Cyberinfrastructure Resources and Practices: Survey Questionnaire

ckeller — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 10:37:25 -0600

This November 2007 survey is a critical component of the EDUCAUSE Center on Applied Research (ECAR) study of cyberinfrastructure in higher education. It seeks to understand the perspectives of information technology leaders and others currently working in universities and colleges. This study updates and expands our communities' understanding of how leading-edge information technology resources for research, scholarship, creative activity, and teaching and learning are utilized, provided, supported, and funded. This study is being conducted through the collaboration of many parties including the Council of Australian University Directors of Information Technology (CAUDIT), the European University Information Systems organization (EUNIS), the EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research (ECAR), and the EDUCAUSE Net@EDU Campus Cyberinfrastructure (CCI) working group.

Working Together: Multi-Institutional Efforts to Develop and Deliver Technology Services (Collaborators)

drupal — Fri, 10 Nov 2006 15:58:18 -0600

This November 2006 survey is for higher education institutions that indicated in an ECAR screening survey of September 2006 that they are involved in one or more significant multi-institutional collaborations. The survey will inform research that seeks to more deeply understand what drives institutions to collaborate as well as the extent of the collaborative activity.

Working Together: Multi-Institutional Efforts to Develop and Deliver Technology Services (Non-Collaborators)

drupal — Fri, 10 Nov 2006 16:01:54 -0600

This November 2006 survey is for higher education institutions that indicated in an ECAR screening survey of September 2006 that they have not engaged in a major IT collaboration within the past 24 months. The survey will inform research that seeks to understand the reasons institutions have not engaged in IT collaborations and their plans for future collaborations.

Working Together: Multi-Institutional Efforts to Develop and Deliver Technology Services

drupal — Mon, 11 Sep 2006 12:07:52 -0500

This September 2006 screening survey seeks to understand how higher education institutions collaborate to develop and deliver essential technology services. Before tackling a topic this broad, ECAR must better understand the landscape for collaboration. This survey assesses whether institutions are involved in a collaboration or agreement to purchase services from (or sell them to) other institutions today.

CHEMA Looks at the Future of Higher Education, 2006

drupal — Mon, 30 Jan 2006 15:59:39 -0600

This survey instrument is part of a project sponsored by CHEMA to look at the future of higher education from the perspective of its members. The project will examine how the executives who lead higher education's support functions anticipate that higher education will change over the next 10 years. It will identify the drivers of change and discuss the types of opportunities and threats these leaders foresee for higher education, their institutions, and their functional areas. The research will look at how some of these forces are creating change across multiple functional areas. To the extent that change is anticipated, we will also examine how prepared institutions are to manage change. Finally, the project will identify areas in which these leaders believe higher education can act to shape its own future. The project will be conducted by a research team from the EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research (ECAR).
