printers, multi-function devices, scanners, cameras, and other items related to both instructional and non-instructional technology. The TRF process is outlined in the appendix and shows the overall process from request through receipt and installation of the items. The TRF is not an approval/disapproval of the requested technology but rather a means of identifying support requirements for the technology, a preventative measure for making sure the request can be supported on the standard campus platforms, a means of standardizing hardware platforms for more efficient support, and identifying associated costs of the technology requested. Economies of scale have been achieved through standardization of hardware and centralization of purchasing

SOFTWARE PURCHASING Most instructional and non-instructional software is now requested through the TRF process and managed by the Technology Support Services office. The District office, in conjunction with the campuses, has identified various enterprise wide software licenses and has been purchasing and aligning license renewals for more than five years now. Enterprise software purchases include the following titles: Sophos Anti-Virus, Deep-Freeze, Turnitin, Net Support, Blackboard, and the Microsoft Campus agreement. The cost of the titles is allocated in several ways, including FTES, number of users, and

Page | 14 number of installed licenses. Campus-wide software for FCC is primarily purchased through an annual decision package request and includes additional titles to those mentioned above. Titles not falling under the TRF process (publisher provided or donated titles) are captured through the lab setup form process and ensure license compliance and that appropriate technical support can be provided.

SECURITY All computers on campus require password authentication for access. The campus has in most cases, not allowed end-users to have local administrator access to their computers. Anti-virus software is installed on all campus computers and automatic updates are used to keep Microsoft products current on the latest system patches and critical updates. The campus uses a password format that requires a minimum length of eight characters for network logon except in labs and special restricted access machines (such as the Web Room). Our current password expiration policy is set for 180 days.

The campus is Active Directory-enabled for access to local area network (LAN) computers and wireless clients. Network access and bandwidth usage is monitored using Orion software. All switches on campus are monitored for bandwidth usage irregularities and thresholds are established to send alerts when triggered.

Physical security for campus server and network resources has been successful in limiting access to those resources. Door locks to server resources have been keyed to allow only TSS and Building Services staff access. Additionally, network cross-connect closets are monitored for entry, heat and power fluctuations, and have motion activated cameras and two-way audio.

The district has standardized on Cisco surveillance cameras and media servers. Surveillance cameras are located in the Old Administration Building (OAB), Library, Child Development Center (CDC), T-600 buildings, the Art/Home Economics building entries, on top of the Bookstore/Student Center monitoring the Free Speech area, and the main fountain area.

DATA STORAGE & RECOVERY Technology Support Services (TSS) does regular backups based upon a number of software methodologies. Fresno City College currently uses four backup solutions. Veeam Backup and Replication does a full backup of all virtual servers every Sunday with incremental backups occurring Monday through Thursday. Symantec Backup provides a full backup of all physical servers every Friday with differential backups scheduled on Wednesdays. Windows Backup 2003 and 2008 both do full data-only backups on both physical and virtual servers on Sundays and differential backups on Wednesdays. The backup target for Veeam and Symantec backup software is the HP MSA 1500. The modular smart array (MSA) has six shelves attached for an estimated 30 TB of storage available to the backups. At present, TSS is looking for an Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) solution to take the place of the MSA for our backup target.

In addition, Fresno City College has also implemented the Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) as another means to backup and then recover data from the servers. VSS has been enabled on the volumes that contain data in the open, private and division folders (the O, P, and N drives). A shadow copy is a snapshot in time of a volume that duplicates the data on the enabled volume. This allows end-

Page | 15 users to recover data from a point back in time. How far back in time is determined by the amount of free space on the volume.

WIRELESS ACCESS There are currently 82 access points on campus. All exterior areas of the main campus, excluding parking lots, have wireless coverage. Limited access is available in select classrooms and conference rooms. Policies have been developed and implemented to provide all students wireless accounts when they enroll. Staff and faculty are required to bring district-owned equipment to TSS for configuration. Faculty and staff’s personal equipment may be configured for use on campus but must be configured by the user (see appendix for the District’s Wireless Access Policies and Procedures). Personal equipment must use the same encryption protocol and is subject to the same policies as the students. Wireless coverage maps and instructions for connecting are available on the FCC website and Blackboard. A project is underway to replace the current system with a new system based upon Aerohive. The project is slated to begin in summer 2012 and will complete in 12-18 months.

