Distributed Learning Environments briefing paper
Briefing paper: Assessing the Business Case for Standards, an introduction for strategy and resourcing committees. Cloud Computing Briefing Paper Technology change in higher and further education - a service oriented approach JISC CETIS Informal Horizon Scan - March 2009 |
Cloud ComputingCloud computing is changing the way IT resources are utilised and has the potential to transform traditional server infrastructure into a dynamic environment where new applications are delivered via the internet and institutions’ IT complexity and cost are reduced. However, there are significant hurdles to widespread adoption, including legal, compliance, data security and political issues. In this section, we would like to share some thoughts and reflections on this topic through a number of CETIS people's blogs and to explore the growing impact of cloud computing for educational use within institutions. There are currently two general JISC funded research projects in this area, Technical Review of Cloud Computing for Research and Review of the Environmental and Organisational Implications of Cloud Computing in Higher and Further Education.

Yes, actually there is a document called “Open Source, Open Standards and ReUse: Government Action Plan“. This is the latest (Jan 27th 2010) statement from central government on the topic; previously an Open Source policy was hatched in 2004.
Really the document should be called “Open Source in ICT Procurement: Government Action Plan” as Open Standards [...]

A new JISC briefing paper, entitled “What is Flexible Service Delivery?” has just been published. If software as a service, cloud computing or service oriented approaches to more flexible and fit-for-purpose institutional IT is of interest to you, I recommend you take a look at the briefing.

data.gov.uk - a portal for UK governmental open data - is clearly a fantastic idea, and has the makings of a real treasure trove. But estimating how far it is in practice, means picking up a stick and poking the beast.
Which data
What it’s all about. To my unscientific eyeballing, the existence of most every dataset [...]
