IT Policy in Higher Education: Now a Presidential Concern
| Title: | IT Policy in Higher Education: Now a Presidential Concern (ID: EDU06317) | | Author(s): | Terry W. Hartle (American Council on Education) | | Origin: | Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/10/2006) | | Type: | Presentations/Speeches | | Abstract: | IT policy issues, once the province of the campus IT leaders, now demand an increasing share of attention across the entire campus executive leadership. As IT becomes a critical, core service of campus operations and a central feature of strategic plans, it must rise to the level of boardroom discussions. Hear how the American Council on Education, EDUCAUSE, and other higher education associations work together to create and share a "higher education position" on pressing issues such as network neutrality, CALEA, and P2P file sharing with campus and government leaders. | | View this resource: | |
Higher Education and the Knowledge Economy
| Title: | Higher Education and the Knowledge Economy (ID: EDU05027) | | Author(s): | James Hilton (University of Virginia) | | Origin: | Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/19/2005) | | Type: | Presentations/Speeches | | Abstract: | Although the knowledge economy should be good news for higher education, colleges and universities now confront a variety of technical, legal, and cultural forces that threaten to relegate them to the periphery, including aggressive copyright laws that inhibit interoperability and the free exchange of information. Fortunately, open source software, mass digitization projects, and the emerging cyberinfrastructure offer an opportunity to redefine the university on a scale not seen since the emergence of the research university. | | View this resource: | |