REMOTE ACCESS The campus currently supports a limited number of remote connections to the campus network. These connections are restricted to select TSS staff members, senior administrators, and online counselors, as well as a limited number of connections for off-site student registration activities (Reg-To-Go). The remote access server has been centralized at the District office. Current policy requires that any employee connecting to the network remotely use district-owned equipment. Vendors’ technical support personnel are given limited access to perform specific tasks and then access is revoked.

LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM The campuses and district use Blackboard as the primary Learning Management System (LMS). The system is hosted with Blackboard’s hosting service, ASP, and supported 24/7 by Blackboard’s partner company, Presidium. The district is currently in a two-year contract with Blackboard that is set to expire in January 2013. Course and user information is automatically loaded into Blackboard every morning, Monday through Friday.

Support for instructors and students for simple issues such as passwords and course availability is handled by Presidium and then escalated to local support when necessary. Formal training on Blackboard is provided through one-on-one training with the Distance Education/Information Technology Support Technician in LI-141, flex day activities, and 24/7 online training through Atomic Learning.

LIBRARY AND LEARNING RESOURCES Many of the library services are available online through the FCC website. Students can find books in the Library’s collection and search research databases online. Safari Online is a subscription service, which allows students access to books that are specifically technology related. The Library’s e-collection was increased by 60,000 volumes in spring 2012. Students can also ‘Ask-a-Librarian’ or request customized one-on-one appointments with a librarian during the Library’s hours of operation.

Page | 16 ONLINE STUDENT SERVICES Student and Resource Scheduling Software (SARS) is a system that manages student appointments within various service areas of the college. Originally, it began in Counseling and has recently expanded to include the Assessment Center, CalWorks, DSP&S, the Employment Resource Center (ERC), Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS), Financial Aid, Health Science Counseling, the Transfer Center, and the Tutorial Center. The software is also used to track student usage in the Athletics Lab, the Business Education open labs, the Foreign Language Lab, the IDEA Lab, LI-118 Open Computer Lab, and LI-148 (DSP&S Computer Lab). Eventually, students will be able to make appointments through the FCC website.

ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY Thirty percent of the computer labs on campus currently have assistive technology workstations (see appendix for an inventory and available equipment). Assistive technology workstations are also provided in the Library. One of the goals of this plan is to outfit the remainder of the computer labs to comply with ADA standards. There is a dedicated Alternate Media Specialist to assist DSP&S students with adaptive technologies, including the conversion of instructional materials to large-print formats, braille, and electronic books.

VIDEO CONFERENCING Fresno City College currently has six classrooms (HS-110, HS-150, HS-200, HS-210, HS-250 and LI-142) designated as distance learning classrooms with appropriate hardware and software to conduct two to four-way interactive meetings. Each classroom is equipped with the following items:

 Polycom 4000 or 8000 series video conferencing hardware  Elmo document cameras  Ceiling mounted projectors  Screens and whiteboards  LCD flat panel TV’s or CRT TV’s (two in the front of the room, one in the back of the room)  Computer and monitor  VCR/DVD players

The campus has additional video conferencing capabilities in two conference rooms on campus (the Health Science conference room and OAB-226).

DOCUMENT IMAGING, MANAGEMENT & WORKFLOW The use of document imaging for archive and document version management does not occur within a formal process but instead is managed by individual groups on campus using a variety of hardware and software. Admissions and Records, both on campus and at the district level, use the Hyland Imaging system to capture and manage documents for imaging, archiving, and retrieval of student applications, transcripts, and other related admissions documents. In spring 2012, the TAC approved and forwarded an action plan to SPC to implement Hyland Imaging software throughout key areas of the campus for the purpose of decreasing the use of paper-based forms, physical storage requirements for paper documents, and increased efficiency of document processing through electronic form usage. This project is currently underway and will add additional workflow capabilities.

