<FONT face="Default Sans Serif,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size=2><DIV>Our department participated in the development of our schools new strategic technology plan. Part of that plan includes the delivery of all AT via server. This will be implemented over the coming fiscal year. Our plan is to have AT accessible from all computers on the "student side" of our network, with the goal of largely eliminating having "disability" workstations. Our department is responsible for the purchase of the software, but it will be managed by our IT department. For programs that have some utility to the general population, e.g., Dragon, we anticipate that there will be some increased demand and we have explored having language arts purchase additional licenses. At this point, we don't intend to place any limits on access to the AT programs. All AT will be available without special signon on all computers.</DIV><DIV><BR>John F.

Here at College of the Desert, I have<BR>the unique position of being part of the DSP&S, categorically funded,<BR>classified staff. My title is Adaptive Computer Technician Specialist,<BR>and my duties are to setup and maintain, district wide, any and all<BR>adaptive workstations, DSPS staff workstations and all servers,<BR>networking and installation of all AT hardware and software. This<BR>includes our High Tech Center (26 computers), 3 remote proctor exam<BR>workstations, and 5 to 10% of each campus lab computers to be able to<BR>run AT hardware and software. All AT requests from students or staff,<BR>is my responsibility to install and setup. Since we allow all lab<BR>workstations to be able to be accessed by all students, (except the High<BR>Tech Center), each department that has requested a lab, purchases the<BR>equipment. The AT software is then ran from one of the DSPS servers (5<BR>running Windows 03) and the student AT program/data files are then<BR>accessible on any AT computer District wide. I hope this answers some<BR>of your questions and if you need more information, please contact me<BR>off list.<BR><BR>-----Original Message-----<BR>From: athen-bounces@athenpro.org [<A href="mailto:athen-bounces@athenpro.org" target=blank>mailto:athen-bounces@athenpro.org</A>] On<BR>Behalf Of Lorna Saiz<BR>Sent: Monday, March 19, 2007 11:51 AM<BR>To: athen@athenpro.org<BR>Subject: [Athen] Question Regarding Servers<BR><BR>Hello Everyone,<BR><BR>Although I'm unable to attend the CSUN Conference this year -budget<BR>constraints- my role as AT Coordinator and ATI sub-committee<BR>member(Procurement)has brought questions that I need help to answer. <BR><BR>I've been asked to find out the status of other Services for Students<BR>with Disabilities offices/programs if other offices maintain Servers for<BR>assistive software exclusive in students with disabilities Lab's or if<BR>AT programs can be accessed from any lab on your campus? <BR><BR>At Fresno State, I'm responsible(up to now)for<BR>purchase,installation,maintenance all AT equipment and softwares for<BR>the SSD student lab (13 workstations),for e-text conversion practices<BR>and policies and e-text production. <BR><BR>To summarize, are the AT programs, i.e., JAWS, Kurzweil 3000, DragonNS,<BR>etc. individually installed for access by students with disabilities<BR>(Lab/Resource Center) or are the programs residing on a university<BR>server for accessibility to open labs? <BR><BR>Thank you so much for your input.<BR><BR>Lorna Saiz<BR>Administrative Systems Operations, AT Coordinator Services for Students<BR>with Disabilities<BR>Ph:559.278.2811<BR>Fax:559.278.4214<BR>lornas@csufresno.edu<BR><A href="http://www.csufresno.edu/ssd" target=blank>http://www.csufresno.edu/ssd</A><BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Athen mailing list<BR>Athen@athenpro.org<BR><A href="http://athenpro.org/mailman/listinfo/athen_athenpro.org" target=blank>http://athenpro.org/mailman/listinfo/athen_athenpro.org</A><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Athen mailing list<BR>Athen@athenpro.org<BR><A href="http://athenpro.org/mailman/listinfo/athen_athenpro.org" target=blank>http://athenpro.org/mailman/listinfo/athen_athenpro.org</A><BR></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE><BR></DIV></FONT>
