Grant Activities

Title V grant activities are funded to transform HIspanic serving institutions into responsive educational environments which in turn, assist students in achieving their academic goals.  The grant has several activities tied to improvements in the supporting technology infrastructure to support many of the new engaging instructional strategies for face-to-face and online instruction.  Through collaboration and partnerships across many departments, Title V provides the opportunity to create a new vision of serving students through retention and completion.

Course Redesign

The Course Redesign activity focuses on improving student learning through the redesign of a course or teaching practice. The grant supports instructors through the redesign process with assistance in acquiring technology, access to training, conferences, or workshops, and instructional design principles.

The Online Course Redesign activity focuses on improving the quality of online course design and online components. Instructors implement Quality Matters standards in their course redesign, pilot their redesigned course and then participate in an institutional peer review process.

Academic Technology Projects

The Information Technology Virtualization project is a plan to change the distributed physical server infrastructure to:

• Reduce overall IT costs and risks
• Improve service reliability and sustainability
• Simplify maintenance (installing, patching, administering, and supporting application servers)
• Increase machine usage and efficiency

Information Technology will begin migrating data to virtual servers, contributing to the overall improvement of technology resources available to the college community.

Retention and Early Alert Systems

Clovis Community College is committed to increasing student persistence, retention, and completion. The college’s retention committee has evaluated several retention systems which can systematically track and monitor student progress to ultimately raise student academic achievement. The new system will enable students, faculty, and the campus community to engage more effectively.  Information Technology is in the process of finding the best solution to meet the committee's selection criteria so that implementation can begin.
