De Anza Vision for Technology
Vision
Statement: De Anza College will
use information technology to enhance access, learning, retention and success.
Guiding
Principles
- SUPPORT FOR TEACHING:
We will provide a responsive technology environment that enriches and
enhances learning and creativity.
- Support
for Delivery of Student Services: We will provide a responsive
technology environment that enriches and enhances the delivery of services
to students.
- Support
for Research-based Decision Making: We will provide a responsive
technology environment that supports and enhances a research-based
culture.
- INTEGRATION AND
INCLUSION: Information technology will help De Anza College fulfill its
teaching mission by allowing members of the campus community to communicate,
collaborate, learn, and disseminate materials, within and across
disciplines and campus borders.
- SECURITY AND
RELIABILITY: Increasingly, the intellectual property and resources of our
campus community are in electronic form, requiring that the campus IT
infrastructure be stable, safe and secure.
- UBIQUITY: We will
ensure essential connectivity for the entire campus, with basic standards
of support for all departments, divisions, and classrooms.
- EASE OF USE: Campus
applications, systems, communications devices and classroom technologies
will be integrated and easy to use.
- ALIGNMENT: Campus
priorities will drive De Anza’s information Technology (IT) strategies and
investments. Because
information technology requirements differ among fields, De Anza will strive
to allocate resources appropriately and with accountability, anticipating
and adopting IT innovations and standards beneficial to the campus as a
whole.
- INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY EXCELLENCE: Teaching, student services delivery, research, and
public service require information technology that meets the highest
standards of excellence. We will evaluate the quality of IT with the same
rigor as all other De Anza programs.
