Many of the web pages are only updated periodically by the users. There are written instructions for some of the most common tasks; however, instructional videos are the preferred mode of instruction for many learners. The creation of a minimum of five instructional videos (using the Camtasia screen capture software) is a goal for the next academic year. | Spring 2013 | Completed |
| Instructional Technology Center (ITC) | Teaching and Learning Effectiveness (2008-2014) | 2.1 | Redesign of the Instructional Technology Website | The ITC website is used by faculty and staff to access instructional training materials, technology help, technology resources, contact information, and workshop registration. There are 100's of pages of instructional resources. The existing website has become difficult to navigate and a redesign is needed to make it more useable.

We will evaluate the existing content, and update or purge where necessary. | Fall 2011 | Completed |
| Instructional Technology Center (ITC) | Students First (2017-2021) | 1 | Redesign: Online/Hybrid Course Directory | Update 3/9/2017: Provide students with the most relevant and up-to-date information possible on current online/hybrid courses through the Virtual Education Center website. The plan is to link the directory to the Canvas course management system (CMS) course instructor profiles and contact information. The goal is to provide students with the most relevant and up-to-date information possible on current online/hybrid courses. Information will be organized by certificates, degrees, and career pathways. Update: 3/4/2016: By providing students with current DE course information, they are better able to make informed decisions about their course selection prior to registration. A DE course directory allows students to contact the instructor and review the course syllabus and other course-specific information. Update 3/5/2015: Assist students in making informed choices by providing a robust online course directory. A standalone DE course directory, independent of the college's CMS, allows for timely course updates, maintenance of current faculty information, accurate course descriptions for students prior to registration, ability for faculty to engage with students through various media tools and presentations. This will replace the existing Online/Hybrid Course Directory link that is currently in the schedule of classes. The link to this directory will be made available in various student services publications and web resources. Previous: Assist students in making informed choices by providing a robust online course directory. Using the SCC model for their staff/faculty directory, the ITC has begun developing a new directory which will be use the Ingeniux interface. Rather than having a separate directory for online/hybrid courses, having one directory has several advantages. 1) Maintenance
Current directory is located at http://www.arc.edu/online |

| Instructional Technology Center (ITC) | Teaching and Learning Effectiveness (2015-2016) | 2.1 | Google Aps for Education Training & Workshops | To better promote flexible teaching and learning methods to support the success of our diverse student population, the ITC faculty must receive training on new applications and emerging technologies. For Spring 2015 goal has been update to include: 1. Training for staff with Lynda.com 2. Evaluate training with Lynda.com to decide if effective and if more licenses need to be purchased 2. Continue promotion of Apps through workshops including those for more advanced learner 3. Updating and promotion of new Google Apps instructional website 4. Provide outside training again (as for flex week January 2014) **************************************************************************** This goal has been continued as the roll out for Google Apps has not taken place. The District will be adopting Google Aps for Education, a set of customizable tools that will enable faculty, staff and students to work together and learn more effectively. These tools are particularly robust and cost-free. The ITC staff will be responsible for training faculty and staff on the use of these tools. While workshops for some of these tools have already been implemented, our staff will need more in-depth training. The outcome is to be completed by Fall 2012 is to do the following: 1. Investigate and evaluate the training that is available. 2. Working with our dean, select the most appropriate training for our team. 3. Attend training prior to the District’s launching of Google Apps for Education so that the ITC staff will be able to provide just-in-time training for ARC’s faculty and staff. 4. Provide PD opportunities to ARC's faculty and staff. |

It is a no-credit/no-grade self-paced course that introduces users to the most commonly used tools in D2L. It was created by and is maintained by ARC's DE Coordinator. Currently, approximately 2,700 students across the District are enrolled in the course. In January 2011, D2L was upgraded and now the video and written content in the course also needs updating to reflect a new interface and new tools.

The goal of this objective is to do the following: 1. test selected application 2. Continue to seek being added to the room scheduling application that ARC is currently reviewing and for which funding has already been allocated. 3. If no decision is imminent, purchase application currently under testing if it proves acceptable. If not, investigate other options. 4.

| Instructional Technology Center (ITC) | Exemplary Teaching, Learning & Working Environment (2017-2021) | 3 | Innovate LRCCD Edtech Conference (Future Planning) | Update 3/9/2017: Host the next Innovate conference to be held in August, 2017 at ARC to provide LRCCD faculty and staff the opportunity to share with colleagues and explore ways to implement creative and innovative approaches to using technology to engage students and support student success. Previous: Support student success by promoting flexible teaching and learning methods which in turn support the success of our diverse student population. Previous: Faculty and staff from all four colleges within the Los Rios Community College District come together every May to share how they use technology to promote student success. Those participating in the Innovate! 2013 conference include faculty, classified staff, and managers from American River, Cosumnes River, Folsom Lake, and Sacramento City Colleges. These instructional leaders model creativity in the classroom, advise peers and colleagues on how to use educational technology, and are on the cutting edge of instructional technology. This annual gathering has been popular and valuable for those interested in bringing teaching into the twenty-first century. |

| Instructional Technology Center (ITC) | Teaching and Learning Effectiveness (2015-2016) | 2.1 | iPad Initiative | Updated Outcome:
Increase student active learning opportunities that enable the demonstration of learning and acquisition of contemporary, competitive workplace skills. Past Outcomes:
At the end of Spring 2013, the Initiative ends its first year. The group is developing video presentations to highlight the uses of iPads. The iPad Initiative group is scheduled to present at the Innovate 2013 conference, Fall 2013 convocation, and flex day activities.
Due to the success of the iPad Initiative, this project will be extended throughout the 2013-2014 academic year. We will explore the possibility of creating an advanced users group and/or discipline-specific subgroups.
"The future our students will inherit is one that will be mediated and stitched together by the mobile web, and I think that ethically, we are called on as teachers to teach them how to use these technologies effectively." Dean Terry, "Mobile Perspectives: On Teaching Mobile Literacy,” EDUCAUSE Review, vol. 46, no. 2 (March/April 2011) One mobile tablet device, the iPad, has already established itself as an effective learning tool in both K-12 and higher education. Many institutions have undertaken iPad initiatives which include a preliminary exploration of the device and its capabilities by faculty and staff. Institutions have reported that the integration of the iPad into the classroom has helped to increase student engagement and learning, to enhance critical thinking, and, in some cases, to displace textbook costs by moving to electronic texts. ARC can benefit from the experience of these early adopters in helping to craft a practical, phased approach to the integration of this technology in the classroom. An iPad study carried out by selected faculty and staff will give us an opportunity to explore the use of iPad’s and how the device can be effectively used in teaching and learning. |
