Kathy,
It is good to hear from you. At Ashland we are looking closely at Savant Learning Systems (http://www.savantlearningsystems.com/) and have had them on campus a few times recently. They have online Criminal Justice, Business Management and MBA programs and they have many other courses as well. They are oriented more towards the adult working student versus the traditional undergraduate. They have their own learning management system (V-Camp) which is a little more basic than Blackboard or Angel but it gets the job done and lays out the content nicely. This would be a revenue sharing venture with the university providing the instructors and SLS providing the all content, LMS, Help Desk, orientation (student and faculty members) and the give the students an iPad which is used to attend their courses.
Let me know if you have any...

We are attempting to integrate our Shibboleth-based single sign on environment with Microsoft Office365. While MS claims to integrate with Shib, their documentation is a little bit lacking in details. Have any of you successfully integrated the two and would you be willing to have a quick call between technicians to work share the details? Thanks much. Greg.

Santa Clara has a four year rolling replacement program. We donate all the machines replaced in any given year to local schools and non-profits, who seem happy to get four year old machines for the cost of picking them up. We limit any entity to 30 machines a year, and have institutions that have come back year over year. Demand always exceeds supply.
All machines are wiped and reimaged with the OS version with which they were originally acquired. No other software comes with the systems.

Hi,
In line with our discussion about professional development and selecting the appropriate professional development for our staff members, it just happened that Don Welch, the CEO of Merit Network, shared this blog entry he found. Don noted: "Growing up in the Army, I'm used to a lot of leadership training from early in one's career. As I left the Army I noticed a real vacuum in leadership training especially for new leaders. This post supports my perception."
Do we wait to long to train our leaders? Perhaps that is part of the challenge with professional development. We need to get people involved in leadership earlier.In line with our discussion about professional development and selecting the appropriate professional development for our staff members, it just happened that Don Welch, the CEO of Merit Network, shared this blog entry he found.

Colleagues,
After transitioning from VA to WA I am the new CIO at Pacific Lutheran University. My third day on the job has given me my first challenge, for which I am seeking some of your wise input. The Institution purchased a CRM for Admissions and Communications here. It was painfully rolled out in Admissions a year ago and the roll out has started in Communications and they are extremely unhappy with the product. If any of you know of the CRM named Talisma, and have some experience with it, could we communicate off line? Is anybody using a CRM that they absolutely love and is really tailored for higher education?
Many thanks,

I am concerned about the technical complexity required to successfully undergo this shift and would appreciate a conference call with any institution who has successfully migrated. Both I and my team would like feedback on peer architecture, security, etc. Please respond back off list to tchester@uga.edu if you can assist with this.

Folks,
We are in the process of evaluating options for a new email/calendar
solution for faculty, staff and students. As you might expect, we are
currently evaluating both MS Office 365 and Google cloud services. I've
received some good informal feedback from other institutions who have
also made a change to cloud services... but I'm interested if anyone has
a requirements document they would be willing to share?
Thank you.

Greetings all,
We recently received our first “Early Settlement” style DMCA notice, and were wondering if anyone treats these notices any differently from C&D letters. Due to certain limitations we are in the process of eliminating, we were only able to narrow down to 2 the number of students who could be responsible. With the usual C&D, if we’re unable to narrow down the incident to one user, we notify all users detected of the infringement and follow our usual procedures with each of them. However, with this notice, the complainant requires action on the part of the infringing party, and we’re unsure how to handle it. Has anyone been in a similar situation or received any guidance from a legal expert on how to proceed?
Thanks,

We started using PaperCut this year in our shared Engineering labs, initially using it to monitor only from September to December, and then using that information to implement a full controlled pay-for-print service starting in January. We matched the campus rate of $0.10/page (the library asked us not to undercut them!). Don’t offer colour at this time within the Faculty. We discount to $0.09/side if they duplex to encourage the paper saving, which costs us a little but is worth it for the environmental impact. They can purchase top-up cards from our Student Services office – I’m working on a web-based payment system as well.
I’ve been completely happy with PaperCut. It was easy to implement, remarkably inexpensive especially compared to other solutions, and has been solid and reliable. It handles multiple active directory domains for authentication, operates...

When I came to Bowdoin ten years ago, there was a multitude of advisory/governance/oversight committees. I immediately started by removing all the committees that did not provide any value and concentrated my efforts to make the existing ones more useful. The following year I focused on elevating the trustee advisory committee to a full committee, and establishing a new student advisory committee. Two years into the process I integrated the trustee/faculty/ student advisory committees into one meeting every quarter. This committee included two faculty, four trustees, one alumnus and two students. Three years into the process, the faculty committee determined that it had a voice and disbanded the faculty committee. The IT Advisory Committee wanted projects that would make Bowdoin better place and it functioned well in this role for about four more years. Committee members change every two years but I added a clause that allowed anyone who had served on the committee to continue to...

