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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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" 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.

the college's plan to have a projection system in each classroom.
Students benefited per

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

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.

request actually takes the best of two situations, upgrade
rather than
purchase new equipment, and will help us "keep pace with innovatios in
technology." Our
current
equipment and software does not provide instructors with "the best available
tools."
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 "all components of technology planning
will be measured against
their
impact on learning." 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.

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.

Many students require a bigger screen to display large fonts and graphics

LCD monitors reduce eyestrain

Because seizures in photosensitive people can be triggered by exposures to CRT
monitors, LCD
monitors
are now used for those populations.

Other advantages of a LCD monitors are: smaller volume size for more desk

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.

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" 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.

"The
use of technology should enhance human potential". (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
"brick
and mortar" 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 "video
field trip" 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.

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
