3 We had a problem… (Jan 2002) 19982002 Oncourse was succeeding… but ONLY major enterprise System in ASP. All others were in J2EE/AIX/Linux Continue to develop ASP Isolated Development & Sys Admin Team No leverage w/other capabilities Redevelop in J2EE ourselves $$$ License a commercial CMS/LMS $$$ ? Build Buy Decision would set costs/options for many years Build…

4 CMS Requirements are Growing Library Integration Special Character Sets Math/Languages/Sciences Sophisticated Assessment Streaming Multi-media Direct Manipulation User Interfaces Textbook Integration w/ Publishers Oncourse Ongoing Maintenance IMS/SCORM Self-paced Tutorials Research/Committee Support E-Portfolio How will IU meet these growing requirements for Oncourse in a period of flat resources? Workflow Integration/Leverage w/Enterprise Services Greater Personalization Distributed Ed

5 Web Services Unbundle Silos Portal Authentication Personalization Data integration Delegation Unbundled Services LibraryRegistrarCMSSchools

6 Post-PC Future of Mobile Computing Portal Services connect to the Portal and the Portal connects to the evolving plethora of wireless, mobile computing devices headed to campus. Connecting each service is infeasible.

7 IU CMS Strategy Review – May 2002 1. Continue to invest in Oncourse as an IU Enterprise application rather than licensing a commercial CMS package. 2. Direct Oncourse development efforts toward Open Knowledge Initiative architecture compliance. 3. Pursue aggressive integration efforts among IU’s comparative strengths in Oncourse, the OneStart Portal, and Digital Libraries. 4. Develop Oncourse as IU’s lead initiative for mobile device connectivity via the OneStart Portal. “CMS Strategy for Indiana University” Build Standards Integrate

8 “w/Like-minded Partners” 200220032004 Build Decision Joint development Agreement w/uMich Navigo w/ Stanford, uMich Join Open Source Portfolio Initiative Sakai Conceived IU Development Principles Sakai OSPI Grants Kuali Project Financial System Twin Peaks Grant

10 “Community source describes a model for the purposeful coordinating of work in a community. It is based on many of the principles of open source development efforts, but community source efforts rely more explicitly on defined roles, responsibilities, and funded commitments by community members than some open source development models.” …. from www.sakaiproject.org Community Source Projects

11 Creation… Yes …How Extensible? Creating Software Sustaining Software Community Source Projects Partnering Organizations Higher Ed Coordination Open IP Licensing Fees Maintenance Fees Commercial Coordination Closed IP Training? Support? Education? Bundled IP & Support Unbundled IP & Support + Commercial Support Options
