Computing and Information Technologies Planning and Goals (CITPG)

Fall 2003 Report of Activities

Approved on February 9, 2004


 

CITPG met weekly throughout the fall semester of 2003.  Meeting Agendas and Minutes can be found at the CITPG website located at: http://www.ndsu.nodak.edu/ndsu/cpg/.

 

Here are highlights of the semester's activities:

 

The classroom technology subcommittee worked with ITS to solicit input for selecting classrooms and buildings to receive new permanent instrumentation, new technology carts, and personal response systems.  The subcommittee’s recommendations will be presented to CITPG and ITS in the spring semester.

 

CITPG contributed to the Technology Fee Advisory Committee review process.

 

CITPG has formed a task force to identify campus needs for a general purpose UNIX system.

 

CITPG’s cluster subcommittee has recommended that two computer clusters be equipped with locks to determine if this measure will work to control outside interference with classes that meet in the clusters.  The cluster subcommittee also recommended that more be done to track violators of cluster policy and that policies related to computer clusters in the residence halls be evaluated to take into account increased security in these buildings.

 

The CITPG Networking committee presented a report which presented recommendations for configuring a campus wireless network.

 

A task force was formed to explore the pedagogical uses of wireless technology on campus.  The groups primary charge is to look at how wireless could enhance pedagogy at NDSU.  The cluster and classroom subcommittees have also been asked to address similar issues as they apply specifically to those environments.

 

CITPG appointed Joe Latimer to serve on the ITS Help Desk Consultant Search Committee.

 

Tom Moberg presented his ideas for restructuring the campus IT governance structure.  CITPG members provided feedback.

 

CITPG worked with ITS on a number of policy and implementation issues.  These issues included:
