Attendees will learn how this long-standing Xythos customer leverages open standards to provide its campus ecosystem with faster document storage connectivity and access through multiple platforms.

New York Times Knowledge Network

1:00 - 1:25pm

Next Generation of eLearning

Speakers: Dr Ali Jafari of Epsilen; Esther Davies & Peter Eliason of the NYT Knowledge Network

This session will discuss the article published in the October issue of Campus Technology titled "ePortfolios Meet Social Software" and will explore the subject further. As the article suggests, while current eLearning software solutions are designed around a "course" using CMS software, the next generation of the eLearning environment should be framed around individuals and their "ePortfolios". Today individuals are lifelong learners who move between campuses, desire social networking, and prefer a Web 2.0-driven system. Ali Jafari, Peter Eliason, and Esther Davies of The New York Times / Epsilen team will demonstrate the Epsilen Environment and show how it promises to meet the needs of new users while being more cost-effective, as it introduces a new business model solution to campus administrators.

The All-Wireless Campus: How Dartmouth Converged Everything from Vending Machines to HDTV Video Streams over Wireless

Speakers: Brad Noblet, Former CIO, Dartmouth College
Robert Fenstermacher, Global Education Marketing, Aruba Networks

Wireless networking has proven to be a catalyst for a massive shift in delivering network services on campuses. But what can the wireless network reasonably support? How will new services such as voice, surveillance & broadcast video, and building controls be supported if they are all vying for the same resource as data traffic?

Listen to the pioneering former CIO from Dartmouth College discuss the lessons he learned from collapsing many of the college's disparate services over a single wireless network. Understand what new technologies influenced the decision and enabled a new service model at Dartmouth.
