RE: Web Directory Data Management

Found In Egroup: Web Professionals \ view thread
I have a follow up question about titles. Do your ERP's have fields in place for more than one job title (i.e. a Professor who is also a program director or chair)? Also does HR maintain multiple job titles for these individuals? That's where a lot of our problems lie. Someone comes to us that their ...

Thanks Jackie, I'm sorry to hear about your directory headaches, but it's somewhat comforting to know I'm not the only one! For name changes, we have a self-service system for setting a preferred name. It doesn't overwrite their legal name in the ERP, but does supersede it on the public facing directory. ...

Web Directory Data Management

Happy Friday all, I would like to find out how other IT / web departments manage (if at all) directory content. I'm trying to make a case at my institution for ensuring all employee and department data that appears in our web directory is managed and maintained within Human Resources, and IT remains ...

Google Changing OAuth2 Policies for native web views

Found In Egroup: Mobile Technologies \ view thread
Hello all, I'm curious to see how everyone else is implementing Google's new policy of disallowing OAuth2 into Google applications via native web views in their mobile apps. This affects us since we allow users to access their Adelphi Gmail via our mobile app. I'm leaning towards communicating the ...

Hi Tyfanie, At Adelphi University, our Digital Development and User Experience team internally maintains all of our custom web development initiatives. For the last redesign, we partnered with an outside company to do the initial research and development, but once completed, the reins were handed over ...

What are the technical requirements to join in VR? Do you need a headset tethered to a PC, or would an untethered Meta Quest 2 work? Thanks, Scott Finkelstein Manager of Mobile and Web Technologies Digital Development and User Experience Information Technology finkelstein@adelphi.edu / adelphi.edu ...

I haven't done this myself, but have been looking closely at Apple's IMDF standard: https://register.apple.com/resources/imdf/ There is a lot involved in this, such as converting floor plans into GIS Spatial data, and creating a WiFi map of the building by doing a walkthrough while running the IDFM app ...

While it's not really higher ed focused, I would check out This Week in XR, hosted by Charlie Fink, Rony Abovitz (former Magic Leap CEO), and Ted Schilowitz. All three are industry pioneers / experts, and they speak with both established and emerging companies in the XR space. They've got a pretty good ...

I probably used the term "full ownership" incorrectly, but this shouldn't change the relationship between students and the institution, just the mechanism in which earning them is recorded and which students can share them. Any solution that would handle this should absolutely provide a way for the issuer ...

Thank you Jack, imsglobal.org is definitely a great resource. I've also been looking at the WC3 DID and VC specifications which seem to be the standard way to allow students to maintain their full records and identities both on the blockchain and centralized systems. Among other things, one challenge ...

Hi all, I'm currently researching ways that we might leverage blockchain technology at our University to record achievements such as certificates of completion, or (more long term) even degrees. We want to give students the ability to have full ownership over their digital credentials, as well as an ...

Integrating WCOnline

Found In Egroup: Mobile Technologies \ view thread
Hello everyone, We're getting quite a few requests to add our tutor scheduling platform to our mobile app. However, we're finding it difficult since our vendor WCOnline doesn't seem to have a public API. We're also trying to move away from adding web views to our app since it provides an inconsistent ...
