13 What is IT asking for? Item Per Credit Per Semester Per Year 1 Cost to Continue $1.40 $16.77 $ Tegrity 100% $0.16 $1.92 $ Next Gen. Wireless $0.32 $3.87 $ Google Apps $0.08 $0.96 $1.92 Total $1.96 $23.52 $47.04 Classrooms with 50 seats or more. Invest in next generation wireless solution. Services overlapping with Office 365 and Live@EDU disabled. 8% 16% 4% 72% Cost to Continue Tegrity 100% Next Gen. Wireless Google Apps 11/16/

14 What is the Cost to Continue? 1. FY13 NDUS-SLA generates $729,077 in revenue. 2. Refilling some empty positions in order to fulfill our obligations under this SLA. 3. Making some salary adjustments so empty positions can be opened with a salary that will allow us to hire. 4. Total of positions plus adjustments is $422,564. This amount is needed to avoid Reduction in Force (RIF). 11/16/

16 Tegrity: Why? 1. Addition requested by Provost. 2. Departmental visits revealed intense interest from faculty for pedagogical use. 3. More Tegrity enabled courses in Fall 2012 than anticipated. 11/16/

17 Tegrity: What? 1. Instrumentation for classrooms with 50 seats or more (instrument control panel, wireless microphones, camera, pressure mats, etc.) 2. Portable backpacks for non-instrumented classrooms and use outside of regular classrooms (webcam, microphone, backpack) 11/16/

18 Next Generation Wireless: Why? 1. Addition requested by Provost. 2. Intense dissatisfaction from student population with performance of current solution. 3. Current solution is old. Investing in incremental improvements is less cost efficient in the long term than in switching to new technology. 4. Robust wireless is critically important to the all aspects of University life. 5. Demand for, and reliance on, wireless has exploded. This trend will continue. 11/16/

19 Next Generation Wireless: What? 1. Multiple solutions exist. Will select best choice for NDSU. 2. May require RFP. 3. Ideally new solution will use intelligent access points that balance connection requests so no one access point gets overloaded. 4. Will scale better than existing technology. 5. Will offer superior performance. 6. Will last longer than incremental improvements to existing system. 11/16/

20 Google Apps: Why? 1. People will use this, or an equivalent service, whether we sanction it or not. 2. A sanctioned version with a contract vetted by NDSU General Counsel s office is better than letting this remain unmanaged. 3. Integration with NDSU account management and authentication will enhance the service. 4. It is a valuable pedagogical tool. 11/16/

21 Google Apps: What? 1. Docs/Drive 2. Sites 3. Apps Marketplace 4. Moderator 5. YouTube for Schools 11/16/

22 Google Apps: Docs/Drive & Sites 1. Docs/Drive a. Google Docs provides easy online collaboration, editing and security, regardless of students location or what software they own. Students and professors can upload their own existing documents, spreadsheets, presentations, drawings, forms and surveys, or create them within Google Docs. Then, all those files can be easily shared and edited based on permissions set by the file owners. b. 5 GB of online storage, accessible via any web browser, mobile device, or desktop computer. More storage is available for a price. 2. Sites a. Shared workspaces for classes, faculties, and clubs. Allows students and professors to create web sites without writing any code, using hundreds of pre-built templates. Site permissions can be edited by site owners, just as they can with Google Docs. No software is required other than a web browser, and sites work on all operating systems. 11/16/

23 Google Apps: Other 1. Apps Marketplace The apps marketplace has a dedicated education category that will allow NDSU to deploy web apps that integrate with Google Apps for Education. Some of the apps are free and some are not. 2. Moderator Students and professors can create an online discussion series about anything of interest to discuss within a group, class, or school. 3. YouTube for Schools Students and professors will easily be able to host and view videos in an education-centric version of YouTube. 11/16/

24 Other Needs: Infrastructure Replacement Other needs that are not currently funded or being asked of the Technology Fee include, but are not limited to: 1. Network Core 2. Network Edge 3. IACC Electrical & Cooling 4. Backup system Estimated one time cost for above items = $9,638,118 11/16/

25 What is currently funded? 1. Classroom technology and computer labs. 2. Blackboard hardware, software, and FTE. 3. IT Infrastructure 4. Student employees 5.
