An Interview with Jack McCredie at CNI's 2007 Spring Task Force MeetingCreated by Gerry Bayne (EDUCAUSE) on May 01, 2007
This podcast features a 13 minute interview with Jack McCredie, Associate Vice Chancellor, Emeritus, CIO, Emeritus, and Senior Research Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley. He discusses collaboration between departments, campuses, and institutions and the issues and challenges facing system unification. An important issue in planning, managing, and funding the broad range of information services on campuses is how to get departmental, campus, system-wide, and external organizations to work well together. Often they do not, and sometimes they actively compete. The EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research (ECAR), the Common Solutions Group, CNI, the UC Berkeley campus, and many other organizations have been working on developing collaborative models that provide better service and that save money. This interview is provided courtesy of CNI and was recorded at their 2007 Spring Task Force Meeting EDUCAUSE Southwest Regional Conference 2007. Summary: Collaboration and the Academy of the FutureCreated by Lida L. Larsen (EDUCAUSE) on March 15, 2007
Summary: Opening General Session 2007 Southwest Regional Conference February 21, 2007 Austin, TX Collaboration and the Academy of the Future Brian Hawkins, President, EDUCAUSE Abstract This session will discuss the essential need to collaborate in the new models of higher education. Collaboration is no longer an alternative strategy—it is the only means of competitive survival. The session will identify reasons why we must collaborate, obstacles to collaboration, and new business models to facilitate this much-needed approach in the current and future higher education environment. Summary Quoting from “The Mirage of Continuity: Reconfiguring Academic Information Resources for the 21st Century,” (http://www.educause.edu/LibraryDetailPage/666?ID=PUB6004) Brian Hawkins made the point that the things that have made US Higher Education strong in the past are now the barriers to the maintaining that strength in the future. A short walk-through of history looked at the 1960-1980 as a period when we had fewer users and specialized uses of computing on college campuses. Computing was done with mainframes. People had limited use. Networking was not in the picture. The 1980’s brought an explosion of computing with microcomputers which expanded the order of magnitude of use but still were somewhat limited. Networking was in the picture but still not a major player. Today IT is ubiquitous and the increase in users is by two orders of magnitude. Support staff and financials have gone up 2-3 times but in comparison the user bases have grown astronomically.

SuprNova.org denunciation droppedCreated by Stuart Yeates (University of Oxford) on December 20, 2005
A year ago today the wildly successful Bittorrent search engine SuprNova.org went offline. It has now emerged that, despite police raids on their ISP and administrators home, it wasn't doing anything wrong. Bittorrent, like explosives, has a wide range of legal uses, particularly in the open source and open content worlds. Azureus maintain an excellent list of legal torrent sites carrying only apparently legal content. |