While we have not implemented mandatory requirements, we are about to. We are in the process of switching from one LMS to another commencing this fall. Working with the provost we will enforce some basic minimum requirements that all faculty must embrace having to do with course material posted to the course site, assessment rubrics adhered to in assessing student progress and portfolio creation of faculty work. These requirements will go into effect this summer and I will be interested to see how this "forced" use of what is a basic classroom tool by all faculty works.

The process we are implementing is very similar and includes almost identical categories. We utilize HelpStar to track our Break/Fix and Service Level work, then maintain a project list for the larger projects that must go through our project definition and prioritization process.
Our Service Catalog is in process and we chose to simplify it for Phase I in response to feedback that people don’t know what services we provide and how to request things.

Non necessariamente.
MOOCs would not be possible without the technological component that undergirds them. While for a technology association to guide its members to register the pedagogical, not to mention social and economic, drivers that help to shape MOOCs, or why distance education (ago old) is now the talk of the town, broadens discussions, to have to choose between whether it is "technology," "pedagogy" or "social or economic" as a single driving factor might still be sifting through the trees at the neglect of the forest. It is all of the above, and more.
Would it be better to strive for the entire calculus (for it is not simple math either) that brings these and other factors into a dynamic relationship within higher education that CIOs and IT organizations are expected to at once lead and support?
Grazie!

A little background:
We have an unmanaged Cisco wireless N network (meaning each base station has to be configured individually) that covers all our indoor spaces. In a couple of areas the speed of the wireless network can be slow at times. One building is a residence hall that has faculty offices on the first level and the other is a set of classrooms (one of which is a classroom with 20 laptops).
The challenge:
In discussions with our network person, his proposed solution is to move all the classroom laptops to the wired network and restrict faculty from using the wireless network in the residence hall (because they have wired connections in their offices). When I broached the subject of reviewing the density of base stations, he said it didn't matter because there was no way to guarantee that the load would be spread across the base stations.
The direction that has been proposed seems like a poor decision strategically and not supported by what I've seen other places. I know...

Good morning Everyone!
This week we successfully transitioned the Concord University phone system to the ShoreTel VOIP solution. The campus seems delighted with it so far. Something our project had not anticipated is the interest into the music selection for Music on Hold (MOH).
I’d like to hear how other campuses have addressed this in recent years and would especially appreciate information on the following:
With music preferences being so subjective, how did you/your campus community decide what type of music to use?
What vendors have you partnered with to ensure licensing/copyright compliance and how satisfied are you with their service?

Phishing, and our constituents responding to it, seems to be on the increase this year. Despite our efforts at educating our end users (posters, new faculty/student orientation, e-mail, …) we still have a handful of people who simply supply their credentials whenever asked. Often, to phishing messages that aren’t even credible. Seems to be fairly evenly spread amongst our faculty, staff and students.

Hello,
We have a policy of not modifying baseline code in our ERP system (we're running Banner). We're often asked to provide functionality that would necessitate core code changes, and we explain that we have a policy against it, and why. Typically, cost avoidance is the most compelling argument we advance.
What I don't have is hard, quantitative data to support our contention that modifying baseline code imposes real costs on the organization; everyone agrees that this must be true, but we don't have the numbers to back it up. Lately, we've had serious inquiries from higher up the food chain about the costs and considerations involved in changing our policies; they're willing to accept the added cost and risk, but they'd like us to quantify them.
Can anyone point me toward studies, surveys or other data to help me quantify the potential costs and risks involved in modifying delivered code? Comparisons of IT development staff size for...

The situation at Central Washington that Carmen relates is likely not that uncommon.
We had a similar situation at RPI, and although it may sound non-responsive, our solution was to increase our commitment to wireless in the residence halls, by increasing coverage, increasing capacity, and improving the quality of the service, perhaps imperfectly in some circumstances. The issues of cost and wireless "unfriendly" buildings were one we faced as well, but we did not see another way to meet all our requirements and objectives.
Having done that, we changed our policy, after meeting with some student groups to socialize the policy and get feedback, so that "students are no longer allowed to run their own wireless routers or access points." This policy, which can be found at http://helpdesk.rpi.edu/update.do?artcenterkey=544, takes effect when...

We're needing a video streaming server for some online courses we're offering and have had a couple of unsuccessful runs at getting open source Kaltura working. We're no strangers to OSS software, so the question arises, is anybody in higher ed successfully using the OSS version of Kaltura, or only the commercial version. And the second question would be, if you're not using Kaltura for video streaming are you using something else that is cost effective and good.

up a "self service" cafe in our Library. Students would swipe their credit/debit card on their equip, and presto, they get a sandwich out of a machine. The vendor wants us to provide a wired connection to the Internet for their machine. We feel the vendor
should pay for their own separate ISP connection and wired pathway, but wondered if others have a risk assessment, policy, SLA, data, or advice on it.
Thanks in advance for any input,
- John

Are you running your public facing website via SharePoint? If so how do you and your users like it?
If you use another CMS what is it and how well is it working for you?
Thanks!
