IT/HPCC

During the IT/HPCC Academic Senate Retreat on August 17, 2010, Doug Shook led a discussion on the challenges faced by IT/HPCC, focusing on four main areas: access to IT support for faculty research, technology available in classrooms, resource shortages in smaller academic units, and the establishment of minimum standards for research, teaching, and administrative needs. Proposed activities include conducting annual surveys to assess faculty satisfaction regarding IT resources for research, instruction, and administration, alongside addressing issues like systems integration, wireless expansion, and the quality of IT staffing.

  1. IT/HPCC Academic Senate Retreat August 17, 2010 Challenges faced by the IT/HPCC Discussion Leader: Doug Shook Resource liaison: IleeRhimes

  2. 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.

  3. 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)
