FEEDBACK SESSION: EXPLORING VIRTUAL COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING
2
Goals Programs initially impacted/surveyed: MPS Informatics MPSA
MPSEI, MS GSS, BSIT, BSA, M.Ed Learning Analytics* To support Academic Plans of University 2025 and build excellence within the CPS Analytics & Enterprise Intelligence Domain To enable “Just-for-you” learning, and learning from Anytime, Anywhere, with Anyone To improve the quality of curriculum offering through IT innovation To grow and stay on top with strong technical support for STEM programs and other programs who increasingly adopt new technologies at CPS (e.g. CMN, MS PM, MS DM) *have advanced computing needs also met by this effort but outside within another organizational domain at CPS OBJECTIVES To establish a system that has administrative computing support for teaching To enable students a hands-on training environment To fulfill software/tool needs requested by programs To build an infrastructure, Integrated Computing Environment that supports the needs of coding/ programming courses or courses that need advanced technology platforms as well as human resource support

“ICE” Concept Integrated Computing Environment Problems
Virtual Labs Browser based VM (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud) Specialized software for skill building (HubSpot for CMN ) Providing required tools and training materials within labs Problems Software / tools are not available No computing support for teaching & learning at CPS Tracking computational work progress Taking class time to setup environment Students can’t work collaboratively Limited physical labs Inconsistent approaches - instructor driven Integrated Computing Environment Campus Labs and Servers Computer classroom management (Snell Library, downtown Boston) Servers (GSS) Computing Resources NEU licensed software pool CPS licensed software Free or open source software Teaching & Learning Support Account management Help Desk Teaching Assistants
