The “E” in R&E Networks EDUCAUSE September 2012: “The debate is over: students are asking for digital now, this semester Students are already doing it on their own: • Internet Gaming • Social Media i.e. Facebook, My Space, YouTube, Twitter • Texting • And through other emerging social networking applications and applications yet to be developed.
How Faculty and Students Use R&E Networks Increasingly specialized information Access to expertise at remote locations Multiple learning modalities Access to resources not otherwise available Multicasting/ Video Conferencing/ Distance Education Tablet Computing via Clouds Dynamic Charts On-Demand Local and Remote Lectures Real Time International Collaborations
How R&E Networks Support Teaching and Learning • Low-Latency, Low-Jitter connections • Applications are optimized by R&E networks • Remote instrumentation • Remote Visualization (CAVE-Technology) • Broadcast quality SD, HD and 3D video • CD-quality audio • Robust Distance Learning • Transfer of Large to Extremely Large Data Sets NASA’s Global Hawk CAVE Visible Woman data set provided by the National Institutes of Health Experimental Performing Arts Music Distance Education at Columbia University
Best Practices to Promote Higher Education Collaborations • Reach out and LISTEN to the right people on campus: • CIO or IT staff • Administrators • Academics • Do your homework: find the “lowest hanging fruit” and leverage it • Host an on-campus demonstration focused on disciplines as broad as STEM and Humanities or as narrow as Astronomy and Music • Stay engaged: Post-discussion follow up is critical. Become a coordinator, facilitator, whatever it takes to keep the momentum. Once you get their interest don’t let it wane • Don’t be afraid to suggest topics or take initiative and be sure to propose the next meeting • Keep in mind that faculty are busy people with little time for experimentation. . . • Especially when using R&E Networks since they can only access these networks on campus • Need point and click access • Need information delivered directly to them (Twitter, Facebook, ISTE) • Initially, keep it simple and short (KISS). Start with Video conferencing
