This document discusses Texas Tech University's strategy of distributed autonomy for IT services. Under this model, the central IT division provides common campus-wide services and tools, while individual colleges and departments focus on specialized needs. One example provided is the university's use of the Mediasite lecture capture and video platform. The central IT division maintains the Mediasite server and storage, provides training and support, and grants access. Departments are responsible for equipment, scheduling, and content access. Several scenarios involving student, faculty, and department use of Mediasite are reviewed. Lessons learned focus on change management, collaboration, and content archiving.
The document discusses the history and current state of using information and communication technologies (ICT) in education from 1995 to 2011. It notes that while teacher and student ICT skills and access to technology have increased significantly in that time period, ICT has had only a marginal impact on student learning. The document then covers learning content management systems (LCMS), which integrate authoring, storage, and delivery of digital learning objects (DLOs). It discusses common standards for e-learning technologies, including those developed by organizations like IMS Global, IEEE, ISO, and how they specify elements like data models, bindings, and APIs to ensure interoperability.
E-Learning provides online education support and resources through features like webinars, video conferencing, an online learning management system, 24/7 student support, expert-developed courses divided into chapters, customized study materials, and self-paced learning. Learngstindia.com adopts advanced e-learning strategies to meet changing student needs and learning methods.
This document discusses e-learning and MOOCs. It begins by defining e-learning as using electronic technologies to access education outside a traditional classroom. It then describes the two types of e-learning - synchronous and asynchronous - and discusses learning management systems (LMS), which are software platforms that facilitate online learning. The document also discusses MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), explaining their open access nature, scale, and role in distance learning compared to online college courses. It provides an overview of top MOOC platforms and notes that Turkey's first MOOC application was through the e-university platform in 2013.

resolve the problem
28. Distributed Autonomy
Lessons Learned:
• “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”… we do not ever update Mediasite or add
features during an academic term
• Let someone else find the bugs! We wait to upgrade to major versions and
stay a couple versions behind the latest release
• Follow Sonic Foundry’s example: encourage Mediasite users to work
together and share tips and tricks
• Collaborate with Provost, eLearning, teaching development, and other
academic groups to develop a retention and archive strategy
• When cleaning out unused presentations, someone will decide they want
something back… keep archived content in network storage for a short
time to allow easier restoration
