Why CampusEAI? Shared repository of information and code Centralized support Consortium approach Higher education focus Grant equipment licensing Help on project implementation Shared repository of information and code Support grant to cover license Deployment help Cost CampusEAI grant Oracle
16
Community source model Strengths, weaknesses, challenges and opportunities
17
Open Source (+) Flexibility Control (-) Resource intensive Lacking support Vendor Product (+) Support Contract Service Agreement “Best Practice” Industry experts (-) Cost Lack of control and flexibility Community Source
18
Strengths Shared work, expertise, ideas Understanding institutional needs better than outside vendors Central organization for coordination and support Embedded community culture (i.e., education)
19
Weaknesses Lack of consistent coding standards and development methods Communication (time, distance, tools) Bottlenecks with central organization (communication flow, QA of portlets) Leadership over a “herd of cats”
20
Challenges Disparity in portal goals and requirements among members Managing growth of Consortium to reach out to new members, support existing members, and maintain the consortium itself Creating a common purpose among members that elicits participation
21
Opportunities Better tools for collaboration and communication Code sharing Expertise sharing Determination and application of standards Economies of scale regarding portlet solutions Getting beyond the technology
22
Collaborative development Approaches, successes and challenges
23
Approaches Organic –Members would freely share portlets in the central depository. Minimally successful Centers of excellence –Members with common systems and goals write requirements and develop/test portlets Informal institution-to-institution connections –Valuable. Critical for immediate institutions, but inefficient for the community Community development center –Better tools for sharing code, collaborating and communicating
25
Successes UM customization portlets University of Portland Exchange portlet Temple’s Mirapoint e-mail portlet Single sign-on CampusEAI login portlet Training and whitepapers
26
