3:30 PM - 5 PM

Point-Counterpoint Discussion on IT Support for Collaboration on Campus and
eLearning

        Point: Centrally provided services (applications, infrastructure, and
        middleware) are essential to supporting technology enhanced
        collaboration, teaching, and learning and should be a role for central
        IT organizations.  (Dennis M Maloney leads)

        Counterpoint: Technology enhanced learning and collaboration in both
        teaching and research are idiosyncratic activities.  Central IT cannot
        effectively provide common, shared services (applications,
        infrastructure, and middleware) to support the diversity of efforts in
        these areas and we should not adopt providing such services as one of
        our roles. (Joel Smith leads)
