Academic Technology Web Services

We create and manage web and ftp accounts for faculty, staff and students. We assist in web design and publishing, and troubleshoot web technology problems. We maintain most of the campus web servers, and author the District web pages. We also administer and maintain web systems such as the online college, academic webboards, and the faculty web server. Use the following forms to request our services.

Web Request Forms

Developmental Blackboard Course. If you are interested in using Blackboard to teach online, or as an enhancement to your real-time class(es), submit a Blackboard Developmental Course request form, or contact David Gray (ext. 2862).
Add Students to Blackboard. If you use Blackboard to teach an online class at Palomar College, and wish to add students to your existing online class, submit an Add Student request (login required). If you have difficulty, or wish clarification regarding this procedure, contact David Gray (ext. 2862).
Web Site. If you are faculty/staff at Palomar and wish to create a web site, submit a web site request form, or contact Chris Norcross (ext. 3225).
Class Web/FTP Sites. If you are a faculty member at Palomar College, and would like web sites and ftp accounts created for all students in one or more of your classes, submit a class FTP request form, or contact David Gray (ext. 2862). Technical information and tools are available at: http://pluto.palomar.edu. The student projects server is configured with the .NET Framework and FrontPage 2002 server extensions and the student content is stored in WebDAV-enabled space. This means that complex editing systems such as Microsoft FrontPage 2002 and Macromedia Dreamweaver MX can connect directly to the web sites, in addition to using simpler FTP programs.
WebBoards. If you are Palomar faculty/staff, and would like your own webboard, (i.e., an online discussion area) submit this webboard request form, or contact Terry Gray. We have developed a helpful tutorial for first-time webboard users at http://daphne.palomar.edu/wb.
Web Search Form. If you have developed a Palomar College web site on one of the servers administered by Academic Technology, we can create a custon, asp search form for your site. If you wish to have one, submit a Web Search request form, or contact Shay Phillips (ext. 2845).
Graphics Services. If you have a special graphics project for your web site with which you need help, or wish to use clip art, or want 35mm slides converted for use on your web site, submit a Graphics Support request form, or contact Elaine Armstrong (ext. 2644).
Document Scanning. If you wish to convert to PDF format printed handouts, class lectures, or other materials, use the Document Scanning Request Form to schedule time for us to do this for you.
Web Site Design Services. If you are Palomar College faculty or staff, and want help in designing your web site, submit a Web Site Design request, or contact Chris Norcross (ext. 3225).

If you have video or audio files, PowerPoint presentations, or digital photos you would like placed in a slide-show format, and you would like this media streamed on your web site in Real or Windows media formats, submit a Streaming Media request, or contact Terry Gray (ext. 2877). ATG can capture, encode and stream media from any standard format. We can also assist you in producing media by filming presentations using a digital camcorder, digital audio recorder, or create slide-show formats with voice-overs.
DVD Creation. You may request that video clips be digitized and placed on a CD for ease of access in the classroom. Contact Terry Gray (ext. 2877).
Video Production Request. Academic Technology and Educational Television are teaming up to produce custom professor videos for the web. If you wish to create a video--an introduction to your class, a chapter summary, a special topic that requires a longer explanation--submit this form. ETV will contact you in order to schedule studio time. Academic technology will then encode the video and place links to it on your web site or within your Blackboard course. To reserve time and discuss the matter further, click here, or contact Terry Gray, phone ext. 2877.
Web Surveys. We have installed new web survey software which allows faculty to create custom surveys of their students. The survey software may also be used by administrative departments and committees. If you wish to set up a survey, contact Chris Norcross, phone ext. 3225, cnorcross@palomar.edu, for information.
