CampusEAI: MyCase, A Community-Source Portal Strategy
| Title: | CampusEAI: MyCase, A Community-Source Portal Strategy (ID: SAC0314) | | Author(s): | Lev S. Gonick (Case Western Reserve University) | | Origin: | Presented at SAC Conferences (2003) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports, Presentations/Speeches | | Abstract: | Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) needed to cost-effectively integrate its enterprise applications and databases in real time to provide better teaching, learning, and research services. After extensive research, CWRU concluded it needed to develop its own non-proprietary, relatively inexpensive, and scalable portal. The resulting set of deliverables evolved into the CampusEAI portal effort. This session will address the enterprise application integration challenge, the partnership model with vendors and other universities, and the formation of a CampusEAI collaborative. | | View this resource: | |
Portals
| Title: | Portals (ID: SAC0217) | | Author(s): | Larry K. Christiansen (Mesa Community College) | | Origin: | Presented at SAC Conferences (2002) | | Type: | Presentations/Speeches | | Abstract: | Some buy off the shelf, others build their own, some build and buy. What is the effect of portals, and how are they being adapted by some organizations to fit the pedagogical needs of departments as well as the institution? Educational portals have the opportunity to go far beyond Excite and Yahoo. Will we have the courage to speak out for the educational use of portals as well as their use to personalize the University? | | View this resource: | |
