Description of the need or intended use: Autodesk, like most CAD software companies, is on an approximately six to twelve-month revision

cycle.  This means we must continually update the software used in our classrooms.

 

We have been able to reduce gretly the amount we spend on software by joining a statewide consortium,

ACES(Autodesk Comprehensive Education Solution), in partnership with other Oregon community coleges

and high schools, coordinated by Lane ESD.  Our annual fee is $7,000, and we are required to pay this

fee every year.  This fee gives us an unliited number of site licenses and automatic upgrades to the

lates revision of each software product.  Without this consortium we would be spending two to three

times that amount.

 

Students benefited per year - 150

 

Benefit to students:

Our drafting program is bases on the industry-standard drafting software, manufactured by Autodesk. 

90-95% of job sites use Autodesk's AutoCAD or a related Autodesk product.  Students are required to

have knowledge of the most curent revision of this software when they enter the job market.

 

If we were not able to upgrade our CAD software at least annually, we wold need to close the Drafting

program.  Drafting without software would be the equivalent of Writing without pens or paper.

Description of the need or intended use: We have gradually been improving the Programmable Logic Control (PLC) lab resources by switching from

GE Fanuk to Allen Bradley (AB) PLC's. The software for the current Pentium 1 computers do not reliably

operate.  The existing computers used in this lab were built from an under budgeted grant and utilized

parts from other computers in excess of 6 years old. For improvements, we need to maintain existing

computers.  On average, these repairs cost $200 with several failures per term.  To upgrade this 15

station of AB PLC's, we will need to add 9 more.  These PLC's were purchased from an aftermarket

vendor for about $6,000 each which included $1,200 of licensed software.  If we purchase from AB

directly and commit to building our own trainers, we could secure the necessary equipment  and

software for  $3,000 per station.  At the very least, we should have 15 licenses at $1,000 per license

if bought in quantity or $1,200 if bought individually.  The heavily used laser printer is a shared

resource for the  electronic instructors and students in the building.  The machine is eight years old

and increasingly prone to jamming up. These PLC's are shared with the Apprenticeship program.

 

Students benefited per year - 60

 

Benefit to students:

This upgrade will make the existing PLC's more user friendly for the students.  Much of the local

industry is automated process control and use PLC's. Local companies such as Weyerhauser and Inovec

are major users of PLC's and have a history of employing our graduates.

 

Advantages: 1. This improves the PLC class by adding bit level manipulation capability to the material

presentation.  This is consistent with current industrial standards and lends continuity to principles

learned in previous digital course work.  2.  It gives us a means of delivering system level

troubleshooting opportunities that are not easily attainable with other program resources.  3.  It

easily lends to interfacing with robotics and allows the students to explore process control

techniques similar to those used in manufacturing plants.

Description of the need or intended use: Two out of three of the current servers supporting the Business computer labs are outdated and

somewhat unreliable. This project would entail purchasing two new servers and supporting equipment to

increase both capacity and reliability of the Business network.

 

Currently the servers are located in a closet in one of the computer labs. This makes it necessary to

interrupt class every time the servers break down. Having more reliable servers will help alleviate

this problem and lessen the amount of time spent by tech support personnel in keeping the servers and

classrooms operational.

Benefit to students:

The Business servers, which are accessible from any LCC lab and outreach center, house student

assignment files and drop folders for each instructor. Students can electronically submit assignments

anytime. The current, out-dated servers limit the size and amount of assign/drop folders available.

New servers would greatly increase capacity and allow more instructors and classes to utilize this

convenient and valuable tool.

 

The servers are also used to house the software applications used in the labs.  Reliable servers would

mean that the student is able to access these programs on a more reliable basis.

instructor in the CUS bench lab, and 5 to be used a spares and by instructors to prepare assignments.

 

The curriculum in each to the second year courses for CUS majors involves hands-on exercises that

simulate computer related problems-solving activities that are common for computer support personnel.

Many of these exercises are complex enough as to require more than one class period to complete. As a

result of these types of activities in CUS classes, the BEST configuration in the CUS bench consists

of 25 ÒmanagedÓ machines with a standard configuration, which are not available for students to Òmess

upÓ and 25 ÒbenchÓ machines that are available for students to use to install operating systems and

applications; as well as fixing intentionally ÒbrokenÓ computers. The current configuration of the lab

includes just 25 ÒmanagedÓ machines and thus students CANNOT be exposed to realistic computer problem

solving exercises.

