IT in Higher Ed…NOW • Syllabus2004 higher ed technology study • 52 colleges & universities • Nationwide; all sectors • Spring/summer 2004 • Campus Computing Survey • 516 colleges & universities • Nationwide; all sectors • Summer/fall 2004
1. Course Management Systems / Open Source 2. Network security / privacy 3. Portal Technologies / eServices 4. Mobile / Wireless / Broadband 5. Budgeting / Infrastructure Replacement 6. ePortfolios / Assessment 7. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) 8. Cost of Content / Publishing Syllabus2004 Study
8. Cost of Content / Publishing • Digital content from commercial vendors – they’re selling; we’re not buying • Homegrown content – faculty produced; MERLOT; MIT OpenCourseWare • Few supports • Even fewer standards
7. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) • Banner, PeopleSoft, Datatel • Ease of use and ease of integration are major concerns • Need for buy-in “from the top” • One area that has seen some increased funding (CCS) • Getting ready for upgrades/replacements (CCS)
6. ePortfolios / Student Assessment • Still in “early adopter” phase • Concerns about protecting information & maintaining over time • ½ using commercial systems; ½ using OSPI • “Open Source will play an increasingly important role…” (51.9% CCS) • 5-10 years for global faculty adoption; 30 years to replace current grading/credit systems
5. Budgeting / Infrastructure Replacement • IT budgets saw slight improvements in past year (also supported in CCS) • Most bumps are for security, portals & eServices, CMS systems, ERP, mobile/wireless • Schools with older, more stable systems looking at major upgrades/replacements…Banner 7?
4. Mobile / Wireless / Broadband Technologies • Majority of institutions either have, or have plans for, wireless networks (55.5% planning according to CCS) • Bandwidth not a major concern • P2P still an issue; schools range from policing to educating • Still uncertain about future for tablets & handheld computers
3. Portal Technologies / eServices • Single sign-on & integration remain top concerns • Not a lot of knowledge about ROI • eCommerce & eProcurement very popular • 37.1% report working campus portal – up from 28.4% in 2003 (CCS) • Portals & eCommerce get low marks in infrastructure service (CCS)
2. Network Security / Privacy • Working at balance between openness and security • Human error as problematic as hackers • Security becoming a full-time job • Compliance a key issue • FERPA, Patriot Act not key (SEVIS?) • Importance of security differs by sector (CCS)
1. Course Management Systems / Open Source • 93% buy commercial CMS; 30% of faculty use them • WebCT & Blackboard get low marks on price, service, ease-of-use • Everyone looking to Sakai / OKI, but… • How many will really be able to implement?
