We've more than 100 RSVP's since we made the announcement. Dr. Gaskin, Dr. Solley, and Ron Bleed will be presenting this year to do a welcome. The morning sessions are going to have a game show and a discussion and the afternoon sessions will have hands-on
presentations and poster sessions. The afternoon sessions stress projects that were done by a collaborative team.
We are asking each chair to make sure their college has at least one presentation; see the online form at:

November Meeting Preparation
Doug Sawyer, Alan Levine
Goals and strategies for November 2 meeting with Vice Chancellors Bleed and Solley. Potential "Technology Visioning" forums with funds for Bond planning. See Ron's "Turning Points"
Alan and Doug met with Anna and Ron to begin brainstorming about how we can combine all the technology groups. They will
both be at the November 2nd Ocotillo Chairs meeting to continue this brainstorming.
Ron said that there are funds available to hold several smaller events/workshops (dialogue day), they just have to be in support of
Bond Process issue(s). He would like us to bring in "visionaries" to help us with issues to react to and to discuss, "what's next".
Maybe they could also lead to issues to drive a working session at the May Retreat.
What have we heard, how can/where can we go from here?
We want to push the envelope for technology and instructional technology. We also need to involve our multi-generational
student population, maybe even invite middle school children, what are their visions of the future?
Please take this back to your college technology groups and bring recommendations of presenters and topics to the November 2nd
Ocotillo meeting. What issues are most compelling? Possible speakers and/or topics include: Philip Parsons, Jane Twig, Bill
Hale (e-books), Art Levine (Columbia Teachers College President), Larry Johnson (Haptics), and the Commodity vs. Community
model. Some resources include the MIT Media Lab, North Carolina - Wilmington (Hybrid Courses), Sisco Systems, ASU Think
Tank, Mark Milliron (League for Innovation), Knowledge.net, Smartforce.com, and Librarians.
These should be in a central location and on diverse topics.
Retreat 2002
Doug Sawyer
Well, it looks like we are leaning toward and out-of-town retreat this year. We will have better participation if we stay in town, but
we won't be able to focus on issues. If we decide to use the Retreat to discuss Bond issues, then we should go out of town.
Marybeth suggested that we come up with college teams, of about 6 people. These people would be invited because of their
involvement with technology related issues.
We need to make sure that all the technology related dialogue days have "Ocotillo" in the title, so everyone realizes that EACH
meeting is important to the process and that we aren't just saving up for the end of the year.
Intellectual Property
Pam Petty, Carol Scarafiotti
The policies related to intellectual property are confusing at best. The committee is coming up with a tighter definition of
"substantial contribution". Make sure you have your understanding up front. If you are given time or money by your dean to
create something, then MCCCD owns it? If a faculty, administrator, or support person creates a complete course (for example),
who owns it? Can that person have partial ownership of the item? If the product is sold, who gets the money? Faculty have
unique issues, who owns what? The committee is planning on meeting again to look at recommendations, date and time to be
determined later.
Ocotillo "Pulse"
Alan Levine
http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/ocotillo/pulse/
Alan and Doug came up with some questions about college roundtable activity that they would like all the chairs to answer prior to the
November 2nd chairs meeting. Please be prepared to share 1 issue at the next meeting.
Please pay particular attention to question 3, as it is relevant to the November 2nd chairs meeting.
This information can be provided electronically at:
http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/ocotillo/pulse/view.php
(select your campus, click on the "update" link and enter your email address and password). The initial
password for each campus is: ocotilloxxx (xxx=campus location) nad has been emailed to each chair.
TLC Input
Alan Levine, Earl Monsour
What are the expectations/needs for a potential system of centralized 24/7 helpdesk support? What are important issues on
"Universal Access to Technology"?
The expectation is that once you get a helpdesk person on the phone, you expect them to answer ALL of your questions. There is an expectation for email support, even over college holidays. Can we be proactive? Call the students at various times throughout
the semester and ask them if they need any help.
Smartthinking.com offers general tutoring in math, science, and writing among other topics.
Universal Access - What do we want to provide access to? The committee looking into this has proposed that for every credit
hour paid for in the district, $2.00 goes to a larger pot, then the money is transferred out to each college based on student
enrollment. This money would come from money already collected from the student. This committee is also looking at
maintenance and repairs. The TLC is planning on responding to their recommendations. Do the Ocotillo chairs want to as well?
Gloria Stahmer will send final proposal to Doug and Doug will then forward it on to the chairs.
Technology Survey
Doug Sawyer, Sheila Brandt, Roger Yohe
The group talked about the data and came up with 6 inquires, like a breakdown by age group. Relayed this information to the
person in charge of extracting this information, waiting for a response.
