  1. GRASE – ICT U-18iXP, Stimulating Engineering Research and Teaching Learning Collaboration November 4, 2004 Pertemuan Steering Committee Pengembangan Program ICT Perguruan Tinggi

  2. Common Statements • After Termination of a Development Project ? ICT Facility is left behind and no longer sustained • Less support from top management ? • Our Human Resources are not ready ? • We have been already implementing Information System  Only Buying PCs and Building LAN?

  3. Software-Hardware Resource Database Organizing PYRAMID MODEL Concept Underlying Information System Development

  4. Existing Conditions • Local Area Network Infrastructure (Fiber Optic, Wireless LAN, UTP Cable)  100 Mbps • Websites, Management Information System (such as Academic Information System and Library Cataloging and Reservation System)  Most Universities Have Them Running • Congested line to the Internet (128 kbps up to 1 Mbps compared to 100 Mbps LAN)  Slow Connection to the Internet • Less ICT-Based Research and Inter-Campus Academic Interactions  Insufficient Development of Local Contents • ICT Culture in Campus  Growing Demands Result in Less and Less Terminals for Information Access

  5. Proposed Solution • Single Gateway to the Internet Connecting the Universities within two main lands (Sumatera and Kalimantan) • Upgrading the Internet Connection Facility • Upgrading Human Resources and Organizational Functions • Extending the Existing Local Area Network and Terminals • Upgrading Multimedia Content Development Facility • Developing and Sharing Local Contents such as course materials, journals and papers, and inter-library networking

  6. U-18IXP Data Data Client Server Server Client … U-18 U-1 U-18iXP

  7. Proposed Solution • This Internet Exchange Collaboration will involve Eighteen Universities; UNSYIAH, USU, UDA, UMA, UHN, UISU, UNIMED, UNRI, UNAND, UNP, UNSRI, UNILA, UNTAN, UNLAM, UNPAR, UPB, UVAYA, UNJ • Unila (BBS-Unilanet) will initiate to connect to Internet Backbone through one of Satellite covering Asia, distributing the bandwidth to the U-18iXP via Private VSAT Networking • Others will gathered in a private VSAT Networking (e.g. USU – UNILA) and/or wireless connection (e.g. UNIMED to USU) • Members of the U-18iXP together build and share multimedia course materials among others via the Established Network.

  8. Proposed Solution • This idea has been discussed since mid-2003 • Current Active Members: • Universitas Syiahkuala, Banda Aceh • Universitas Sumatera Utara, Medan • Universitas Andalas, Padang • Universitas Riau, Pekanbaru • Universitas Sriwijaya, Palembang • Universitas Lampung, Bandar Lampung • Universitas Tanjung Pura, Pontianak • URL : http://unilanet.unila.ac.id/~u-18ixp • Active Mailing List : u-18ixp@yahoogroups.com • Contacts made : • Asia VSAT Satellite Communication Co. (Taiwan) • Multidata Rancana Prima (Jakarta) • Comments from Library Service via email (Singapore) • Comments from a System Developer (Dutch)

  9. Cost Estimationfor 5 Years Implementation

  10. Benefits • Single Gateway reduced investment and Internet connection cost • An improved and well-maintained system • Collaborative research and Teaching-Learning Process • Outsourcing capacities among the universities • Better Internet Bandwidth • Availability of Local Contents • Local Government will benefit from this scheme through Resource Sharing • Results in Significant Improvement of Quality/Quantity on Research and Graduates

  11. Anticipated Problems and Strategy • Increasing demand on information access terminals and possibility of uncertain policies in ICT development within the university’s management • Huge internet traffics as a result of inter-university collaboration will lead to more bandwidth consumption • Those sustainability questions can be treated through Tripartite Schemeinvolving LocalGovernment, Industry and University

  12. Future Thoughts • Higher educations benefit from Information and Communication Technology given the technology is well-maintained and the support system is well-organized with a strong and robust database system • Fundamental Idea of Information System and the Internet is involving as many parties as possible owing to its community-based characteristic • Networking is the basic of the development of ICT

  13. ACTION PLAN • Build up Strong Policies on ICT Implementation at Each Universities to Support U-18iXP • Strengthening ICT Management • Business Plan on ICT • Assign Dedicated Local Team Work on ICT
