Technologies provided by YCCD District offices:
Much of the technology in use at Columbia College is provided by the Yosemite Community College District IT department, such as the installation and maintenance of the Datatel colleague system, networking, email, VOIP phone system, voice mail, web hosting and many more software applications.

The District has standardized on the Blackboard Learning System. The system is hosted thru a contractual agreement between Blackboard and District Offices. The Blackboard learning system is monitored and maintained blackboard-hosting services including nightly backups of all data; the District IT department maintains the connection between Blackboard and the Datatel colleague ERP system. Columbia College instructors maintain their own course content.
The Technology and Media Services department does not support Blackboard learning system product and cannot support development of class shells or course content. Faculty members requiring help with Blackboard should contact the ITC at 588-5011.
