ITIL Service Management Practices: Third Time’s the Charm

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:ITIL Service Management Practices: Third Time’s the Charm (ID: ERS0804)
Author(s):Michael Disabato (Burton Group)
Origin:Documents Contributed by ECAR, Research Studies (07/07/2008)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:

Since its inception, the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) has remained the most widely recognized and adopted framework for IT service management. The many benefits of ITIL have become widely known and continue to grow as the community of practice matures. Most institutions using ITIL started with version 2 and are in the midst of their adoption process. Version 3 represents a significant change in the architecture of ITIL. ITIL version 3 aligns service management with evolving business environments, rapidly advancing technology, compliance requirements, and governance models, and it shifts ITIL from a process focus to a lifecycle focus. This research from the Burton Group discusses the notable shift in terms of how IT is viewed in the overall context of the institution.

What NERCOMP Innovators Can Learn from Hollywood

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:What NERCOMP Innovators Can Learn from Hollywood (ID: NCP08033)
Author(s):Scott Kirsner (Boston Globe)
Origin:Presented at NERCOMP Conferences (03/10/2008)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:

Technology innovators sometimes expect that users will embrace new ideas and new tools with open arms. In reality, most innovations are met with hostility and indifference, and it can take a lengthy campaign to persuade organizations to change the way they work. In an illustrated spin through Hollywood history, journalist and author Scott Kirsner will demonstrate how innovators like Pixar, George Lucas, and Bing Crosby (yes, "Mr. White Christmas") have changed the movie industry while facing enormous resistance. He'll also describe the three kinds of people that exist in every organization and some of the key reasons people tend to rebel (or go into a shell) when confronted with a new piece of technology.

ELI Podcast: Connectivism

Created by Gerry Bayne (EDUCAUSE) on January 29, 2008

In this 58 minute podcast, we feature a session by George Siemens, Associate Director for the Learning Technologies Centre at the University of Manitoba, entitled, "Connectivism". This speech was recorded at the ELI 2008 Meeting in San Antonio, Texas.

The waves of technological and social change have eroded the effectiveness of traditional views regarding what, how, and why to educate. To effectively educate learners, fundamental assertions need to be rethought: the design of schools and curriculum, the nature of knowledge in a connected world, the relationship between educator and learner, the means and methods of authenticating information and knowledge, and, perhaps most significantly, what it means “to know” in complex, rapidly developing, and chaotic environments. This session will present connectivism as a theory of learning that can bridge the rift between traditional and new educational approaches to prepare learners for the tomorrow they will inherit.