 

 

Students benefited per year - 25

 

Benefit to students:

Students will gain hands-on experience installing software and resolving computer problems. This

experience will reinforce material covered in the lecture. And students will be able to work on these

exercises during lecture/lab time as well on their own whenever the CIT Main Lab is open.

 

 

College Plan article(s) and section(s):

Cost breakdown:

Hardware = (100%).

Software / Licensing = 0% -- We already have the necessary software and licenses

Installation / Timesheet = 0% -- CSW will assemble the machine, and that we can use current staff and

students to install these machines.

 

Each machine will cost about $925, so 30 machines will cost $27,750. However, we allocated ICP funds

to upgrade the ÒbenchÓ machines in our Networking Lab, and $11,000 to upgrade other student machines.

IF we receive these funds to buy ÒbenchÓ machines for the CUS lab, THEN we could use

networking ÒbenchÓ machines to upgrade the other student machines, and the $11,000 could cover the

balance the cost of the CUS ÒbenchÓ machines.

 

Having the ÒbenchÓ machines in the CUS and Network labs match exactly (same mainboard, Network card,

video adapter, etc) will give us more flexibility in how we use these rooms, and increase student

learning at potentially lower cost.

Description of the need or intended use: These funds purchase an Interactive Web Board (or Smart Board). This device is a screen onto which an

LCD computer projector displays a computer Òscreen.Ó The screen is touch-sensitive allowing the

instructor to demonstrate computer software by use of the touch-sensitive screen, rather than sitting

at a traditional monitor with keyboard and mouse.

 

Additionally, recording the contents of the screen, save it to a file and publish it to a web page for

students immediate download. Some models allow hand marking on screen before they are recorded. Some

models support a wireless tablet that a student could use to interact directly with the software in

order to better ask a question.

 

 

Students benefited per year - 150

 

Benefit to students:

All CIT courses involve a variety of electronic instructional media in addition to traditional

blackboard/ whiteboard for Òreal-timeÓ interaction between instructors and students. Much of the

content of these blackboard discussions are ÒlostÓ because of the nature of the media. The web board

allows instructors to capture those learning experiences for distribution to students who were not in

class, for reproduction after class and allows students and instructors to focus on the CONTENT of

their interaction rather than on the preservation of the images crates on the board.

Description of the need or intended use: The Center for Meeting and Learning has two computer classrooms, but received funding to equip only one

classroom.  This request is for computers for the second room.  The intended use is for continuing

education and contract training classes, and other computer classes that are scheduled on an

event-type basis rather than on a term by term schedule.

 

Students benefited per year - 2125 min est

 

Benefit to students:

The benefit to students is that not all students are able to fit into the computer classes that are

scheduled during the weekday or scheduled for a 10-11 week term.  For students who just want to take a

short term class, for instance one full day, or 4 evenings a term, and don't need the college credit,

this venue is ideal.  The computer classes that were previously scheduled through Business and Industry

Services and that are now divided between Continuing Education and Business Development would flow into

the conference center computer classrooms.  In the past, there have been thousands of students enrolled

in these short term classes.  Often it is working people who need to upgrade their skills, but don't

fit into the traditional student schedule.

services, track student progress for academic advising and generate data for analysis of

how to improve services to students. Programming and troubleshooting are needed for the

final phase of development and continued implementation, the addition of student self-

service features, and interfacing with ExpressLane and Banner.

 

Students benefited per year - 15,000+

 

Benefit to students:

All students who come to the Counseling & Advising Center and Career & Employment Services

will benefit. In 2001-02, there were more than 33,000 student contacts. (Some students were

served more than once.) This intake, tracking and referral system helps students receive

better initial information about their programs, opportunities for follow-up, and access to

services that increase success and retention. Completion of this proposed project will

continue to improve access to services for students and they will receive timely and

accurate information and referral.  In addition, the ability of the computerized system to

track student progress and generate service data for analysis will maximize the opportunity

for continuous improvement of services.

