http://techplan.sbctc.edu Online and Distributed! Who wants copies?
Leg Session … so far • House Higher Ed:Walton, Scroggins, Green • K-20 funding: SB 5256 (& down by $4M in the biennium in Gov budget) • Digital Learning Commons: SB 5410 • Seeking amendments • Textbook Info: HB 1025 • Seeking amendments • Working with legislature on “Higher Education Technology Funding Priorities”
What am I telling Legislative Committees about the Strategic Technology Plan?
Recommendations / Big Ideas • Access for all students and all colleges • Single, centrally funded solutions for common systems • Rule of 1: do it once • Rule of 0: don’t do it • Don’t build software, don’t host servers • Retain local branding and admin control
Recommendations / Big Ideas • Cost Savings • licenses, hosting, help desk, professional development • transaction costs: integration, RFPs, vendor relationships • Value Proposition • Don’t focus local resources (people, money, time) on commodity technology services • Use best solutions wherever they may be • Video
Recommendations / Big Ideas • Have a P-20 conversation • New IT Governance • CIS moved to SBCTC • Align decision making, policy and funding • Open Educational Resources • Use others and share our digital content • Move toward open textbooks
Work Completed • Elluminate (system + HECB) • 1,290 faculty & staff accounts • 3,010 rooms online • 671 meetings have taken place • $155K / year (unlimited license, hosting, training) • WashingtonOnline “ANGEL” • LOR, sharing courses, ePortfolio • Open textbooks – joined CCC OER • 24/7 virtual library reference: $12K / year
What is Next for WashingtonOnline? • Colleges looking at ANGEL (lower tech fee) • new capability to share content system-wide • Use existing Pooled Enrollment • In bad budget times – colleges close programs. How will you deliver your students the courses they need? • Enrolling College – keeps all FTE & Tuition • Teaching College – gets $50/credit hour/student • Student gets the course she needs! • WashingtonOnline facilitates – takes no $
What is Next? • Redesign and Open 100 courses • Open textbooks, open courseware • “Go-Forward” (administrative systems) • Leveraging networked IT Services “in the cloud” • Allows colleges to “go core” • i.e., focus on learning and student services
2009 LEGISLATION • Each week during session the State Board is tracking bills in both the House and Senate. • see a complete summary of bill status reports, Legislative News, or one-page issue summaries visit the SBCTC legislative information Web site at: http://www.sbctc.ctc.edu/college/l_index.aspx
Governor’s 2nd inaugural address • “Today, 18,000 full-time students at our community and technical colleges are earning course credits online. It would take an additional four community colleges to offer all those classes the old-fashioned way.”
Budget Update We stay on-message. “CTCs are the solution to WA’s economic problems.” See Word document for details. ELC message: we are the system’s enrollment growth area.
Ongoing Online Learning Growth • 2004 annualized FTE = 9,372 • 2008 annualized FTE = 18,038 • Over 83,000 students learn online each year • eLearning enrollments up more than 23% (Fall 07 – Fall 08) • Growth projections: by 2019, 51% or 78,344 of system FTE will be enrolled in online or hybrid courses
Ongoing Online Learning Growth • 45% of all CTC graduates earn 15 or more credits online or hybrid • 2008 summer online enrollments increased between 30 and 216 percent • 23 colleges offer 86 different degrees and certificates online • 16 colleges offer an AA degree online • Community and Technical Colleges teach over 80% of all online FTE in WA higher education
2008 Online + Hybrid LearningGas / Carbon Savings • 1.9M round trips avoided • = reduced traffic congestion • 2.1M gallons of gas saved • x 19.4 lbs = 42 million pounds of carbon dioxide that did not go into the air http://www.fhcrc.org/about/pubs/center_news/weekly/img/2007_0806_i5_traffic.jpg
