BOG DACA Resolution

Tim presented the BOG DACA Resolution which outlines how the State of California will not comply with the federal government when it comes to DACA students.

The Board of Governors released a resolution last week urging the incoming administration to continue the Deferred Action for Childhoon Arrivals program, which grants "Dreamers" - people who people who were brought to this country as children by their parents reprieve from deportation because California and the United States are stronger due to their contributions to our economy, to our communities and to our Armed Forces; and be it further RESOLVED that ...

The state Chancellor’s Office will not release any personally identifiable student information related to immigration status without a judicial warrant, subpoena or court  order, unless authorized by the student or required by law; and be it further RESOLVED that...

    • What does this mean for OpenCCC, CCCApply, and the CCC Technology Center?
    • Will we formally respond to this resolution via Support Site post?  How do we communicate our stance to the colleges?

    • Here's what we've done this year:
    • Here's what we are doing now?
  • White-paper vs. FAQs  

Academic white-paper on CCCApply still need to be completed. The white-paper needs to have a section on non-credit. Tim suggested including an executive summary.

    • Academic whitepaper is still desirable to some members of  Steering (we would need an index)
    • Separate executive summary into two sections 1) why is the app the way it is (long?); 2) Why can't we do our own noncredit app - our own way?)
    • More data driven information in the whitepaper
    • Executive Summary (FAQ like) upfront have a summary of findings, more high-level, data, charts, graphics)
    • Talk about all the positives in CCCApply up front
    • But we do need an easy to read, efficient snippets of information - user-friendly
    • Waiting on Mike Q to give us direction on some points

    • TIMELINE for working with the Marketing team - Mitch out for a few weeks after next week

Pending Marketing Projects

  1. 1.       CCCApply Infographic

                Draft shared 1/21/17

                Next step: Content feedback from Tech Center and addition or validation of data points included in the document.

Discussion Notes:

Patty presented an infographic developed by the marketing team. The word “Hablamos” needs to be corrected. The wording on the 24/7 helpdesk needs to be revised.

“Accessible and Secure” needs to be added.

  

  1. 2.       Student Focus Groups

Solicit opinions on CCCApply from dual enrollment students, student ambassadors, non-credit or life-long learners at one to two Northern California Community Colleges

                Next step: Pam Cox Otto will provide a list of questions for Steering Committee to consider to inform focus group design and narrow the research question.

                CAFocus is working to schedule at least one focus group in February.

                Focus groups would be fast tracked to provide preliminary data for the April 12-13  CCCApply Workshop

Student focus groups are being put together in February. Tim Calhoon would like a clear description of purpose as to why a focus group is being developed.

Bill stated that marketing team should only focus on marketing- not user experience.

The group agreed that the marketing group should focus on selling and promoting CCCApply to potential students. 

 

  1. 3.       College administrator (Admissions and Records Staff) FAQ

CAFocus will review attachment and follow up with additional questions as we develop content for this document. The FAQ should include short descriptions of the legal requirements to determine if this will meet the needs identified from the field to provide a rationale for the student information collected.

Patty, are there documents we could reference which contain summaries, interpretations, or the legal citations for the compliance requirements cited in the PowerPoint?

Also, in TTAC yesterday, Tim mentioned there has been a review of CCCApply and which questions were required by CCCCO and which weren't. Could you share that list so we can look at a visual depiction of the information?

 

  1. 4.       Refreshed college-facing content for CCCApply Project Website

We will review Powerpoint and the roadmap below and propose a few ideas.


1.5       Theme / Message for Workshop

Continuous Improvement for Student Success: 

Focus our General session at the Workshop on: These are the issues that have come up over the past year; 2) We hear you and we are listening; 3) Here's what we can do to address these issues in the short-term; here's what we can do to address these issues in the long-term;
 

Additional Items Discussed:

  1. 5.       Ways CAFocus can support the identification best practices in UI/UX for CCCApply 3.0
  2. 6.       Role for CAFocus during April 12-13 CCCApply Annual workshop? Pam Cox Otto keynote?
  3. 7.       What fields within CCCApply are required for students enrolling in non-credit courses?  (Will be included in info being sent by Patty)
  4. 8.       Revisit Google Analytics date a few weeks after the March release for an early picture of student behavior
  5. 9.       Additional visual depiction of data : if the Tech Center’s data analyst was able to provide any additional breakdown of abandonment rates or average application completion time, please feel free to share them with us and we can look at how they could be visually depicted.
