I believe that the documents Paul Juell was referring
to in yesterday's meeting are referred to in the "2000-01 Annual Report of
CPG Activities" to the University Senate. I have listed those that were
posted to the Web below:
Subcommittee Reports, 2001:
CPG Cluster and Classroom Technology Subcommittee
http://www.ndsu.nodak.edu/ndsu/cpg/reports/subreports/cluster01.htm
Computer Planning & Goals Distance Access Subcommittee
http://www.ndsu.nodak.edu/ndsu/cpg/reports/subreports/distance01.htm
Subcommittee on Internet User Needs

CPG Networking Sub-Committee
http://www.ndsu.nodak.edu/ndsu/cpg/reports/subreports/networking01.htm
Another of the documents refereed to in yesterday's discussion regarding
planning is a document that a few CITPG members plus a few faculty who were
interested but not CITPG members worked on with the Technology Enhanced
Learning Committee of the University Senate (TEL) at the request of the
Information Technology Roundtable. The TEL did the first draft under Nancy
Olson's leadership, and fine-tuning was done by the select group of CITPG and
several interested faculty mebers.
NDSU INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY VISIONS
Approved by NDSU President's Cabinet on
NDSU Vision
http://its.ndsu.nodak.edu/about/vision.shtml
The last document is visionary while the subcommittee
reports are tactical. More abstracts of tactical work are described below.
Chronologically, with the most recent first, here are the "planning"
activities CITPG has done and transmitted to Senate:
2003-04 Annual Report of Activities :
Provided feedback on the CIO’s IT Governance Reorganization Plan
2002-03 Annual Report of Activities:
CITPG formed a Desktop Standards Task Force to develop a desktop standard for
campus computers. The task force has met frequently and held two open forums in
March to solicit input from the campus community. The task force has developed
a preliminary set of standards and is now working on a plan to pilot the
standards with new faculty in the fall of 2003. The task force is also
conducting a survey of campus computers; the survey should be completed by the
end of the summer.
CITPG worked with the Videoconferencing at NDSU committee to develop a plan to
implement videoconferencing on campus.
CITPG has worked with ITS and other campus groups to develop the IT Plan to be
submitted as part of the University’s budget.
2001-02 Annual Report of CITPG Activities
CITPG was involved in the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) decision process.
At the request of Grant Crawford, the NDUS CIO, CITPG surveyed faculty and
staff from the entire NDUS system
CITPG consulted with ITS regarding the development of
a campus IT security plan. The development of this plan is ongoing.
CITPG has worked with ITS and other campus groups to develop the IT Plan to be
submitted as part of the University’s budget.
2000-01 Annual Report of CPG Activities
ITS developed and CPG agreed with a plan that upgraded the campus modem pool by
Spring 2001.
Long-term plans for the Networking, Cluster and Classroom Technology, and
Distance Access subcommittees were updated, and the Internet Users Needs
subcommittee developed its first plan. These are the specialty committees of
CPG that make detailed recommendations to inform CPG, ITS and other campus
information technology decision makers about appropriate directions that campus
needs to take with regards to information technology that supports the academic
mission of the campus. Those detailed reports are attached. Because the plans
themselves are general, they do not lend themselves to abstracting. You are
urged to read each for specific details.
