Executive Summary
The LACCD Technology Strategic Plan was unanimously approved by the Technology Planning and
Policy Committee (TPPC) on November 16, 2010 and was adopted by the Board of Trustees in
March, 2011. The Technology Strategic Plan document with a 2020 horizon was used to create this
Implementation plan with metrics to gauge success. The plan prioritizes deployment of various
capabilities as resources become available, and is a living document that will be reviewed and
updated periodically, and reassessed in five years. This plan will inform the individual college
technology plans and serve as a guide to ensure a common base standard of connectedness across
the colleges for a consistent student experience.
The TPPC convened an Implementation Task Force (ITF), comprised of faculty, administrative
leadership, represented staff, and students. The task force adopted the following guiding
principles:
• Maintain a Districtwide focus for each Initiative
• Majority, not consensus in decision-making
• Representatives expected to communicate with the Colleges and bring feedback
• Consider prioritizations for need and not available funds
The plan includes initiatives that are in various stages of implementation, and those that are
expected to be sequenced over the next five years as appropriate resources become available. The
plan emphasizes bringing all colleges to a common baseline level of technology with a stable
infrastructure and use of enterprise technologies for a consistent student experience. It also
focuses on decisions not on initial costs, but considering the Total cost of ownership.
The final draft document is being presented to the TPPC for consideration. Upon acceptance by the
TPPC, it will be circulated within the governance structure, before being presented to the Board of
Trustees for consideration.

Introduction
The LACCD Technology Strategic Plan was unanimously approved by the Technology Planning and
Policy Committee (TPPC) on November 16, 2010 and was adopted by the Board of Trustees in
March, 2011.
The Technology Strategic Plan document with a 2020 horizon was used to create this
Implementation plan with metrics to gauge success. The plan prioritizes deployment of various
capabilities as resources become available, and is a living document that will be reviewed and
updated periodically, and reassessed in five years. This plan will inform the individual college
technology plans and serve as a guide to ensure a common base standard of connectedness across
the colleges for a consistent student experience.
The TPPC convened an Implementation Task Force (ITF), comprised of faculty, administrative
leadership, represented staff, and students. The task force created two sub-groups that could focus
on creating combined priorities for the five key areas, which were assigned to them:
� Teaching, and Learning
� Productivity, Assessment, and Infrastructure
The sub-groups considered their assigned key areas and created objectives for each “Plan” action.
An overview of the “Technology Strategic Plan - Vision 2020” was jointly discussed to familiarize all
participants with the plan, expectations and challenges. All participants were encouraged to review
the plan prior to the group meetings. During the group meetings the Tech Plan Action “Objectives”
were developed based on the following guiding principles:
• Maintain a Districtwide focus for each Initiative
• Majority, not consensus in decision-making
• Representatives expected to communicate with the Colleges and bring feedback
• Consider prioritizations for need and not available funds
In addition a communication plan was developed to keep the communication flowing between the
groups, the District, and the Colleges.
Once all “Objectives” were prioritized by the sub-groups, they were then considered collectively by
the ITF to discuss and create an overall priority list. A series of review meetings were held to
finalize sequencing, and assign metrics for Objectives that are in-progress, and those that are
desired for implementation over the next five years. The final draft document is being presented to
the TPPC for consideration. Upon acceptance by the TPPC, it will be circulated within the
governance structure, before being presented to the Board of Trustees for consideration.
