Research based learning in research based network
- 1. Research based learning in research based networks Ingrid Melve, Uninett CTO BNC: 2010-11-19
- 25. It is when people stop thinking of something as a piece of technology that the thing starts to have its biggest impact. Wheels, wells, books, spectacles were all once wonders of the world; now they are everywhere, and we can't live without them. John Lanchester
Editor's Notes
- Norway: small country, small population, not easy to do high bandwidth We have a tradition for collaboration on ICT solutions in the HEI space, this goes way back. May come from the fact that there as so few of us.
- Uninett never deployed just bandwidth, the Internet was connectivity AND services
- Todays students are "digital natives" who have integrated their life with online tools like MSN, Skype, YouTube and FaceBook. They share as if administrative boundaries did not exist and expect a similar smooth experience during their educational career. An example is the current demand from students for all lectures to be recorded and podcast, to get the learning into their pockets at any time. They feel that is should be easy to share information, share data, and use the Internet for online collaboration. Ingrid's talk will dive into the technological and social trends, the changing ecosystem of online services and its impact on the people we work for and the challenges that university IT is facing. She will present the Norwegian answer to these challenges, a sector wide effort to deploy collaboration technology to all lecturers, researchers and students alike, removing the boundaries for remote participation and online collaboration.
- Postcard from Norwegian students. Many thousands of these were handed over to lecturers in the larger universities. The text goes: Can you spot the change? Different times, same teaching! Time to make a change? The back of the postcard called for podcast, more tutoring, digital learning resources etc

- Hannes Lubich on social media in the TNC2010 opening plenary - students use technology very different from what we provide as a service - if somebody complains about me in ten years time, when I apply for a job, I would not work for them anyway - gen Y and millennials - social networking is here to stay Andrew Cormacks comment: using a firewall to drive a perimeter through individuals’ thought processes is not going to work…
- Who wears a watch? Info available from your cell. Strap unneccessary tech device to your body, and I am sure you can rationalize it. Expectations rule your everyday life Define generation gap, in context of this presentation Context rules Mature is good for cheese, is it good for physics and math? Generation gap in expectations Generation gap in skills and attitude Mobile devices Social media
- Knut enters university University takes away his tools, brand him outlaw University gives him outdated tools University lock his information away from his tools Is Knut working efficiently? We started using it whan we started working
- Technology has escaped from campus, and into the lives and minds of our user population Chad Kainz'convenience: we've made all this stuff seem easy' - a rod for our own back for the forthcoming years? google does it, why can't you? Internet2 : Lots of great advanced technology out there deployed in pockets Great at custom demos that show off incredible bandwidth, high quality video, seemless authentication, … Not so great at making this all available to normal end users at their desks Users often need to become network experts to make all of this work Previous model: we did our work in the network core, now if only campuses and regionals would do their part… New model: joint effort to make technology work end to end
- What is happening today? Do we have enough bandwidth? Security, access and availability Flexibility and cost I seldom ask myself «does the network support research and education?» Values we like: open solution, open source, available, advanced What is likely to happen tomorrow? Compare with immature areas
- What do students expect? Digital natives
- The current draft of the presentation is quite similar to what I presented at TNC2010 in Vilnius - laying out the background of what I believe student/staff expect emphasis on learning and teaching (Guido covers research) - waffle a bit about cloud computing and local IT departments - claim that federated ID is needed for collaboration tools of all kinds ...leaving the details to your presentation - talk about lecture capture and how ubiquitous access to education translates to collaboration tools - sharing is good for you and me and higher ed why do we put web meeting tools in the hands of every student?
- Note that my organizational affiliation is not as visible as you would expect. This is a side effect of the social media, as they are used today.
