IT/HPCC Academic Senate Retreat August 17, 2010 Challenges faced by the IT/HPCC Discussion Leader: Doug Shook Resource liaison: IleeRhimes
Senate breakout group on IT/HPCC • Key Focus – IT Support for Faculty Research (access to and support for research computing). Instruction (technology available to the faculty in the classrooms). • Lack of IT resources in small academic units. • Minimum standards could/should be set for the research, teaching and administrative needs of the faculty. • A Survey could be used to Inform the Deans of the satisfaction levels of their faculty with IT resources in an absolute manner and a relative manner.
Proposed Activities A Survey should be created which is administered yearly at the academic unit level: • Faculty satisfaction with IT for research needs. • Faculty satisfaction with IT for instruction needs. • Faculty satisfaction with IT for administration needs. Other Concerns: • Systems integration • Data integration • Learning Management System (LMS) / Blackboard • Wireless expansion (continuing) • Quality of IT staffing and support is highly variable • Need better central measurement of IT licenses (a central repository)
