- The Implementation of the California Community Colleges Telecommunications and Technology Infrastructure Program, 2000-2001. Business College Faculty College Libraries Community Colleges Computers Information Networks Information Technology Interactive Television Internet Job Skills Outcomes of Education Technology Telecommunications Teleconferencing Two Year College Students Two Year Colleges This is the sixth report on the status and progress of the Telecommunications and Technology Infrastructure Program (TTIP), submitted by the California Community Colleges. In California, familiarity with and use of computers is fundamental to economic success. California is home to many of the major companies involved in creating the future of the information age, and therefore, California's community college students can no longer be expected to function without a baseline of networks, hardware, and software similar to what they will confront in the workplace. The California Community Colleges Technology II Strategic Plan 2000-2005 (Tech II Plan), approved by the Board of Governors on September 11, 2000, provides the broad template of strategies for improving and strengthening technology throughout the California Community College system. Tidal Wave II, the expected increased enrollment of 500,000 college students by 2005, will necessitate that community colleges become more effective in their use of facilities and resources. The TTIP system-wide focus has been in five major areas: (1) data connection to the 4Cnet backbone for all colleges; (2) video conferencing capabilities at each college and district site; (3) satellite downlink capability; (4) Community Colleges Conferencing Network; and (5) library automation and electronic information resources.
