o Division of Educational Support Servicesc)00
November 1994Prepared for the Information Technology Committee of the Georgia Technical Institutes Presidents
Council by the Occupational Research Group at The University of Georgia.
L.11 SUMMARY OF SURVEY FINDINGS
The 1994 Technical Institute InformationTechnology Survey was developed byGDTAE Educational Support Services staffand technical support personnel at thetechnical institutes to update and expandthe 1993 statewide Information TechnologySurvey. The survey questionnaire wasdistributed to all of the technical institutesin August 1994. Responses were receivedfrom a total of 33 institutions. Results ofthe survey were summarized and reportedby the Occupational Research Group at theUniversity of Georgia.
The purpose of this statewide survey wasto collect comprehensive and up-to-dateinformation about a broad range oftechnology uses at Georgia's technicalinstitutes. Survey results will provide abase of information for the Presidents'Council Information TechnologyCommittee to use in their planning andimplementation activities.
The first part of this report summarizes thekey fmdings and information within eachof the 24 major sections of the survey,using narrative and graphic presentation ofdata. The second part provides furtherdetails about responses to each individualitem in the survey quostionnaire. A chart

at the end of the report summarizes data onmajor question categories for eachtechnical institution to facilitate comparisonacross the state. A list of distancelearning, satellite, and networkcoordinators at each technical institute alsois included.
Due to the complexity and level of detailof information requested in thequestionnaire, the interpretation ofquestions and completeness of answers bythe respondents varied widely. Lack ofconsistency in response format may limitthe conclusions that can be drawn fromthis data.
I. Georgia Public TV
The overwhelming majority of technicalinstitutes do not utilize the services ofGPTV. Of the four that did reply yes tothis question, a variety of GPTV programswere mentioned. None are utilizing anyspecific GPTV production services.

II. Satellite Dishes
An overwhelming majority of respondentscurrently have satellite receiving dishes(downlink capability).
Approximately half of the technicalinstitutes own or use one dish.Approximately one-third of the dishes arefixed_ Roughly half the dishes support asingle band, with C and KU bandsmentioned most frequently. There is awide variety of manufacturers who haveprovided equipment to the technicalinstitutes; no single supplier hasdominated sales to Georgia technicalschools. The date of acquisition for dishesranges from 1981 to 1994 and roughlyone-third of the dishes were purchasedduring calendar year 1994. No schoolshave origination or uplink capability.
M. Access to Mobile Rental Dishes
Most technical institutes do not have accessprtoesreenntalt, uipimo ensct.h Wherevae deccessibility is
useof the opportunity to rent a dish. Anannual rental fee of two hundred dollars($200) was cited by one school.

Do you have local accessibility to mobilerental dishes?
l'es 721.2%
IV. Cable Television (CTV)Availability
All but one of the technical institutes haveCTV available in their service area. Awide variety of CTV vendors are locatedin home or nearby municipalities, andwhile no one company dominates, TC1 wasmenlioned most frequently. Roughly halfof the schools purchase cable televisionservice but only one of the schoolsreported using the educational channel forinstruction. A total of thirty-six (36)buildings across the state are wired forCTV and approximately fifty (50)classrooms have access to CTVprogramming. All of the schools usecoaxial wiring.
V. Closed Circuit Television (CCTV)
About one-third of the technical institutesare wired for or plan on using ClosedCircuit Television (CCTV).

Yes 1339.4%
Of these schools, half reported that noneor only one of their buildings, and a thirdreported that none of their classrooms, arecurrently serviced with CCTV. However,three schools have all classrooms and fivehave all buildings serviced with CCTV.The number of office areas and conferencerooms that utilize CCTV vary from one to5. The majority identified coaxial as thetype of wiring that is used. Of the schoolswired for CCTV, most have or intend tohave a school television station orbroadcast studio and all want to interfacethe Video Distribution System with PCs ora network.

[Our school] needs an efficient and cost-effective state-of-the-art information network allowingmultimedia applications, distance learning, and shared video reception capabilities to beimplemented. In his era of rapidly evolving applications and continually changing needs, theaccurate foresight to avoid expensive rewiring is essential. Our goal is to prepare our classroomsfor the future. Background: (these issues must be addressed) current users, expectant growthof movement to the new building, percentage of new growth (anticipate future changes), numberof drops per room (approximately). Note: an adequate number of drops must be planned carefully.More than one drop should be issued per room. Design objectives: 1) Connectivity. Connectivityis crucial for the development and support of the internetworking with data, voice, multimedia,and distance learning. One of the primary objectives is to let a USER connect to any systemlocated anywhere within the school to utilize telephone, data, and video services, just by merelyhaving a "plug-in" capability within the room. Each computer in the classroom will need a directconnection to a wiring closet or intermediate distribution frame. Maximum protection shouldbe taken to prevent good loop potential and isolate problems for lightning. 2) Reliability andmanageability. The network should be reliable with an uptime goal of 100%. Connectivity willnot be affected by any down system. Should a system fail, only connectivity to and from that systemis affected, while the rest of the network continues operating as usual. The risk of networkcongestion and traffic jam should be non-existent. In addition, the network should be easilyadministered by one person from a central location. 3) Configuration flexibility. The networkconfiguration will be flexible enough to allow easy reconfiguration and to support future networkgrowth. Adding a PC to the network should not require installing a transceiver on the networkbackbone and running an ethernet cable to the PC. Switching a system or giving video capabilitiesto a drop will, in most cases, necessitate the physical moving of the system to another location.4) Cost-effectiveness. The overall network design will re-use hardware and software from theexisting networks as much as possible. The network should also provide cost-effective solutionsfor sharing expensive printers. Physical layout, network design, and quality of materials shouldbe carefully considered, keeping cost-effectiveness in mind

Purpose of the Study:
The 1995 Technology Survey of Georgia Technical Institutes was developed as a shorter versionof the 1994 Survey. It was designed to provide a comprehensive system-wide review and themost current information about different types of technology uses at Georgia's technicalinstitutes. The survey results are intended to answer technology questions of the Presidents'Council Information Technology Committee. The results will be used in the planning andimplementing of future technology activities.
Methodology:
The Occupational Research Group (ORG) at the University ofGeorgia (UGA), ur ler contract tothe Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education (GDTAE), revised the 1994technology survey and presented the new format to the Presidents' Council InformationTechnology Committee. The Committee reviewed and corrected thedraft document beforedeveloping the final questionnaire.
Sample Selection:
All thirty-three technical institutes in Georgia received the survey documents and participated inthe study. Due to the urgent need of this survey results by the Presidents' Council InformationTechnology Committee, the respondents were asked to send completed surveys by fax. Althoughunder a short notice, all the appropriate individuals in each of the institutes returned theircompleted surveys.
Data Analysis.
Data were collected from all thirty-three technical institutes. All questionnaires returned wereusable and included in the data analyses. Data were coded, recorded and analyzed using theStatistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) program. The frequency and percentage of all theresponses were determined by using total number of usable survey instrument. Using theMicrosoft Excel Program, the tables and graphs of responses were generated.
For easier interpretation, the responses were grouped into SECTIONS as represented in theoriginal questionnaire. Each SECTION has its own unique question items. Graphical illustrationswere prepared for easier interpretation of the results.
