In support of the California Community Colleges (CCC) first System Strategic Plan (SSP), the Technology III Plan: 2007-2010 (Tech III) articulates a framework and direction for information and communications technologies that support the overall vision in the CCC Strategic Plan
Tech III proposes five initiatives. The initiatives are:
- Infrastructure Initiative: composed of projects aimed at bolstering key capabilities needed for reliable IT connectivity that is considered standard practice in industry. Specifically, the envisioned projects will establish redundant circuits, creating multiple pathways for connectivity; ongoing funding for connectivity of CCC-approved educational centers, known as off-site centers; and bolstering or establishing a baseline of wireless infrastructure at the various campuses.
- Institutional Performance Toolkit: composed of projects focused on providing key tools with the most utility for accountability and data-driven decision making, particularly in capturing learning content at the system level and connecting metrics to institutional performance.
- Adjustment of IT Funding Model: composed of efforts—many already underway—to institutionalize the IT education of faculty, staff, and students to enable them to evolve toward greater use of IT as the pedagogies continue to develop.
- IT Communications and Outreach: composed of benchmarking efforts with subsequent analysis and action planning to determine optimal communication means and methods to increase intersegmental awareness of the system-level IT resources available to students, faculty, staff, and administrators.
- Digital Marketplace and Enterprise Service Business: composed of projects aimed at integrating various enterprise-level applications at the CCC system level.