 

College Plan article(s) and section(s):

A computerized intake system would serve the goals of the strategic plan:  promotion of

student success, improvement of diversity, support to Process Redesign projects and the

development of coordinated systems to meet the college's current and future technological

needs.

Improved access and efficiency are critical given the thousands of students served and

the loss of staff through budget cuts.

 

 

Cost breakdown:

Four thousand dollars ($4,000) for programming and troubleshooting (beyond what Department

staff is capable of providing) to complete development and implementation, add student

self-service features, and interface with ExpressLane and Banner.

Currently, we have two OpenBook programs that need upgrading to function adequately.  While we have

WYNN Reader located in various sites around campus, we do not have any WYNN Wiz programs, which are

Description of the need or intended use: Students in the American Indian Languages courses will do some of their work in books, but

much will be computer-based and much will involve recording of native speakers.  Our tech needs

will thus be for computers and peripherals, and for recording and playback equipment.

We will need one desk-top computer with certain capabilities for the processing of

curriculum materials--some of which will be on discs, and some on-line.  We plan to use the

Can-8 system in the language lab, and we will need this computer for preparing programs and

exercises for the students.

Students will work during the term with native language speakers.  They will need to record

their sessions with these speakers, so we will need several mini-disk recorders (with mics

and table stands) for this work.  We will also need one larger recording system (a lap-top

with recording interface) for field work in the homes of elders and other speakers, and for

further gathering of language materials in the field (pow-wows and other gatherings).

 

 

Students benefited per year - 90

 

Benefit to students:

Students in these courses will need to interface with the spoken, aural language.  Because

we will not have native speakers of the various languages on hand at every class, the

voice in the computer and on disc will be critical, as well as the voice of the visiting

native speaker.  The students will not be able to pursue the proposed learning of the

courses without these pieces of equipment.

  We propose that these students will learn to speak and understand specified native languages.

Some of our students will actually study their ancestral language.

well as at the DTC. Laptop computers are also recommended because while this is a

computer-adaptive test it is delivered by a human tester. The computer provides the questions

and picture prompts. The teacher must alternately read the question, show a picture on the

screen to the examinee and enter the score of the student answer in the computer.

 

Students benefited per year - 1,300

 

Benefit to students:

The non-computer-based test previously used has been discontinued and replaced by this

test. Since pre and post-testing of all ESL students is a pre-requisite for receiving the federal

Description of the need or intended use: The ESL Computer Lab at the DTC consists of 25 Apple iMac and G3 tower computers on a

LAN. It is used for both access to the Internet, to class discussion groups and for access to

specialized software for ESL students. Currently 7 of these computers have less than 256M

RAM and the computers have multiple OSs and none of the computers have either OS 9.2.2 or

OS X installed, although the LAN is running OS X. Upgrading the RAM of the remaining

computers to a minimum of 256M RAM and installing a consistent OS will help smooth out and

speed up student use of these computers for instruction.

 

Students benefited per year - 300

 

Benefit to students:

By increasing the RAM on the computers that need that and standardizing the OS the lab can

operate more efficiently with less problems and provide students with access to Internet-based

and network-based software for language learning.

Description of the need or intended use: The Community College Moment utilizes students to design the layout of text, graphics, and artwork for

the body and cover of the journal.  Students also take photos that are used in the journal.  Currently,

students use my office and my computer when I am not there.  As you might imagine, this causes many

scheduling conflicts.  In addition I have a 6 year old computer that is having a tough time keeping up

with the demands of Pagemaker given the graphics and layout.  I also only have a 17 inch screen which is

not adequate to view the text to scale.

 

The Community College Moment has received local and national recognition but it operates on shoestring. 

This technology upgrade will allow students more freedom and better equipment to do their work.

 

Specifically, we are asking for a new computer, 20&quot; screen for layout purposes, a scanner for artwork,

and a digital camera so students can take pictures.

 

 

Students benefited per year - 2 per term

 

Benefit to students:

This equipment would benefit students by 1) providing them more flexibility in scheduling their time. 

2) Better equipment that matches the requirements of the job so that they will be able to work more

productively.  3) A dedicated computer that will provide greater security and reduce the risk of clutter

related issues.

