Eduserv Foundation commented on Digital Natives Run by Digital Immigrants: IT Services are Dead, Long Live IT Services 2.0! Conclusions we are on a roller-coaster in the dark - our eyes need to get used to the dark we might as well get as close to the front as we can so that we can see better and to have more fun but, can only do that within reason because there is a necessary hype-curve gap between those at the bleeding edge and those, like IT services, who need to run real services experiment with what is out there see yourselves as enablers as well as providers 6 months ago
Eduserv Foundation commented on Digital Natives Run by Digital Immigrants: IT Services are Dead, Long Live IT Services 2.0! Slide 10 I hope this presentation hasn’t given the impression of trivialising the issues here universities are complex orgs with complex requirements ensuring high-quality research and teaching, management the scholarly record, dealing with QAA type issues and so on on the other hand, it is not unusual for orgs under threat of disruption by new technology to assume that they are somehow immune Brian suggested that we can "learn to stop worrying about web 2.0". I’m going to suggest more or less the opposite. I think that we need to "learn why we should start worrying" 6 months ago
Eduserv Foundation commented on Digital Natives Run by Digital Immigrants: IT Services are Dead, Long Live IT Services 2.0! Slide 9 least comfortable with this part of the talk shared service agenda in wider public sector we have been pretty good, largely thanks to coordinating role of JISC Athens, Chest, JISCMail, the national data centres, the JANET infrastructure and so on SS and Web 2.0 both result in users going outside the institution to external services to get things done SS driven by the institution Web 2.0 driven by the individual what’s different is who is in control and what the business drivers of the third-party service are Google Apps a good example here could see individuals, departments, or even whole universities outsourcing their email and office provision not just application layer – could outsource storage and compute power as well – Amazon S3 all of which is potentially very disruptive not just to institutions but to current shared service providers like Eduserv and the JISC-funded services 6 months ago
Eduserv Foundation commented on Digital Natives Run by Digital Immigrants: IT Services are Dead, Long Live IT Services 2.0! Slide 8 ...ignores the impact of social networking our community tends to consider ‘content’ in isolation from the ‘social networks’ that need to build around that content what web 2.0 tells us is that building social networks around content is critical – Flickr, Slideshare, YouTube, etc. global concentration works building institutional services prevents social networks forming 6 months ago
Eduserv Foundation commented on Digital Natives Run by Digital Immigrants: IT Services are Dead, Long Live IT Services 2.0! Slide 7 big agenda currently around open access to scholarly material seen most obviously in IR, scholarly publications, the OA movement and the associated political agenda open data – open access to research data of one kind or another re-usable learning objects solutions tend to be institutional – seeing the institution as the natural home for curating and exposing its stuff – though not always - JORUM but… 6 months ago
Eduserv Foundation commented on Digital Natives Run by Digital Immigrants: IT Services are Dead, Long Live IT Services 2.0! Slide 6 at CETIS conference in Birmingham a while ago Ian Stinson talked about the IT services perspective and the UCISA top 10 issues list talked in part about VLEs and how critical they have become to the institution yet… much of the meeting was about how VLEs are not meeting learner’s needs pedagogically PLEs and PREs putting the user in control of the tools they use going out and using external Web 2.0 services drawing the treads beck together internally 6 months ago
Eduserv Foundation commented on Digital Natives Run by Digital Immigrants: IT Services are Dead, Long Live IT Services 2.0! Slide 5 so, I want to briefly touch on 4 themes in remainder of this talk when I blogged the talk I only had three but an extra one seemed to fall out in the wash these themes are some of the things that I see getting talked about a lot in elearning and eresearch circles I hope I’m not teaching my grandmother to such eggs at this point 6 months ago
Eduserv Foundation commented on Digital Natives Run by Digital Immigrants: IT Services are Dead, Long Live IT Services 2.0! Slide 4 to a certain extent… these presentations are from the outside looking in Brian and I have both worked in for IT services but it was some time ago I cut my teeth at the Uni of Bath first job was to connect a Camtec PAD to a GEC X.25 switch hope that brings a useful perspective eduserv charitable mission… working with yourselves 6 months ago
Eduserv Foundation commented on Digital Natives Run by Digital Immigrants: IT Services are Dead, Long Live IT Services 2.0! Slide 3 Wikipedia: “A digital native is a person who has grown up with digital technology such as computers, the Internet, mobile phones and MP3.” is that a useful notion? I don’t think so I am not one – first use of mainframe computer in 78, first email over JANET in 84, and so on JISC study into the Google Generation showed that while ‘young people’ may understand the mechanics of using technology – not nec. to best advantage more useful – see tech as a way of getting a job done vs. being scared of it 6 months ago
