DE ANZA COLLEGE
Question 16:
How would the change you recommend above impact college?
Responses
A more positive end result, staff/faculty feeling they are important and supported in their IT needs.
accuracy, efficiency
Acquisition cost, installation and maintenance
Again for me it is all about functionality to support staff and students
As we move content and resources increasingly to more advanced technological platforms, we need to
ensure we're not leaving any of our disadvantaged students behind.
Back the talk about technology with actual tangible products that show the college is serious about
using teachnology for the purposes they say.
Better instructional support.
better online security and improved functionality for users
Better teaching and, more importantly, learning for our students.
College gets the system/software that meets the users' needs, and implementation will go more
smoothly and effectively.
cost savings, more integrated planning, leveraging expertise among staff and faculty
Cutting costs for the benefit of students
Efficiency and data gathering
efficient teaching for instructors which improves outcome for students learning
Everybody would be on the same page, it would be more user friendly and accessible campus wide for
staff, faculty and students.
friendly, easily usable, less wasted time
Get more buy in and make DeAnza relevant in the bay are community college system again
Happy people
Have someone care more about the staff and their needs than adding more Management positions
Have technology be more accessible at De Anza
Helps to complete our jobs much more smoothly
helps with instruction
I am assuming it is because I do not use a mac product, so software that us easily recognizable and
user friendly for all platforms.
I think the changes would alleviate a lot of stress and frustration for both students nd staff at De Anza.
I would ask for things like upgrade of OS on my computer.
increase productivity by freeing up a lot of time spent entering data and running multiple reports from
multiple sources
Instructors could collaborate more effectively. Peer interactions would be more collegial, supportive,
and respectful. Students would benefit from a more uniform academic delivery from the given
departments--some of which feature a huge amount of instructors.
It cuts down on time and inconvenience for teachers and students. If the lights were dim- able then
students could take notes during videos and Catalyst demonstrations.
It should allow employees and students to better transition to any changes and new products so they
can utilize it more effectively.
It will make the daily work more productive.
It would allow for more deep learning rather than meeting a deadline.
It would allow for the technology fans to really do some research, across the academic disciplines, to
find out why the dropout rate for online classes is higher than face-to-face classes? Is it in the best
interest of the students' education to offer so many online classes for students? What are the facts to
support making technology so important for De Anza students, besides the financial benefits to the
college/district?
it would allow students to pull up documents for counseling use on their phones or laptops within my
office. This would more easily facilitate comprehensive student ed plans that take into account all
college attended within my office. Also, students would be able to pull up emails for reference when
making decisions about transfer, emails from professors or from admissions and records more easily. I
could better advise students on next steps if I were more easily able to access all of their data.
it would give everyone access to internet without having to sign-in and getting sign-off at bad times
It would help me to expand the music knowledge of my students.
It would help to keep more people updated and proficient.
it would improve the ability to teach classes
It would make classes run soother, and much less time would be spent trying to figure out problems,
and call IT foe classroom help.
It would make it easier for everyone to use the system.
It would make the college lectures become more professional.
It would make this software, which has become a necessity, widely available to everyone. It makes
instruction much easier having a central place where documents/grades can be easily accessed. This is
something that every other campus I've ever taught at (five in total) has managed. It's not clear to me
why De Anza doesn't have a decent system available (that doesn't require training).
Less time and effort wasted by trying to get a sub-optimal technology to work the way we need it to.