 

 

College Plan article(s) and section(s):

Primarily, I think this effort is geared toward meeting our innovation objectives.  Lane prides itself

on innovative programs and the Community College Moment has been recognized by a Schafer award and by

the Leauge for Innovation as a pioneering effort.  Faculty and staff from across the campus have

submitted articles to this peer reviewed journal.  This particular request will facilitate student

involvement and allow them to participate as we model collaborative creativity.

 

Here is the statement on Innovation from the school's new Core Values:

 

Innovation

 

Support creativity, experimentation, and institutional transformation 

Respond to environmental, technological and demographic changes

Anticipate and respond to internal and external challenges in a timely manner

Act courageously, deliberately and systematically in relation to change

 

 

The Community College Moment was built out of a response to the community college environment and it has

a vision of scholarship that is truly leading edge because it goes beyond the narrow definitions found

at universities to include professional, technical, artistic, and activist ideas.

intended use would be to increase delivery methods of instruction with a projection system as planned

by TACT and the college's plan to have a projection system in each classroom.

 

Students benefited per year - 100-120

 

Benefit to students:

The benefit to students would be an increase of information being delivered to the students.  With the

benefit of using a projection system, all students will be able to see what the instructor is doing

rather than having the instructor going to each workstation.  This will allow more instructor time to

assist students in other areas.  This will also allow for the projection of Power Point presentations

and other demonstrations.

Description of the need or intended use: Intraoral radiography will be installed in Spring term 2003 using Carl Perkins funds, LCC Foundation

funds donated by local dental hygiene study clubs and $1,000.00 from the FHC Division by April

2003.  Full implementation of this project requires a Laser Jet 2500 printer with multi station site

license, a computer station with CD-RW, and scanner.  With this equipment we will be able to implement

digital radiography for use by students with dental patients.

 

Students benefited per year - 62 dental program students and approximately 15 adult education students

 

Benefit to students:

Digital radiography is being used in approximateely 25% or greater of the dental practices in which

program graduates are finding employment.  Cooperative education students placed in surrounding

communities are also finding this equipment in use while enrolled in the dental assisting program. 

Digital radiography technology will be implemented in the dental programs curriculum by substituting

radiographic techniques using chemicals and film for digital imaging.  Students need technological

support to digitize images,store images on CD's in patients charts, a color printer for saving hard

copies and a scanner to store radiographs or use radiographs in case documentation projects.  Students

will have full access to requested equipment for laboratory instruction, clinical instructional labs

and clinical patient care sessions.  The radiology facility equipment weekly hour usage is

approximately 27 hours fall term, 42 hours winter term and 32 hours in spring term.  Digital

radiography and requested support equipment will be used for bitewing, periapicle and panoramic

radiography daily.

 

College Plan article(s) and section(s):

Cite specific college plan article(s) and section(s)

The FHC Division and Lane has planned to bring current technology to students to prepare them for

dental practices they will encounter upon graduation.  Carl Perkins and annual Advisory

Committee Program goals and reports have supported the use of technologiucal advances in the dental

programs curriculums.  The computer station with CD-RW, printer and scanner brings technology to the

professional dental training programs.  The clinical facility treats approximately 1500 patients per

year with 90% needing radiographs.  Digital radiography is a growing trend and technological needs of

dental programs students must be supported with dental equipment and practices found in their world of

work.

Description of the need or intended use: Provide a computer workstation in PE 205 (Main Office) for students to access Banner web-registration

and on-line information. There is a proven need for this service. There was previously a CoCo-based

kiosk in the PE lobby that (when functioning) was heavily used by students (this kiosk is no longer

functioning). Our Main Office also provides a phone for student use to access Classline registration.

It is difficult to determine the total number of students that would benefit from this workstation,

because the demand for the service is not tied directly to one class. It would benefit many of the

students that are currently enrolled in Health and PE classes within the Division.

 

Students benefited per year - see above

 

Benefit to students:

Our front office support team currently answers questions regarding registration procedures, available

courses, and provides a phone line  for student access to Classline. With the college moving to web-

based registration, providing a workstation for students to access on-line class information,

financial aid information and find available classes, the assistance of the support staff will be

useful to instruct students in the new system.

Students who do not have access at home will benefit by having an additional resource on campus,

partially relieving the other sources, and reducing the frustration of long lines.

