1. Thomas Wischgoll Advanced Visual Data Analysis Portal Replacement Project Thomas Wischgoll

2. Advanced Visual Data Analysis Motivation Luminis portal platform (WINGS) is aging (deployed March 2004) Ellucian’s Liferay portal replacement strategy does not instill much confidence and would require complete rebuild of WINGS Luminis annual license cost is $94K

3. Thomas Wischgoll Advanced Visual Data Analysis New Portal Replace the existing portal (WINGS) with an in-house developed version based on the content management software Drupal Simplify portal with single sign-on, communications, and personalization Faculty feedback on design of new portal more than welcome

4. Thomas Wischgoll Advanced Visual Data Analysis Course Studio This transition would eliminate Course Studio (there will be a transition period) Content from Course Studio could be transitioned into Pilot (CTL may make instructional videos available for assistance) Student body would prefer a unified Learning Management System (Pilot)

5. Thomas Wischgoll Advanced Visual Data Analysis Timeline Beta version of WINGS (Drupal portal): early 2015 Availability of both portals through end of Spring term 2015 Original WINGS portal to go offline end of Spring/Summer 2015 Opportunity to provide feedback throughout entire testing/beta phase

6. Thomas Wischgoll Advanced Visual Data Analysis Advantages Drupal – Open source content management system → cost effective –Simpler, lightweight portal design –Main university web site (wright.edu) already uses Drupal Unified Learning Management System
