  1. Supporting the Complete Learning LifeCycle The Next Generation of On-Line Learning Support Systems at the University of Michigan Future Learning Environments Presentation April 10, 2002

  2. The Next Generation • What we’ve done – the success of CT, WT • What’s the context – increasing adoption, PIRC • Where we’re going – what an NG system would look like, what vision it entails • How will we get there – standards (OKI, Apache, …), CHEF Technology, open source, support for transition

  11. The Next Generation • What we’ve done – the success of CT, WT • What’s the context –increasing adoption, success, PIRC –President’s Info Revolution Commission • Where we’re going – what an NG system would look like, what vision it entails • How will we get there – standards (OKI, Apache, …), CHEF Technology, open source

  12. PIRC – Information Revolution at UM The University in a Changing Information Environment Never has the need been more pressing for the University of Michigan to examine its relationship to information and communication technologies. The information revolution that is radically altering our whole world at an ever-accelerating pace touches every aspect of university life. http://www.umich.edu/pres/inforev/

  13. PIRC – Encourage Experimentation An “Ecology of Experimentation” The key is to experiment in a systematic fashion, coordinating and exchanging information across the institution, and in the process transforming the University into a living laboratory.

  14. PIRC - Raise all boats University-wide Approach A university-wide, across-the-curriculum approach is needed, providing faculty with the support they need and offering all students opportunities to use the state-of-the-art technology in education enhancing ways while at the same time learning to think critically about the implications of the information revolution…

  15. PIRC – Knowledge Networks Knowledge Networks Research and scholarship are increasingly interdisciplinary, collaborative efforts. The Internet and new information and communication technologies are enhancing — and transforming — research and scholarship, enabling users scattered throughout the world to share facilities, instruments, immense collections of multimedia information, and tools for analysis and synthesis.

  16. PIRC – Knowledge Networks,Build and study them here Over the past decade, the University of Michigan has played a key role in designing, developing, and applying knowledge networks. The University should continue to pioneer by further developing knowledge networking technology, exploring innovative uses for it, and studying its impact on the way we work and learn. Building Knowledge Networks

  17. The Next Generation • What we’ve done – the success of CT, WT • What’s the context –increasing adoption, PIRC • Where we’re going – what an NG system would look like, what vision it entails • How will we get there – standards (OKI, Apache, …), CHEF Technology, open source

  18. Support for Learning Lifecycle • Teaching, Learning • Research, collaboration with colleagues • Making it easy to move from one to the other Goal: Integration of research, the practice of knowledge work, within education

  19. Enhancing Distributed Learning –Continuing to move forward • Building on current functionality – CT, WT, Lessons • Support for what users need • Group support • E-portfolio • Case-based tools • Grading, reporting • Integration • Library resources • printing

  20. Knowledge Networks Vision • Open systems – in all senses • Open source, build community of support • Open to custom components, cots, fots • Open to all users • Enabling core competency at University • Teaching/learning, research • Supporting early adopters • Experimenting at low cost • Encouraging everyone – raising all boats • Leading – we discover we are already – CT/WT • OKI, JetSpeed, IMS/SCORM (RDF, runtime teamlets)

  21. The Next Generation • What we’ve done – the success of CT, WT • What’s the context – increasing adoption, PIRC • Where we’re going – what an NG system would look like, what vision it entails • How will we get there – standards (OKI, Apache, …), CHEF Technology, open source, support for transition

  22. Why adopt CHEF open source – code, tools, developer community configurability/customiz-ability - users, admin centralization/decentralization of services as appropriate aggregation - rss, html, xml - syndication prototype rapidly Why retire Domino proprietary rather closed not as easy adding features no community of developers finding expertise hard but, has been good to us Choices in Platform

  26. Support for Transition • Continuing support for CT, natch • Advance notice of timelines • Input from users - faculty, students, staff, and other developers - as we go along • Transition support as we go along, • Media Union staff • Online info, notices of NG development

  27. Transition - CT.NG looks like CT Design criteria: A user familiar with CT should be able to easily use CT.NG. Interfaces should be recognizable. Actions should be similar. New features should be integrated into familiar frameworks.