Description of the need or intended use: Distance Learning is proposing to expand access to the testing services area currently utilized by

Social Sciences.  The testing area can provide access to all Telecourses and On-Line courses for

administering On-line and Paper/pencil exams in a secure lab environment.  Currently this type of

&quot;Center&quot; is not available for many instructional departments. 

Distance Learning is purchasing an IP video system to connect Lane to both local High Schools, CLC's

and both Cottage Grove and the Florence Center capable of sending and receiving courses, training and

various state wide meetings.  IP Video provides another instructional deliver system, used by most of

Lane county  high schools, Oregon community colleges and sites all across the nation.

 

 

Students benefited per year - ~3,000

 

Benefit to students:

The funding for Part Time staff will expand telecourse and On-line student access to a centralized

testing center, reducing the need to come to campus for many of their courses proctored exams and

increasing the flexibility of distance learning courses, student work and home schedules and better

meeting their educational goals.  Currently there are no college wide facilities available that fit

this objective.

Initially it is estimated that ~200 students and an undetermined number of college staff who will be

able to use the system for meetings on an annual basis.  IP Video will provide instruction access

allowing Lane to receive and send instruction and training benefiting students and staff by being able

to participate in local, statewide, out of state course offerings and meetings without leaving one of

our campuses.

 

 

 

 

College Plan article(s) and section(s):

been extended until at least April 1st, and we are trying to determine if there is any point to

requesting Perkins funding for this proposal based on Perkins allocations during the last couple of

years.

 

Students benefited per year - 220

 

Benefit to students:

Upgrading to Windows XP will allow students to learn how to use the currently distributed operating

system.  There will be more stability in the operation of the computers resulting in less down time

due to operating system problems.

Installing MS Office XP Pro will let students learn how to use the currently distributed MS Office

package and better enable them to enhance their knowledge for both employment and personal use of the

programs.

 

College Plan article(s) and section(s):

Site specific college plan article(s) and section(s)

 

The request meets the SLI goal of &quot;applying advances in technology.&quot;

 

It also relates to the TACT One-Year Recommendation # VII.  While LCC @ Cottage Grove has been in

existence longer than the Community Learning Centers, we serve a similar purpose in providing services

to students who are not located in the urban area.  The proposal also meets Recommendatin VIII through

upgrading of equipment and software.  Our request actually takes the best of two situations, upgrade

rather than purchase new equipment, and will help us &quot;keep pace with innovatios in technology.&quot;  Our

current equipment and software does not provide instructors with &quot;the best available tools.&quot; 

Recommendation X also supports our request in that we are trying to provide the best possible learning

environment for our students.

 

The Technology Vision states that &quot;all components of technology planning will be measured against

their impact on learning.&quot;  Our proposal requests a minimum expenditure that will prevent us from

falling further behind in our ability to provide students with learning opportunities that are needed

to use currently available software and operating systems.

 

Goal 1.1 of the Technology Five-Year Strategy provides fundamental support for the proposal.  The

infrastructure in our lab to support and sustain teaching and learning with technology is eroding due

to advances in the Windows Operating System and MS Office and the requirements needed to support the

software in an efficient manner.

Total Cost - 30,000

 

Description of the need or intended use: These databases provide online access to abstracts and full text of articles from more than 3,000

journals, magazines, conference proceedings and special reports. Examples are: EBSCO database, which

provides information from general, academic, and specialty magazines and newspapers; SIRS, which

provides magazine articles, documents, government documents and conference proceedings on a wide

variety of topics of social interest; Oregonian (newspaper) and New York Times (newspaper.) The

library adds new or drops old databases based on curriculum needs. Because the library takes advantage

of pricing based on consortial arrangements, it may also add or drop subscriptions based on choices

made by the consortium.

 

Description of the need or intended use. Students need to use magazines, journals, newspapers, and

other documents to research assignments, complete projects, and satisfy personal information

interests. These databases allow students to search for articles by topic, download and print the

articles from any computer with Internet access.

 

 

Students benefited per year - 40,000

 

Benefit to students:

Access to these databases benefits all Lane students. And the fact that the information is online

means the library can provide access to many library resources whether or not the library is open, and

whether or not a student is on the 30th Ave. campus. Also, many instructors assign their students to

find information in scholarly, or peer-reviewed, journals, and many students wish to find information

on very specific subjects. The unique searching capabilities of online databases allow the student

much greater control over the content and currency of the information they retrieve than is possible

with traditional print resources.

