Hack College's School Directory Work Smarter, Not Harder

According to the Chabot College mission statement, the College pledges to “prepare students to succeed in their education, progress in the workplace, and engage in the civic and cultural life of the global community.” As education, the workplace, and civic life become more dependent on digital technology, the College must keep its own technology up to date in order to fulfill that pledge. This Technology Plan details the expansion of technology within Chabot College and describes the current environment and future plans to be implemented. The Institutional Technology Committee, which prepared the plan, is a representative group of staff, faculty, and administrators who not only contributed their own technology-related expertise and insights, but also strove to incorporate input from their constituencies in all sectors of the College. With an eye toward making the Technology Plan mesh with the Facilities Master Plan, the Educational Master Plan, and other documents created by the College, the committee established the following goals: * Provide direct, universal and comfortable access to information and instructional technologies by students, faculty and staff to facilitate improved teaching and learning. * Promote students’ success in their educational and career goals. * Improve communication, collaboration, and coordination among those who enable students, faculty, and staff to make the most effective use of technology resources. * Sustain and improve instructional, student, and administrative support services. * Promote alternative methods of education that integrate technology into instruction. * Invest in staff development to provide training in effective use of technology resources. * Provide for innovative and cutting-edge opportunities while keeping in mind that proven technologies are usually better investments. The successful implementation and completion of this plan will give the faculty and staff the necessary tools and resources to incorporate technology into instruction and day-to-day operations. It is imperative that Chabot College remain committed to the advancement of technology in order to provide a productive workplace and an exemplary educational environment where our students receive an education that is current both in content and in technology.
