2. Introduction Members of the Presidents executive staff, thank you for having us today. Members of the Presidents executive staff, thank you for having us today. This presentation introduces our proposal for a customized portal. The first two- thirds is focused on answering the first five of seven questions posed to us by the new Technology Director.

3. Introduction (cont.) This is followed by question number six and an actual mock up of the proposed portal, Cranberry. The presentation concludes with a listing of good practice sites and pertinent literature/references in answer to question number seven.

4. Why a customized portal and not just use the university web presence? Why a customized portal and not just use the university web presence?

5. Customized Portal vs. Web Presence At Ellingsburg University we are in the process of revamping our current campus technology systems. As part of this effort our committee has been charged with developing a portal. At Ellingsburg University we are in the process of revamping our current campus technology systems.

6. Customized Portal vs. Web Presence (cont.) Portals facilitate the discovery of people, organizations, and content in a meaningful context. Portals are secure, offering user authentication, credential mapping and sensitive data encryption. Portals are personalized, proactively providing customized desktops based on the users role to the community (Ethridge, Hadden & Smith, 2000, p. 13). Portals facilitate the discovery of people, organizations, and content in a meaningful context. Portals are secure, offering user authentication, credential mapping and sensitive data encryption. Portals are personalized, proactively providing customized desktops based on the users role to the community (Ethridge, Hadden & Smith, 2000, p. 13). If you want to help students succeed, you must involve them in active, personal, and meaningful learning that appropriately supports their development within an inclusive, collegial, and empowering educational community (Harr, 2002, p. 10). If you want to help students succeed, you must involve them in active, personal, and meaningful learning that appropriately supports their development within an inclusive, collegial, and empowering educational community (Harr, 2002, p. 10).

7. Customized Portal vs. Web Presence (cont.) Our task, as student development educators, is to design our systems and procedures in ways that challenge and empower students to learn while providing the appropriate degree and elements of support. In terms of information system design, this would mean front-loading support with easy-to-use tools and directly accessible resources while encouraging students to take an active and self-responsible role in their own educational endeavors (Harr, 2002, p. 10).

In terms of information system design, this would mean front-loading support with easy-to-use tools and directly accessible resources while encouraging students to take an active and self-responsible role in their own educational endeavors (Harr, 2002, p. 10). …we learn that on a typical day, 26 % of college students use some type of instant messenger. These data suggest students are active Internet users, computers are already integrated into their lifestyle and communities, and they are already creating their own virtual campuses (Barratt & Potts, 2002). …we learn that on a typical day, 26 % of college students use some type of instant messenger.

8. Customized Portal vs. Web Presence (cont.) Put simply, an ins1titutions portal is designed to make an individuals web experience more efficient and thereby make the institution as a whole more productive and responsive (Looney & Lyman, 2000). Put simply, an ins1titutions portal is designed to make an individuals web experience more efficient and thereby make the institution as a whole more productive and responsive (Looney & Lyman, 2000). At the most basic level, portals gather a variety of useful information resources into a single, one-stop Web page, helping the user to avoid being overwhelmed by infoglut or feeling lost on the Web (Looney & Lyman, 2000). At the most basic level, portals gather a variety of useful information resources into a single, one-stop Web page, helping the user to avoid being overwhelmed by infoglut or feeling lost on the Web (Looney & Lyman, 2000).

Technology needs to be developed in students affairs in the same way it is developed in other areas of the university community. Not only should the delivery of financial aid applications, admissions applications, housing and registration be done via the Internet, other forms of support for students should be available through this mechanism as well….One advantage of this system is that it is accessible twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week (Blimling & Whitt, 1999, pp.187- 188).

19. Portal Channels (cont.) No two college portals are alike, although most provide a core of common student services. Students typically can register, drop or add courses, look up their grades, and check on what courses they need to complete their degree requirements. Most colleges see Web- based e-mail systems and individual course schedules as other must have portal services, both for students, and faculty members. Beyond offering those basic portal services, colleges can distinguish themselves with extras (Olsen, 2002, p. A32).

20. Recommendations for who (what types of people) should be appointed to detailed planning and implementation teams.

21. People If this portal concept is accepted, we believe that the people who are involved in further planning teams, should be the same people that are then involved in the implementation of the portal. This works towards avoiding gaps in information that can occur between planning and implementation teams.

24. People (cont.) …portals become more mainstream, student affairs professionals need to be involved in the institutional decisions regarding which platform to adopt.

31. Technology-Based Systems (cont.) In providing access to personal information, access to personal university information, campus portals encounter the same risks as other elements of the campus network. Portals face denial of service attacks, Web alteration, fraud, and identity theft. They must also support network-level security, encryption, and session- management, and authentication to safeguard sensitive information and prevent unauthorized access (Eisler, 2003).
