Beneficial:

• Use the technology -- the screen was difficult to see, overheads (no), PowerPoint (yes).
• A little too long without a break.
• Great. Surprisingly good.
• Great! Worked well!
• Given the topics were pre-identified it worked well.
• Good discussions and ideas formulated.
• A good process and input was very valuable.
• When you have a cross-college group, you think more broadly.The discussions were quite lively, good mix of perspectives.
• Helpful to hear other campuses have similar problems; also how they have worked through them and shared so we wonÕt need to invent all new wheels.
• I found it very stimulating to be with people from all parts of the campuses.
• Nice to hear what other colleges are doing.
• Set open positive team environment.
• Good discussion that created ideas and tended to reinforce directions our college has been taking for the past several years.
• Particularly when forum groups broke into smaller (4-8 individuals) groups

• It was redundant to ask and discuss the same questions that were already submitted.
• Why did we have to answer the same questions that we answered previously?
• At times too random.

Yes

• Not enough time
• Yes, and priorities were listed
• Yes, the next steps
• Yes, have "to do" list that will be in place this summer
• A list of items to prioritize in Fall TLTR meeting
• Specifically for particular work groups; helped redefine objectives for the coming year
• Campus CTC has a plan, to which we added
• We found that we were missing an assessment/evaluation component of our tech plan chapter
• Assessment and evaluation; faculty development
• Hopefully action will be taken from suggestions and assessment of areas needing upgrade
• Forums gave us new ideas that excited us
• Couldn't stop!!!
• We were highly motivated to attack conference topics
• It was difficult to stop

• This is already in place
• Already completed
• Already done
• This was previously done
• Previously completed
• Did it previously

Yes

• Yes; integrated with assessment activities.
• Especially in regard to faculty development.
• For staffing issues...which are as important as hardware!
• Staffing and job analysis were covered;
• many techs are working beyond their job descriptions.
• Several related items.

• Not enough time.

• everything was integrated with technology plan.

Not enough:

• I think we could have used at least another afternoon
• It was good to have the college time on Wed
• If session started earlier, we could have met with our groups before dinner
• The Ocotillo Chairs requested the majority of time be spent within campus groups; This time not enough

• We worked outside the general allotted time
• Plenty of time
• OK here
• Follow up meetings will occur soon also

• We meet all the time, but a nice place to meet
• We meet every week already
• Not enough decision-makers to make this part worthwhile
• Second day was too long
• Another hour of forum would have been beneficial with 40 minutes of college time
• We meet at the college frequently
• We already meet weekly -- demos/a speaker would have been great
• We meet often during the year

• Everybody is different.
• Everybody is different.
• Everybody's different.
• Each campus is different -- different needs.
• Different colleges have different issues; we should share more.
• That each campus is at a different place in its development.
• We all have issues; however, they vary from campus to campus; some of us are farther along than others.
• Diversity, wide degree of variance among colleges.
• Not enough money, not enough cooperation between campuses.
• There is incredible competition -- too much overlap and competition.
• Too much duplication between the colleges -- creates internal competition.
• There are many inefficiencies and "recreation of the wheel" around the district; everyone is trying to do the same thing...like distance learning...
• Too much internal competition between colleges.
• Too much internal competition and duplication.
• Everyone has similar problems; we need to learn to share/collaborate; need to work with business and industry; similar work is going on on each campus -- duplications and the cost of resources of time, technology, people; have to get better at this; spending too much money duplicating efforts!
• Commonalties; forum process was beneficial for a non-competitive information sharing environment.
• Campuses are facing many of the same issues/problems.
• We all have the same problems.
• Problems/issues much more common.
• That they are similar on all campuses.
• We're all dealing with the same issues; we're ahead of other campuses on some items and it's nice being able to share our "wheel" to save others inventing them again.
• We all have a lot of common issues!
• We all share the same issues.
• That the same problems exist across campuses; but we are making slow but steady progress in developing solutions.
• There is much work that still needs to be done in order to achieve a comprehensive, coherent and consistent district-wide technology paradigm.
• That it would be more effective to make it a concerted district-wide effort.
• We need to work on issues as faculty, as a campus, and as a district all at the same time.
• There needs to be more district-wide planning in the purchasing of equipment so lower prices can be had; this is one of many things.
• How segmented it is by departments and colleges throughout this District; there really needs to be a District plan developed and then implemented.
• The district needs to coordinate/act in unison on more issues.
• Some of the issues are most appropriate at the college levels; others need to be dealt with district-wide.
• Need support (moneys) from District; personnel, reassigned time, hardware/software
• There are many opportunities for growth and change and so little time and resources.
• Why have we waited so long? We have several individuals very interested in improvement; need more support from administration.
• How to begin evaluating effectiveness.
• There is great need for assessment and evaluation; the faculty development issues have not changed in 10 years.
• All colleges are having difficulty with assessing and evaluating the use of technology in the classroom.
• Technology is an ever/never ending process and all aspects of technology should be evaluated and looked at all the time.
• That assessment and evaluation have a long way to go.
• So many things -- no way to summarize.
• I learned a lot.
• Lots.
• Staffing is a critical issue district-wide.
• Support, training are big issues.
• See notes from all meetings.
• Better understanding of bond issues; ideas for how to deal with campus issues.
• I learned that MCCCD is not immune to the same difficulties as the rest of the nation; and as a small community, we can make changes to offset the problems; but it needs to be done quickly and effectively.
• Reinforced the interplay of a number of aspects; for example, if distance learning is to be successful, assessment and evaluation along with technology staffing for support are vital; access and faculty development are equally tied-in so that planning must be viewed as a systemic process.
• We saw a list of new focuses; we identified current paradigms and their lack of future instructional direction.
• We don't really need a lot of concrete data to make a decision as to how to teach, because the technology changes faster than we can collect the info.
• Learned much about how big the issue is and how it will affect the campus in the future.The process was, overall, very instructive.

• This was too far to go for the amount of time we met.
• We could have done a one day, all day, in Phoenix.
• Why did we have to drive so far?
• Meeting in Flagstaff was not convenient; too long of a drive.
• Would have liked a keynote speaker or a technology immersion experience.