 

College Plan article(s) and section(s):

Providing online databases fits well within the CollegeÕs strategic plan and commitment to using

technology to optimize educational opportunities. Because the libraryÕs open hours are necessarily

limited, providing resources which can be accessed from home and elsewhere furthers the libraryÕs

mission as well. Specific unit or college technology plans are:

 

Item X of the TACT One-Year Plan Ð Increase opportunities for student access to information and

technology. These databases provide the same information as can be found in print journals, magazines,

and newspapers, but do so online and can be accessed from any computer with internet access, thus

increasing opportunities for student access.

 

Goal 3-A of the CollegeÕs Strategic Plan Ð ÒLane will support the work of É initiatives to use

technology to enhance teachingÉlearning, and provide appropriate access for staff and students.Ó

 

NASC Accreditation Standards for Library and Information Resources Standard 5 Ð ÒAdequate library and

information resources and services, at the appropriate level for degrees offered, are available to

support the intellectual, cultural, and technical development of students enrolled in courses and

programs wherever located and however delivered.Ó

 

NASC Accreditation Standards for Library and Information Resources Standard 5.C Ð ÒThe institution

provides adequate facilities for library and information resources. These resources, including

collections, are readily available for use by the InstitutionÕs students, faculty and staff on the

primary campusÉ and off campus.Ó

 

 

Cost breakdown:

This money will be used to subscribe to a variety of online periodicals databases that vary in subject

matter and serve different educational programs. What is not funded from TACT can be funded by the

library's allocation for books and other print and audiovisual materials, but at the expense of the

acquisition of these more traditional library resources. The budget for library materials has remained

static since 1989, so purchasing power is much reduced already. We spend $30,000/year on online

databases, because of the benefits described above - $15,000 minimum would cover the cost of the two

major online subscriptions.

Description of the need or intended use: As security software, the Internet, and electronic resources become more advanced, the need for faster

computers in the library becomes apparent.  Currently there are 50 public stations with Internet

access in the library.  24 of these are relatively new machines, located in the classroom, running

Windows XP. The remaining computers outside of the classroom are 166 and rebuilt 233 MHz computers

running Windows 98.  The size of the hard drives range from one to two GB, and all NIC cards are 10

Mb.  Because these computers are constantly accessed by students, throughout the day they must be

restarted because they have crashed (usually while attempting to access a large PDF file from a full-

text database or multimedia website).  When a computer crashes, hours of research a student has done

may be lost; it can be very frustrating. In addition, providing tech support for computers with

variable capabilities is time-consuming and inefficient.

 

Students benefited per year - 40,000

 

Benefit to students:

Upgrading the 24 public stations outside the classroom will be a benefit to all students who use

library resources; the library averaged 6,600 patrons a week during fall and winter term 2003.  Not

only will this upgrade provide stability, XP Group Policies can also be used in conjunction with the

security software that is now in place, and computer images can be easily manageable because of

hardware consistency.  Two of the computers that will be replaced are used for students with assistive

technology needs. 

 

 

 

College Plan article(s) and section(s):

This upgrade fits into the college technology plan by increasing opportunities for a student to access

information by using technology.  The computers in the library provide a central role in learning

research methods, conducting research and completing assignments; upgrading to faster computers

enhances the learning process by reducing the frustration often associated with learning to use

technology, and provides faster access to information and to the computers themselves.

Benefit to students:

A population of students at Lane would directly benefit by using a large LCD monitor. There are 150

students registered with Disability Services, and an estimated additional 600 students not registered,

who have the conditions described above. 

&#61623; Many students require a bigger screen to display large fonts and graphics

&#61623; LCD monitors reduce eyestrain

&#61623; Because seizures in photosensitive people can be triggered by exposures to CRT monitors, LCD

monitors are now used for those populations.

&#61623; Other advantages of a LCD monitors are: smaller volume size for more desk utilization, less power

consumption, less heat generation, lighter weight, no harmful radiation, and improved brightness and

contrast.

