Technology Advisory Group

In Fall 2007, RSCCD established a district Technology Advisory Group (TAG) that meets once a month to discuss, evaluate, recommend and share information and ideas related to the information and communication technologies used within the district.

Members of TAG include administrators, faculty, classified staff and students from both colleges and the district offices who are emerged in the implementation of technology or oversee technology functions as a part of their regular job.​

 

TAG Purpose:

The Technology Advisory Group promotes student learning and institutional effectiveness through technology by strategically planning and developing technology policies and procedures in support of the mission of the colleges and the district.
