Creating a Collaborative Information Technology Environment for Higher Education
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Creating a Collaborative Information Technology Environment for Higher Education (ID: FFPIU026)
Author(s):Ira H. Fuchs
Origin:Publications from the Forum for the Future of Higher Education (2002)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:Fuchs discusses the impediments to collaboration as well as remarkable current efforts that might point the way to the future of information technology in higher education. He indicates that "Middleware", software which enables direct communication between systems and applications, will enable institutions to assemble and run a common architecture that lowers the threshold of effort and therefore substantially decreases the cost of development and ownership.

How (and Why) to Listen to Heavy Metal: Participating in Standards Development Lets Higher Education Control its Destiny
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:How (and Why) to Listen to Heavy Metal: Participating in Standards Development Lets Higher Education Control its Destiny (ID: NLI0357)
Author(s):Vicki Suter (EDUCAUSE)
Origin:Contributed by EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (2003)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:One of the goals of the NLII is developing tools and standards to support new learning environments and creating market structures for the development of interactive learning materials. The NLII gives high priority to the monitoring of and participation in the development of technical specifications and standards for learning materials, instructional technologies, and software developed to manage courses (or learning), learning objects and other content, or student activities

Many factors influence the development of specifications and standards throughout their lifecycle. In particular, good communication and coordination between the tool users and the tool makers is critical, and the NLII sees its role as to facilitate that communication and coordination, working particularly with the IMS.

This article highlights several issues such as the specification and standards development life cycle, use case methodology and open source development. The role of IMS, OKI, and Shibboleth in this context is discussed; the University of Delaware's uPortal describes one model model for open source software development; and anoverview of NLII's involvement in the process of specification and standards development is given.
