  1. Emerging EducationTechnologies Prepared for: June 22, 2011

  2. Agenda • Changing Student Expectations • Technology: what’s next? • Safety & Security • Planning a “Technology Friendly” • Building

  3. Changing Expectations

  4. Changing Expectations • Differing Points of View in the Classroom: • Baby Boomers (Born 1946 – 1964) • Generation X (Born 1965 to 1978) • Generation Y (Born 1979 to 1994) • Very different ideas, desires, learning preferences • Greater emphasis on collaboration • Addressing individual expectations a • significant challenge! 1.

  6. Changing Expectations • Differing Points of View in the Classroom: • Baby Boomers (Born 1946 – 1964) • Generation X (Born 1965 to 1978) • Generation Y (Born 1979 to 1994) • Very different ideas, desires, learning preferences • Greater emphasis on collaboration • Addressing individual expectations a • significant challenge! 1.

  7. Changing Expectations • Tech Savvy Generation dominates • Many bring an Internet capable device to class • Increasing demand for access to course materials, anywhere, anytime, from any device

  8. Trends in Technology: 36 Month Forecast

  9. Traditional Technology Deployment

  10. “Converged” / IP Network Control Devices Endpoint Devices IP Backbone Network

  11. “Cloud Computing” • Devices Untethered from Applications • Many Students Bring Web-Capable Devices • Web Accessible Applications: • Can be more cost effective, use participants’ device • Dependent upon strong IP Network • Truly “anything anywhere” • iTunes University, polleverywhere.com • Pay-As-You-Go “Software as a Service” • Microsoft Word by the use?

  12. Wireless Matures • Long Term Battle between WiFi, 4G, WiMax

  13. “Major” Advances in Voice • Single handset, single number likely in 24 months • “Presence” will provide a new level of access • Makes Presence known • Highly customized call treatment • Always in the user’s control • Custom Applications possible: • Example: Skill Finder • Google Voice

  14. “Major” Advances in Voice • Single handset, single number likely in 24 months • “Presence” will provide a new level of access • Makes Presence known • Highly customized call treatment • Always in the user’s control • Custom Applications possible: • Example: Skill Finder • Google Voice

  15. Collaboration Comes of Age • Will Augment Face-to-Face Teaching • Truly Useful Tools Emerging • Likely to drive demand • for Video Capture • in classrooms • Voice, in whatever form, is a critical part of: • Collaboration Tools • Lecture “Capture,” Podcasting • Desktop Video/ Video Conferencing / Telepresence

  16. Classroom Technologies • Fully “Mediated” Rooms • HD Video, Presentation Systems with • multiple points of input • Document Camera • Strong Wireless Network • Student Collaboration, Feedback Tools • Secure location for equipment • Abundant electrical outlets for student use • Typically multiple standards • Need Consistent components, Controls • To Lectern or not to Lectern? • Don’t overlook training & video storage

  17. Intruder on Campus Safety and Security • Required in a Post 9/11 World • Mass Notification Increasingly Important: • Digital Signage • Text • Page • Displays on Telephones • Seize A/V Displays • Intelligent Analytics: • Facial Recognition • Shot Spotter • Abandoned Bag Scanner

  18. Ones to Watch… • Voice Recognition • Speech to Text • RFID • Nanotechnology

  19. Designing “Technology Friendly Space”

  20. Wired vs. Wireless • Category 5E is the minimum recommended grade: Cat 5 is dead! • True Universal Cabling strongly encouraged. • TechKnowledge believes the overall demand for cabling has peaked. • With the advent of a single IP network, standardization and pulling cable to a single equipment room are essential. • Wireless Networks are typically in addition to wired network connections. In the Short Term, It’s still a Wired World!

  21. CATV / MATV Ground Bar 4 - 6 " Riser Cores Ladder Rack Equipment and Cable Racks Overhead Page Security Ground Bar V T 4 - 6 " Riser Cores A M / V T A C Equipment and Cable Racks Ladder Rack 4 " Sleeves y t i r u c e S Overhead Page 220 VAC 30 AMP 120 VAC 20 AMP Technology Closet per 20,000 ft. Technology Closets • At Least One Per Floor: • Many Devices, Multiple Networks • Congested Wall Space • Typically at least two 19” racks • May house some A/V components as well • 100 sq. ft. / 20,000 typical • 3’ of working clearance • Floor - VCT or sealed • 208 Volt Components Common • 24 Hour HVAC - (1) air change per hour • UPS now considered essential to power VoIP phones

  22. Data Center Planning Data Centers • Each one is unique • “Tier I, II, III, IV” fashionable • Business continuity essential • Mission critical (24 x 7) • Location sensitive (basement) • Dramatic growth in storage • Onsite (SAN’s) • Backup sites • “Cooled Cabinets” may be an affordable option in some circumstances

  23. Budget Guidelines • Square footage rarely a meaningful predictor of technology costs • Admin Seats + ClassroomsX 1.15 = Telephone Count • Admin Seats + Classrooms X 1.25 = Cable Count • Square Footage / 20,000 per = Number of Technology Closets, IP Switches • Budget Guidelines: • VoIP Phones: $1,100 per telephone • Call Centers / Special Use: $2,500 per position minimum • Wireless: $0.50 per sq. ft. • Cabling: $400 to $550 per faceplate • Data Centers: $150 to $700 per foot • Digital Signage: $0.65 per sq. ft. • IP Networks: Wild Card! • Audio / Visual: $ -0- to Millions • Don’t forget IP ports and cable for security, building automation

  24. It’s Not Easy Being Green • Establish a baseline and measure results • Many opportunities for quick savings: • Enable power saving features on all devices • Virtualization of servers in data centers • Turn down unused servers, PC’s, printers • Consider “virtual desktops” as offerings mature • UPS and HVAC frequently make up 50% of power consumption in a data center • “Flywheel” Generators can be used in lieu of UPS, better options likely to become available soon

  25. Conclusions • Emerging Technologies provide means to: • Stay agile in a rapidly changing world • Meet the needs of the generations • Extend reach beyond classrooms • Distinguish your Institution • Impact Costs of Education • “Conventional Wisdom” no longer applies • Design classrooms with tomorrow in mind • Fasten your seatbelt, hold on tight!
