Directors Seminar Sessions360-Degree Support: Wrapping a Full Array of Faculty Support Services Around the Introduction of Multimedia ClassroomsMonday, August 06, 2001 Richard Alan Ranker, Manager, Learning Technology Group, Lancaster University It's not about technology, it's about teaching! Since faculty are doing the teaching, the introduction of anything that changes faculty routines requires support services that meet their needs. This presentation starts by describing practical and successful steps taken to introduce multimedia classrooms on one mid-sized campus. It ends with transforming this approach into a rubric that might be applied to the introduction of any technology in academe. Birds of a Feather (Sign up during registration on Sunday/Monday)Monday, August 06, 2001 Birds of a Feather (Sign up during registration Sunday/Monday)Tuesday, August 07, 2001 Converged Communications: Voice, Data, VideoMonday, August 06, 2001 E. Michael Staman, Peyton Anderson Professor for IT, Macon State College Using Internet technology to handle traditional voice traffic provides opportunities to reduce costs, integrate networks, and expand communications services. Or does it? EDUCAUSE's Net@EDU Integrated Communications Strategies working group, with a little help from the National Science Foundation, has been exploring the economic, technical, operations, and policy issues associated with this still-emerging technology. The group recently assembled a group of experts to assess the current state-of-the-art, ask hard questions, and suggest strategies for higher education. This discussion session will include a very brief presentation of some of the more than 50 recommendations emanating from the work to date. EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research (ECAR)Monday, August 06, 2001 Robert Albrecht, ECAR Senior Fellow, EDUCAUSE Mary Beth O'Connor Baker, Mary Beth Baker & Associates Richard N. Katz, Vice President, EDUCAUSE Diana G. Oblinger, President and CEO, EDUCAUSE Please join the EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research (ECAR) Director and Fellows for an exciting and informative session on the ECAR initiatives and research development opportunities. Faculty Issues: Organizing for Taking Learning Seriously in Teaching with TechnologyMonday, August 06, 2001 Randall Bass, Assistant Provost, Georgetown University In this session we will raise questions about supporting faculty innovation in teaching and technology. In particular we will ask: How do we develop support programs and structures that create an environment for sustained innovation? In faculty and curriculum development, how do we balance scale and individual difference? How might technology-support programs cut across institutional barriers to taking teaching and learning seriously? From Dog and Pony to Best of ShowTuesday, August 07, 2001 Kris A. Biesinger, Associate Vice Chancellor, IIT Services, Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia The University System of Georgia continues to provide numerous opportunities for faculty to increase their instructional technology knowledge and skills. Even with these opportunities, developing online course materials is a complex undertaking. Rarely are faculty able to create high-quality programs, courses, and course materials that demonstrate appropriate learning strategies for online learning, that are considered easy to use by students, and that comply with copyright. To increase the likelihood that online courses and course materials address pedagogical, technical, and legal issues in appropriate ways, the University System of Georgia is creating a collection of online teaching tools. These tools are a work in progress, but components will address the various standards advocated in the USG as well as program development strategies and accompanying online services. Identification and Authentication for New CommunitiesTuesday, August 07, 2001 Michael R. Gettes, Senior Consulting Technical Architect, MIT Keith D. Hazelton, Senior IT Architect, University of Wisconsin-Madison As we extend our services to new and broader communities, the old ways of issuing credentials reveal their limits. When people don't have to show up at the Photo ID office, how do we know they are who they say they are? As PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) looms (slowly, to be sure), the RA (Registration Authority) function will come center stage. Is there an integrated approach to all of the above? IT Planning in the Context of Institutional Strategic PlanningMonday, August 06, 2001 Bruce Briggs, Senior Vice President, American Council on Education (ACE) We will begin with a brief examination of two examples of IT planning processes in higher education and discuss the relative merits of each. Using