Web 2.0 in CCC assessment, planning, and accreditation efforts

I wonder if the experiments by some California community colleges with free Web 2.0 services in their assessment, planning, and accreditation efforts are related to the state's persistent budget problems. See:

• The Irvine Valley College SLO resource site on WordPress;
• The Mt. San Jacinto College 2009-10 catalog on Issuu;
• The Rio Hondo College institutional planning survey on SurveyMonkey;
• The Solano Community College show cause report and program review documents wikis on PBworks and the accreditation progress and basic skills blogs on Blogger;
• The Folsom Lake College strategic planning blog through Blogger;
• The Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District think tank info bank on Google Sites;
• The Grossmont College SLO toolkit on Scribd

(Colleges outside of California are also using Web 2.0 resources. For example, a search for "SLOs" on Scribd also found several assessment documents from Malcolm X College in Chicago.)
