  1. A managed, cost effective ICT environment for schools... School Technology Architecture and Resources

  2. Innovative ICT in schools.... Learning Material Sharing Cloud Computing Online Spaces Video Streaming in the Classroom Blogs Learning through gaming Blackberries Wikis Open Learning Spaces Interactive Whiteboards iPhone Ultranet Ultra Mobile PC’s 1-1 Devices Video Conferencing Learning Content Management Systems Cross School Collaboration Instant Messaging Podcasting Green Screen Technology

  3. Cloud Computing Technologies Available Today

  4. Today, ICT in Victorian schools is... • Becoming mobile • Converging on the cloud • Becoming more affordable As these trends continue, ICT devices could be on school booklists in the next 1-3 years.

  5. Today's challenges in supporting ICT in the classroom environment • Increased use and reliance on ICT. • Increased computer-student ratio (1:5 – 1:2 – 1:1 – 2:1). • Increased demand for services. • Increased expectation of wireless technology. • At this stage – no major change to our ICT support systems

  6. The challenges of ICT from a school perspective.. In the right corner – support, management, maintenance, $$$ In the left corner – innovation, eLearning, new e-curriculum delivery models

  7. Efficiency? 1600 different school curric network solutions = little/no economy of scale in technical solutions = potential for overworked technicians = an inefficient system for future ICT service delivery

  8. Purpose of eduSTAR Develop, pilot and measure the benefit of technology based models for the implementation of a managed, cost effective ICT environment in schools. Implemented in a sample of 10 schools by August 2009

  9. Business Requirements Enable Provide Enhance

  10. Architecture Framework Managed Operating Environment

  11. eduSTAR Lite Progress to date – The first steps towards a MOE • eduSTAR for Mobile Devices • Teacher R61 (all models) • Teacher R500 • NetBooks (Acer AspireOne and Lenovo S9/S10) • 25 standard applications (Office, Encarta etc.) • Setup and configuration tool • Self restore • Build MOE

  12. Mobile Device Configuration Tool

  13. What do our schools want? Ready, easy access to my files Ready, easy access to applications and research material Share my work with others Collaborate with others inside and outside my school

  14. Managed Operating Environment Other applications

  15. DEECD Central Office eduSTAR v1 Enterprise Level Management Environment • Central Software Distribution • Results • Inventory • Reporting (Central and School Level) School eduSTAR v1 School Level Management Environment School ICT Progression Strategy Phase 2

  16. Managed Operating Environment OS Core Apps Patches Anti Virus Policies Accounts Web Apps OCS EduMail School Perspective

  17. Technology Base

  18. Today's Demonstration of a School ICT Environment

  19. Standardise • Start Menu • Favourites (Users can additionally add their own) • User Experience (Log-on, log-off, web browser, 25 core apps) • Desktop • Single Sign On

  20. Manage • OS Deployment (Unified approach to desktop deployment) • Application Installation and Inventory (State-wide and school level distribution) • Application Virtualisation • PC rollouts (deployment and inventory) • Patching

  21. Monitor • Server Health Status (Up/Down, % Free Disk, CPU utilisation etc.) • Email warnings and incidents to TSSP Technicians • Software Inventory (how many schools are using inspiration?) • Asset intelligence.

  22. Empower • School ICT Support Staff to: • Add school software • Change passwords • Customise school settings • All users • Self service password reset • Self restore machines

  23. Demonstrations • School computer – Student / Staff Experience (XP and Vista) • Log-on • Drives • My Docs • Apps • Teacher – Student password reset • School technician – Console • School technician – Application rollout (QuickVic) • School technician – DER Machine Rollout • Central office – Software and Hardware inventory

  24. Next Steps • KPMG – Benchmark schools prior to eduSTAR MOE • Install eduSTAR MOE on curric, rebuild network. • Leave in place for Apr, May, ½ June • KPMG – Perform after benchmark in late June, early July. • Cost benefit analysis  Business Case for further implementation

  25. The Config Manager Console

  26. Computer Management

  27. Collections – a config manager term for “group of computers or users”

  28. Software Distribution (Packages and Advertisements) Target software or OS deployment to a collection

  29. OS Deployment

  30. Other features that we will explore • Software updates • Software metering • Asset Intelligence and Inventory • Reporting
