Technology Advisory

The Technology Advisory Group Mission:  At Ventura College, we transform students' lives, develop human potential, create an informed citizenry, and serve as the educational and cultural heart of our community. Placing students at the center of their learning experience, we serve a highly diverse student body by providing innovative instruction and student support, focusing on associate degree and certificate completion, transfer, workforce preparation, and basic skills. We are committed to the sustainable continuous improvement of our college and its services.

Advisory Group Charge:  The Technology Advisory Group monitors compliance with Accreditation Standard IIIC and provides coordination for the periodic revision for the campus Technology Plan. The Technology Advisory Group is charged with developing and recommending the long-term campus technology plan based on college program review data and the District Technology Plan. It reports and makes recommendations to the Vice President of Business Services and the Budget and Resource Committee (BRC). In addition, the Advisory Group reviews the plan annually, makes recommendations for revisions as needed, ranks priority of technology spending based on program review data, and serves as a forum for discussing campus technology issues.