Description of the need or intended use: The new printer will replace an eight year old HP Laser Jet 4M located in the reference area.  It 

will provide faster printing with a 100 Mb NIC and print 25 pages per minute compared to the HP 4M

that has a 10 Mb NIC, and prints 8 pages per minute.  Print resolution will increase from 600 dpi to

1200 dpi so PDF text and graphics will be more legible.  The new printer will also have a cancel

button allowing students and staff to cancel print job easily if needed.

 

Students benefited per year - 40,000

 

Benefit to students:

Since many of the full-text databases are now using the PDF format and include many graphics, a better

printer is needed.  If the student waits too long, they often print the document again putting more

strain on the printer and wasting resources.  The printer will benefit students providing quick and

clear printing, and also allowing students and staff to cancel print job easily if needed.

a computer support specialist present to help students and provide security.

 

Students benefited per year - +/- 3000/term

 

Benefit to students:

We anticipate that all math students will benefit from computer testing, labora-

tory, graphing calculator, or computer aided learning technologies in the near

future. Not only has computing become essential in mathematical practice, but also

computing resources are increasingly necessary in instruction.  Computer aided

sections in algebra,and computer lab activities in geometry and statistics have

been incorporated every term to the curriculum. The lab plays an essential role

in mathematics pedagogy.

 

College Plan article(s) and section(s):

Technology Vision & Guiding Principles:

Lane Community College and the Mathematics Division are committed to the appro-

priate integration of technology into services to our students, staff and commun-

ity within the framework of the College's mission, core values, and strategic

directions. All components of technology integration into mathematics curriculum

are measured against their impact on learning.

Benefit to students:

The number above is approximate and difficult to estimate without duplicating student counts.

(Conservatively, 150 full and part-time faculty x 2 classes a term x 20 students x 3 academic terms =

18000)

 

The machine presently has 163 user accounts which serve nearly 25,000 webpages, graphic images, and

document files to LCC students.  The material accessed LCC students includes course syllabi, course

content handouts, and student work, among others.  The college expects this trend to continue as the

new Banner system will almost necessitate that all courses have online syllabi and other related

information available to all LCC students.

Description of the need or intended use: This request is for 10 Macintosh Ibook computers, equipped with wireless network cards, to use in the

experimental classroom. The classroom was initially conceived as a multi-platform, wireless network

environment, in order to create the most flexible and innovative classroom possible. Because funding

from the original bond allocation was not sufficient to allow us to fully equip it, we have chosen to

originally set it up as a single-platform (i.e. Windows) environment. Funding this request will allow

the experimental classroom to move closer toward its original conception. It will also open up the

classroom to use by courses where the minimun number of students is more than the 24 laptops available

at this point.

 

 

Students benefited per year - 150 - 300

 

Benefit to students:

The experimental classroom is designed to provide a cutting edge environment for innovative teaching and

learning. The experience in the classroom will provide a valuable alternative to students compared to

traditional classroom settings. Its design will also allow instructors to offer innovative curriculum

choices that might not be available to students otherwise. This particular request for the classroom

will open up the class to more students, provide a wider range of hardware and software options, and

help students learn to use a wider range of information technologies.

 

 

College Plan article(s) and section(s):

This use fits with TACT's technology vision and guiding principles. It also corresponds with specific

aspects of the Learning College principles, including creating as many options for learning as possible,

Description of the need or intended use: The Social Science Department, one of the largest at Lane with a yearly FTE of 991.3, has utilized

computer testing for over a decade.  LCC has come a long way from it first online testing system which

ran on dumb terminals on the HP3000 (soon to be retired permanently when Banner is fully implemented).

 Over the last 4 years, the archaic mainframe system was replaced by a modern web-based system called

TestPilot. This system requires a web enabled computer with individual IP address for test security.

When the Center 4th Floor model is complete, the old testing room will be a newly refurbished and

expanded room.  To serve the most students, these rooms will be furnished with individual cubicle sized

desks.  At only 30 inches wide, regular tower computers and CRT monitors will not fit into these

spaces, so we have opted to purchase iMac 17&quot; LCD screen computers.  These computers come with CDROM

drives in order that students can actually utilized the CDROM tutorials and other educational materials

that come with most department textbooks.