Page | 17 STAFF DEVELOPMENT Technology support staff are trained by outside industry professionals brought to campus for specific and intensive computer and network training. Technical training that TSS staff has attended in the last five years includes: SABO ticketing systems, SQL, Cisco, Exchange 2007, Windows Vista and Server 2003, Sophos Antivirus and email appliance, KACE, Crestron A/V Control System, and Altiris imaging and deployment software. Technology support staff also receives offsite training by attending conferences and participating in intensive one-week training workshops. Recently, the Director of Technology purchased licenses for online technical training for the TSS lead positions through TrainSignal.

Classified staff technology training is offered throughout the year. This is addressed primarily by the Classified Professionals’ Steering Committee and Classified Senate. Classified Professionals’ primary training focuses on the Microsoft Office Suite, although they do address other technology areas. Classified Senate offers training a bit more specialized to the college’s processes (i.e.: Datatel).

Faculty are offered training classes on flex day at the beginning of each semester. Flex day training consists of a series of workshops that concentrate on the most critical software used by instructors, namely MicroGrade and Blackboard. Innovative technology sessions and distance learning special interest group meetings are also held on this date. Past technology-related topics have included workshops on ARTstor, Blackboard, CurricUNET, Epsilen, Micrograde Online, and Wimba.

Adjunct Connection, a project developed by an adjunct faculty member with support from the Office of Instruction and the Director of Technology’s office, for the first time provides adjunct faculty with a comprehensive orientation and resource guide through the Fresno City College website. Additionally, in the summer of 2011, 24/7 online self-paced technology training through Atomic Learning was made available to all Fresno City College personnel.

TECHNOLOGY REPLACEMENT

Computer Hardware For computer hardware, the current strategy is to utilize the guidelines established by the State Chancellor’s Office with some modification for various levels of computer processing demand and average daily usage. The replacement cycle will follow a three to five-year cycle with most high processing demand, high physical usage machines being replaced every three years. Those not meeting the aforementioned criteria would be on a four to five-year cycle, again depending on overall processing demand and usage (see appendix for Replacement Cycle Document).

Audio/Visual Equipment Audio/Visual equipment is currently replaced on an as needed basis. No formal maintenance schedule or replacement schedule has been developed but is slated to be completed in summer 2012.

Page | 41 Page | 42 WIRELESS ACCESS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

WLAN Access for District-Owned Equipment

Policy: It shall be the policy of Fresno City College, Reedley College, and District Centers to provide a secure wireless local area network (WLAN) for faculty and staff. WLAN configuration settings will be provided to faculty and staff to enable wireless connectivity for computing devices, especially those transmitting and receiving confidential student data. Campus technicians will assist in the setup and configurations of district-owned devices. (For personal equipment see: WLAN Access for Personal Equipment)

Purpose: The purpose of this policy is to provide a secure wireless network connection for faculty and staff to our WLAN. The goal is to provide ubiquitous wireless network coverage on campus; to provide faculty and staff secure options to connect to the district network resources; to provide a system that protects the campus network and those connected through security policies; and to provide alternative connectivity to support and enhance the faculty and staff’s ability to provide support and services to campus constituents at Fresno City College, Reedley College, and District centers.

Procedure: Faculty or staff will bring computing devices to the Director of Technology’s office (or other designated locations) where they can obtain wireless configurations settings and instructions on connecting to the secure WLAN. The campus technology department will provide technical support in the configuration of district-owned equipment.

To insure network security, faculty and staff receiving and transmitting confidential data will be required to maintain security settings provided by the Director of Technology’s office. These access settings will be different from those established for personally owned devices.

Faculty and staff will be required to use a network logon ID and password provided by the Director of Technology’s office. This account will be enabled and the faculty and staff members will be given their logon ID and password. If the faculty or staff member forgets their logon ID or password, they would contact the Helpdesk to have the password reset.

