EDUCAUSE Releases 7 Things... Brief on Federated Identity ManagementCreated by Peggy Kurkowski (EDUCAUSE) on September 10, 2009
Identity management refers to the policies, processes, and technologies that establish user identities and enforce rules about access to digital resources. With an enterprise identity management system, rather than having separate credentials for each system, a user can use a single digital identity to access all resources to which the user is entitled. Federated identity management permits extending this approach above the enterprise level, creating a trusted authority for digital identities across multiple organizations.

Education Technology - Don’t Lean On It, Leverage It!Created by Kelly Walsh (The College of Westchester) on September 7, 2009
Are you using Internet tools to engage students in the classroom and improve learning outcomes, or are you just using technology to decrease the time you spend lecturing and interacting with your students?There are many great internet based tools available to bring new elements of collaboration, interaction, and even a little fun to the instructional process and thereby better engage and motivate your students and enhance learning outcomes. Of course, it is also entirely possible to use technology as a crutch or a “baby sitter”, but this is a rather unfortunate use of these tools and can give education technology a bad name.

Universal broadband: when and for how much?Created by Wendy Wigen (EDUCAUSE) on September 1, 2009
If current broadband adoption trends continue in the United States, we will achieve 99% penetration of broadband by 2016. But there is a catch. The Internet is changing. New video-based content demands bandwidth levels that will require upward of a $300 billion investment in improved infrastructure. Assuming we want to meet this demand, who is going to pay? That was the thesis upon which the study, “Towards Universal Broadband: Flexible Broadband Pricing and the Digital Divide” is based. On September 1, Dr. Robert Shapiro introduced this new study (co-authored by Dr. Kevin Hassett) with a straightforward discussion of their research findings. In order to achieve ubiquitous broadband adoption, disparities caused by race, geography and household income must be eliminated. Yet, the price increases that are necessary to pay for new infrastructure only exacerbate this digital divide.
