Winter break campus closure signage and messaging
December 17, 2015 by Leave a Comment
During the winter break campus closure from Dec. 21-25, all campus building entrances will be locked. The following buildings will have closure signage on their entrance doors: 1000, PUB, FOSS (all levels), library, gym, theater and visual arts center. In addition, A-board signage is posted at all three gate entrances, the 5000 building parking lot area, the bus stop, the west side of campus and the gym area.
During the closure, the website will carry a prominent closure notice, social media will reinforce the closure and the main phone number, x4101, will also have a message.
All employees should please confirm that appropriate information is updated on recorded telephone greetings, out-of-office messages on departmental and individual staff telephone extensions, e-mail automatic replies, and visible door or counter signage where needed, to inform current and potential students and the community at large, about the campus closure from Dec. 21-25 in a variety of appropriate modes.
Thank you and please enjoy a safe and restful break next week and all the best of this holiday season!

Garnsey-Harter Presents at UK Conference via Distance Learning
December 17, 2015 by 1 Comment
Shoreline’s Dr. Ann Garnsey-Harter, Executive Director of the Virtual Campus, eLearning, and Instructional Technology, presented “The North American Community College Perspective on Online Learning” at the Design eLearn: Making Online Learning Work Conference on December 17, 2015.
The conference was hosted by Lambeth College on the south side of London and Garnsey-Harter connected in remotely via video conferencing technology.
“The technology worked beautifully,” Garnsey-Harter said. “It was a thrill to connect with our international partners and share what’s new at Shoreline’s Virtual Campus.”
Garnsey-Harter was invited to present because of Shoreline’s connection to a consortium of colleges in the UK. Representatives from 11 of those colleges came to the Shoreline campus in 2013 on a visit abroad to learn from leading eLearning providers.
aSAP application materials now available
December 17, 2015 by Leave a Comment
The aSAP application materials for the 2016-17 budget process are now available and the deadline for submission of an aSAP is February 2, 2016. The Strategic Planning and Budget Committee will have multiple live training sessions to help you develop your aSAP in the first two weeks of January. If you would like to start thinking about some of your requests in the meantime, you may take time to look at the online materials describing the aSAP application requirements.
The application has not substantially changed from last year’s process, and the few changes that have been made are meant to decrease the burden on the submitters particularly when developing the budget for your proposal. Remember the “a” in aSAP stands for abbreviated, and therefore a major goal for the process is to provide a streamlined opportunity for Shoreline employees propose ideas and projects that can help realize the goals in the Strategic Plan and Core Themes of the college.
Please visit the Funding Requests Main page, http://intranetnew.shoreline.edu/strategic-planning-committee/funding-requests.aspx, to first decide if an aSAP request is appropriate for your proposal. If it is, online instructions for each section of the aSAP application can be found at http://intranetnew.shoreline.edu/strategic-planning-committee/asap-instructions.aspx . Stay tuned to DAAG for announcements of the January training dates, but if you have questions in the meantime, feel free to email Guy Hamilton, Chair of the SPBC (ghamilton@shoreline.edu).
Please also remember that the College is closed the week of December 21. There is no expectation that you will work on your aSAP next week. In future years, we will work to ensure that the application is released at a time not so close to the winter break. We encourage you to enjoy the time next week to refresh and relax; you will still have over five weeks to work on your aSAP after the campus reopens.
