Data Adminstration Director Position Description
May 14, 2013 | Deborah B. Whitten

Good morning all;   Arizona State is creating a Data Administration team to manage data governance, policy, procedures, identity management, and metadata.  We plan to post a Director of Data Administration position.   There is no such posting currently on the Educause site and I haven’t seen position descriptions in the archives.  Would anyone have an example PD we might use as a basis for defining the duties and criteria for this job?     Thank you for anything you can share,

Deb

Name change to Handheld and Mobile Computing CG
September 12, 2012 | Michael Fary

As requested by the leader of the Handheld and Mobile Computing CG:

 

As you may have seen from recent posts on a few of the CG lists the Handheld and Mobile Computing CG is now Mobile Technologies.

As the importance of mobile technologies has evolved since the inception of this constituent group and as the importance of mobile technologies continues to transform higher education the name of the CG has also transformed.
