TMAPP College Telecommunications Plans Mini-Grants

Ventura College

Ventura College will develop a comprehensive telecommunications infrastructure plan using the input of all campus constituencies and external stakeholders to interface with the educational and facilities plan. In addition, the Chancellor’s Office documents, “Baseline for Planning and Implementing an Internal Campus Telecommunications Infrastructure Systems for the California Community Colleges" and "Telecommunications Infrastructure Planning,” will be used as tools to develop the plan.

Under the direction of the Student Development Dean, the Telecommunications Plan project will utilize a Project Coordinator and a Telecommunications Consultant to assess current systems and telecommunications infrastructure. They will look at the direction of educational planning efforts currently underway, and at the resulting infrastructure needs, in order to determine gaps in capability and systems.

This plan will build on ongoing efforts to establish a county-wide shared distance education infrastructure network that all educational systems can access. It will improve library learning resources through the use of electronic media, existing projects to improve instructional delivery and learning through computer assisted education, existing Telecommuter/video Teleconferencing Center and Distance Education capabilities, and through the planning and grant development efforts already underway.

This is joint effort with Ventura County businesses, local government, California State University (CSU), University of California (UC), K-l2 schools, County Superintendent of Schools, and Ventura College, with the intent of establishing a virtual university in Ventura County. This virtual university would also share instructional services in a true effort to provide distance education and other services.