The campus will set minimum standards for computing devices connecting to the campus WLAN. A determination will be made by the Director of Technology as to the level of system patches and anti- virus definition dates required for WLAN access. Those devices not meeting the standards will be directed through a web browser where they can obtain the necessary patches and virus definitions. In addition, our web portal will make cursory scans to make sure malicious software is not present on computers attaching to the network.

Once the account is activated, proper network authentication is achieved, and patch and anti-virus standards are met, the faculty or staff member will be allowed access to the wireless network.

Page | 43 WLAN Access for Personal Equipment

Policy: It shall be the policy of Fresno City College, Reedley College, and District Centers to provide wireless network configuration settings and instruction to students, faculty, and staff to enable them to connect personal computing devices to the campus wireless area network. Campus technicians will not be permitted to configure (actually do the work) on non-institution owned equipment due to the liability associated with working on personal equipment and issues related to using public funds on non-district- owned equipment. (For district-owned equipment see: WLAN Access for District-Owned Equipment)

Purpose: The purpose of this policy is to provide a method for permitting students, faculty, and staff connectivity to our wireless local area network (WLAN). The goal is to provide ubiquitous wireless network coverage on campus; to provide students, faculty and staff additional opportunities to connect to the Internet; to provide a system that protects the campus network and those connected through security policies; and to provide alternative learning opportunities, which will enhance the college experience at Fresno City College, Reedley College, and District Centers.

Procedure: Students, faculty, or staff members come to the Director of Technology’s office (or other designated locations) where they can obtain wireless configurations settings and instructions on connecting to the WLAN.

The campus technology department will provide limited technical support in the configuration of non- institutional owned equipment. Support staff will act in an advisory manner.

To insure network security, faculty, staff, or students’ personally owned devices will be required to configure their wireless devices to settings provided by the Director of Technology’s office. These access settings will be different from those established for district-owned devices.

Faculty, staff, and students will be required to use a network logon ID and password provided by the Director of Technology’s office. This account will be enabled and the student, faculty, or staff member will be given their logon ID and password. If the student, faculty, or staff member forgets his or her logon ID or password, they would contact the Helpdesk.

The campus will set minimum standards for computing devices connecting to the campus WLAN. A determination will be made by the Director of Technology as to the level of system patches and anti- virus definition dates required for WLAN access. Those devices not meeting the standards will be directed through a web browser as to where they can obtain the necessary patches and virus definitions. In addition, our web portal will make cursory scans to make sure malicious software is not present on computers attaching to the network.

Once the account is activated, proper network authentication is achieved, and patch and anti-virus standards are met, the student, faculty, or staff member will be allowed access to the wireless network.

Page | 47 Page | 48 REPLACEMENT CYCLE DOCUMENT

During the spring of 2005, a plan was proposed and accepted that would systematically replace computers on the campus that did not meet the agreed upon minimum configuration or exceeded more than four years in age. The recommendation was made to follow as closely as possible the TCO recommendations of the State Chancellors Office (three-year replacement cycle). Although the State Chancellors recommendations are for a three-year replacement cycle, Fresno City College considers various factors including, but not limited to, student access needs, curriculum needs, budget, software application demands, level of user usage, and overall computer usage per hour when determining replacement.

Funding for the plan is carried out primarily through decision packages (funded through lottery monies) and agreed upon by the Vice President of Instruction, the Vice President of Student Services, the Vice President Administrative Services, and the College President. The decision package process involves consultation with each of the division deans of instruction, Student Services, and the Director of Technology. The Technology Request Form is submitted to the Director of Technology for review with standards and for quote development prior to decision package submission.

Prioritization for replacement typically follows the guidelines below but can deviate with consent of the supervising manager: 1. Instructional computer labs that do not meet the minimum standard 2. Non-instructional computer labs 3. Faculty, staff, or administrator computers

Prioritization within each category is done in consultation with the division dean and the Director of Technology.

The replacement cycle has been suspended temporarily due to budget constraints. The spreadsheet containing the replacement cycle inventory is not included in this report but is available upon request from the Technology Support Services office.