these as a starting point, we will build upon the experiences of the attendees to develop a group understanding of the key elements of a successful IT planning process in the context of institutional strategic planning. We will conclude with a discussion of alternative ways to build and sustain the process. Learning-Management Systems: The Next GenerationTuesday, August 07, 2001 Lois Brooks, Director, Academic Computing, Stanford University Managing learning is a challenge we're all facing. Innovations in the classroom, dorm-based programs, distance education initiatives, and multicampus collaborations require us to develop new tools and techniques for technology-based suport. In this session, we'll identify how learning-management systems should evolve to support higher education's needs. Lifecycle Funding Strategies for Campus TechnologiesTuesday, August 07, 2001 Greg L. Burris, Vice President for Administrative & Information Services, Missouri State University Discuss the challenges of lifecycle funding of campus technologies, total cost of ownership, and how campuses are budgeting for technologies. Includes a review of how Missouri's 2- and 4-year institutions collaborated on a campus technology infrastructure funding proposal based on various metrics, and convinced state leadership to take this approach. Management Tips from a Four-Time CIOTuesday, August 07, 2001 James I. Penrod, Professor Emeritus, Leadership, The University of Memphis This session will feature management models and lessons learned that help create successful partnerships with executive officers and other senior managers. We will discuss items important for CIO influence, hints about budget preparation, ideas concerning governance structure for IT decision making, strategic planning and management concepts, board room tactics, and some lessons learned the hard way. Network & Systems SecurityTuesday, August 07, 2001 Daniel A. Updegrove, Consultant Gordon D. Wishon, CIO, Associate VP & Associate Provost, University of Notre Dame Colleges and universities are both targets and sources of network attacks. What can be done, technically, organizationally, and collaboratively, to reduce security risks? Do we have adequate policies, resources, and support from executive management? This discussion will be led by the co-chairs of the EDUCAUSE Task Force on Systems Security. Network Technology IssuesMonday, August 06, 2001 Ronald R. Hutchins, Associate Vice Provost for Research & Technology, Chief Tech Officer, Georgia Institute of Technology ARPANET, NSFNET, vBNS, I2/Abilene -- the progression continues as higher education attempts to keep up with increasing demand for networked resources and services. Then there are the technologies themselves, such as MPLS, Diff Serv, RSVP, IPv6, and a host of others that are making networks "smarter" and more manageable. Transmission modes have evolved from copper to fiber and onto wireless. Share your thoughts and concerns about current issues and future solutions as we all struggle to manage and plan for an anytime, anyplace, any bandwidth future. OpenCourseWare: A Strategy for Educational TransformationTuesday, August 07, 2001 M. S. Vijay Kumar, Senior Associate Dean & Director, Office of Educational Innovation & Techno, MIT MIT recently announced OpenCourseWare (OCW), an initiative to make MIT course materials available on the Web, free of charge. How will this initiative lead to fundamental changes in the way colleges and universities engage the Web as a vehicle for education? Does this raise the floor or lower the ceiling in terms of participation of our faculty in online educational opportunities? How does OCW differ from other types of Web-based education, including distance learning? Palm ComputingTuesday, August 07, 2001 Richard H. Falk, Professor and Director, Faculty & Instructional Support, Virginia Commonwealth University Catherine Sommers, Manager, Information Security, Virginia Commonwealth University This session will describe the technical issues of deploying PDAs in several projects underway at VCU's School of Pharmacy and the School of Medicine. PDAs are being used for data collection, management of patient care, and practice management. Non-medical initiatives under way at VCU include a project to provide university Web content via beaming station kiosks located around the campus. Perspectives from the Boardroom: IT and the Role of CIOs as Part of the Executive Management TeamMonday, August 06, 2001 Carol A. Cartwright, President, Bowling Green State University Frank Lebens, Vice President for Administration & Finance, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo Gary Whitehouse, Provost and VP, Academic Affairs, University of Central Florida CIOs at academic institutions are no longer relegated solely