 

 

Students benefited per year - 7500

 

Benefit to students:

Within the next decade, experts predict that all students will have taken a computerized test during

their educational career.  Even the Department of Drivers and Motor Vehicles has switched to a

computerized drivers license testing system.  LCC students should have the opportunity to participate

in this technological change.  Presently, LCC's online testing resources are limited, with the Social

Science Department, in coordination with English, Foreign Language and Speech, and Science providing

the largest online testing facility, second only to LCC's official placement testing facility in

Students First.  More and more courses are requiring that students utilized technology to enhance their

learning experience, and this goes beyond surfing the internet for information.  Online testing and

computer tutorials with constant availability and customized feedback is an important tool which help

students to learn. More important for faculty, and resulting in better learning opportunities for

students, taking tests in a secure, quiet, proctored space, utilizing technology not only models good

academic practice, but it also frees students for more quality classroom time. 

 

Students, already stressed with having to taking class tests or study for a test using a computer CDROM

tutorial, will be able to read and interact with a pleasant LCD screen on a new computer which won't be

prone to crash.  This happens often now, using our outdated, low-end, small, poor quality CRT computers

and screens, adding to an already stressful situation.  Online testing can be a much more positive

experience without technical glitches.  Also, the new tests and tutorials need machines that can

display not only text, but intricate graphics, audio files, and video clips.

&quot;The use of technology should enhance human potential&quot;.  (LCC 5 year tech plan)  Testing and assessment

will always be an integral part of the educational system. Providing a quality, helpful, and fulfilling

technology experience in this realm is the purpose of this request. Computerized testing saves

resources (such as paper, copy costs, and Scantron prices) and increases student access by making forms

of assessment and content tutorials available over a wider expanse of time and place.  Recently, LCC

Distance Learning courses have been attracting students who live outside of Lane County, and in some

cases, outside of the state. Online testing is beginning to replace wasteful and less secure practices

such as postal mail & faxing. Through this maintenance and upgrade proposal, LCC should continue to

offer these resources to its students.

Description of the need or intended use: Two video cameras for student projects and training, class session streaming and archiving,

bringing community events into the classroom.

 

Students benefited per year - 2800

 

Benefit to students:

Students in Social Science's Community Service program would tape, playback and and review

counselor training and roleplaying sessions, and mock interviews, and modeling of counseling

methods. This was formerly done with an old analog camera which is broken needs replacing.

 

Additional uses for Social Science students would include videotaping in-class presentations

by students and archiving class sessions which featured guest speakers or panel discussions

for use in future classes. Students would also be able to view such sessions on a DVD put on

reserve in the library if they missed the presentations.

 

Distance learning applications include being able to stream video live on the internet,  making

&quot;brick and mortar&quot; classes available to students in telecourse or on-line form and the ability of

instructors to bring in video footage of interviews with local scholars, footage of historical

landmarks and buidlings, human behavior, cultural practices of various ethnic communities,

religious ceremonies, and local political and community events relevant to classes. The

instructor could tape footage at such events and bring back to class a &quot;video field trip&quot; where an

actual fieldtrip would be expensive or impractical to organize. Also, the new Studio Classroom

only has two cameras. Dean Middleton has said that for panel discussions it would be

extremely helpful to have a third camera, which we could bring in as needed. Taping a panel of

4 or more people would be difficult with the present 2 camera setup.

 

Two broadcast quality cameras would be the best way to fund this project. Materials produced

could be burned to DVD and would be the same quality as professional produced material.

Also, material shot on these cameras could be edited with material shot in the studio. Lower

quality video and audio could not be spliced in with studio classroom material--the shift back

and forth from lower to broadcast quality would be jarring and look extremely unprofessional.

These cameras could be used to produce our own in-house distance learning and

telecourses.

Description of the need or intended use: Digital voice recorder to archive class lectures and stream them over the internet or have them

available to students on CD.

 

Students benefited per year - 600

 

Benefit to students:

Students who miss class will be able to hear lecture and class discussion by going to my

website. Important topics from past classes or guest speakers could  be archived on CD for

check-out in the library. Students could also get a recording of office hours session for playback

at their leisure so they would not have to concentrate on taking notes. Voice content could be

added to class websites and tutorial CDs available to students in the computer lab. This will

also be a great benefit for sight-impaired students or those with learning disabilities who

would benefit from reviewing lectures and discussions at their own pace.
