Requires Robust Network
Application Virtualization (licensing issues)
Support
Could help shift costs
BYOD

Numerous possibilities for driving efficiencies
Data centers, storage, applications (SaaS), managed processes
Speed to implementation superior
Lower up front costs. Longer term cost savings are questionable
Security issues still operative
Cloud/Virtual Services
![Page 7: Presented at the IT Forum Jerry DeSanto, Ed.D. VP For Planning and CIO, University of Scranton September 19, 2013 Strategic Higher Education Information](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102923/5519fd7b55034619378b47a9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Institutions sitting on huge repositories of unleveraged data assets
What questions need to be answered
Data driven decision-making
Data as a competitive tool
Big Data/Business Intelligence
![Page 8: Presented at the IT Forum Jerry DeSanto, Ed.D. VP For Planning and CIO, University of Scranton September 19, 2013 Strategic Higher Education Information](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102923/5519fd7b55034619378b47a9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Despite the wide-spread adoption of ERP systems many institutions still cling to inefficient processes
BPI can both save money and improve customer services
CRM systems (many cloud based) are being implemented at many institutions, including Scranton
Many contend that this area could represent IT’s greatest contribution
Business Process Improvement (BPI)

How do MOOCs Happen?

Small Class Sizes
Instructor Engagement
Instructor/Peer Learning
Assessments Graded
Pay Tuition/Fees $$$
Credit/Credential Earned
High Completion Rate
Part of Accredited Offerings by Specific Institution
On-Line vs. MOOCs
Enormous Class Sizes
Instructor(s) Monitoring (with help)
Collaborative Learning
Self/Peer Assessments dominate
No or Very Low Cost $$$
Credit/Credential—very few examples to date
Very Low Completion Rate (< 10%)
Generally not Part of Accredited Degree Program
On-Line MOOCs
![Page 17: Presented at the IT Forum Jerry DeSanto, Ed.D. VP For Planning and CIO, University of Scranton September 19, 2013 Strategic Higher Education Information](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102923/5519fd7b55034619378b47a9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Distributed Global Learning for the Masses
Access at No/Little Cost Casual Intellectual Enrichment Faculty/Institution Prestige Factor
—Enhancing Brand and Reach Perhaps a stalking horse for some Rich Data Mining
MOOC Advantages
![Page 18: Presented at the IT Forum Jerry DeSanto, Ed.D. VP For Planning and CIO, University of Scranton September 19, 2013 Strategic Higher Education Information](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102923/5519fd7b55034619378b47a9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Absent Viable Financial Model (who is going to pay for development and infrastructure?) Future Advertising Model?
Validity--Given the Low Completion Rates
Credentials, Credentials (which schools will recognize successful completion?) Students want credentials!!
Can the Credit(s) count toward traditional degree programs?
Accreditors?? How do we assess?
MOOC Challenges
![Page 19: Presented at the IT Forum Jerry DeSanto, Ed.D. VP For Planning and CIO, University of Scranton September 19, 2013 Strategic Higher Education Information](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102923/5519fd7b55034619378b47a9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Partnership between Google and edX-------------MOOC.org
120,000 Students sign up for MOOC focused on unleashing student creative talents (Coursera and PSU)
Some faculty are withdrawing their MOOC’s out of concern that states will decide to reduce higher education funding
Latest Developments

Convergence of On-Line Service Enablers
Institutions’ On-Line Service Needs
LMS Providers such as Blackboard,Desire to Learn, Canvas, Moodle, etc.
MOOC Providers such as Coursera,Udacity, edX, etc.
On-Line Facilitatorssuch as Deltak, Bisk,Pearson, etc.

On-Line Education is Destined to Grow. Most Universities are Struggling with their
Overall On-Line Strategy
![Page 22: Presented at the IT Forum Jerry DeSanto, Ed.D. VP For Planning and CIO, University of Scranton September 19, 2013 Strategic Higher Education Information](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102923/5519fd7b55034619378b47a9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What is Most Likely, is the Continued Evolution of a Hybrid/Blended Model of Education that Utilizes Combinations of Classroom, On-Line, and Experiential/Innovative Learning
![Page 23: Presented at the IT Forum Jerry DeSanto, Ed.D. VP For Planning and CIO, University of Scranton September 19, 2013 Strategic Higher Education Information](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102923/5519fd7b55034619378b47a9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
MOOCs may play a role in this evolution, but are unlikely to permanently change educational paradigms. “One Spice on a Spice Rack..” Brian Voss, AGB

Institutions will come to decide how extensively they will embrace the Hybrid/Blended Model and MOOCs based on Mission, Size, Finances, Market Pressures, and Preferences