to the backroom. Information technology is now viewed as an indispensable element of the campus infrastructure, and as such, CIOs are increasingly becoming members of the President's cabinet. As this relationship begins to mature, CIOs are moving from mere reporters of how IT dollars are being spent to equal partners in strategic planning and decision making that goes into running a campus. The panel for this session is composed of a president, a CFO, and a provost, providing three different viewpoints on the emerging role of the CIO. Portal Implementation -- A Day At A TimeWednesday, August 08, 2001 John Peterson, Director, System Engineering & Operations, University of Wisconsin-Madison Ann E. Stunden, CIO, University of Wisconsin-Madison This session will discuss the UW-Madison Portal Project roll out. It began last fall with a pilot to fewer than 500 students, ramped up to the full student body of 40,000 this summer, and will add 14,000 faculty and staff by year's end. Strategies presented include structured collaboration, multiple targeted demos, frequent focus and feedback groups, customer-expectation management, adding compelling functionality to encourage broad usage, and overcoming data "custodians'" reluctance to sharing their data. Seeing Over the HorizonMonday, August 06, 2001 Ted Hanss, Director, Enabling Technologies, Medical School, University of Michigan-Ann Arbor Kenneth J. Klingenstein, Director, Internet2 Middleware and Security, Internet2 David L. Wasley, Retired, University of California Office of the President Predicting the future is an impossible goal, but speculating about it can stimulate thoughts about where our current activities might lead us and whether we may want to head in another direction! Three brave, if foolhardy, panelists will attempt to transport the audience beyond their current conundra to a time when anything is possible. Standard Technology Suites for the ClassroomMonday, August 06, 2001 Malcolm B. Brown, Director of ELI, EDUCAUSE The discussion leader is collecting classroom technology-3standards information from three kinds of institutions: Ivy-Plus, liberal arts, and community colleges. A comparison of these data will be the departure point for our discussion. Given the significant expenses associated with classroom technology, what approaches make sense? Targeting Transformation: Taking the Big Step in Teaching and Learning with TechnologyWednesday, August 08, 2001 Kathleen Christoph, Director, Academic Technology, University of Wisconsin-Madison Anne H. Moore, Associate Vice President, Learning Technologies, Virginia Tech Ruth M. Sabean, Assistant Vice Provost, Educational Tech, retired, UCLA What can technology really do to significantly impact teaching and learning? This discussion will center around the experiences of its participants in planning, organizing, implementing, and assessing programs aimed at major, systemic change. We will work toward creating: 1) guidelines for readiness, 2) strategies for the various stages, and 3) models for implementation. What to Do When You Get to the BoardroomTuesday, August 07, 2001 Donald R. Riley, Professor, Decision Information Technologies, University of Maryland We will discuss how a CIO moves from just IT leadership to being part of the senior university management team. What changes, and what doesn't? What leadership skills do you need to focus on to be an effective part of president's cabinet? What are the attributes and perspectives needed to provide a blend of academic leadership and IT, to provide strategic leadership, and to run infrastructure? When Things Go Bad: Security and Privacy and Trust and BrandMonday, August 06, 2001 Ronald A. Johnson, Vice President Emeritus, University of Washington Are you betting that your state-of-the-art, trust-inducing protective structures and related policy and procedure framework are perfect? What happens with the Board, the public, the victims, the media, and others when privacy/security is undermined by users playing fast and loose with passwords? Or when the protective technology fails? Or when, as in a recent UW case, security is compromised by lax departmental system administrators? What can be done to better address such exposures? Wireless Access at University of North CarolinaWednesday, August 08, 2001 Marian G. Moore, Vice President, Information Technology, Boston College Beginning with incoming freshmen in the fall of 2000, undergraduates at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill were required to own laptop computers that meet university specifications. As part of that initiative, UNC is partnering with Cisco to provide students, faculty, and staff with wireless access to the campus network, Internet, and e-mail services from a variety of locations on the UNC-CH campus. |
