What am I telling Legislative Committees about the Strategic Technology Plan? 4

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 5

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 Video 6

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 7

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 8

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 $ 9

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 10

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:

Governor’s 2 nd 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.” 12

Budget Update 13 See Word document for details. We stay on-message. “CTCs are the solution to WA’s economic problems.” ELC message: we are the system’s enrollment growth area.

Ongoing Online Learning Growth 2004 annualized FTE = 9, 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 14
