The ITS Department at Elizabethtown College will begin using this blog to communicate with our clients. We intend to publish articles several times per week. Majors areas to be included in the blog are: infrastructure, security, media services, teaching and learning technologies, database support, web development, and training resources. It is our hope that this blog format will allow us to get information out in a timely manner. We encourage our readers to comment on the articles.
Let's begin with some great resources for staying up-to-date on technology in higher education. EDUCAUSE is the major professional organization for the support of technology in higher education. They offer a large number of online resources including articles, periodicals, blogs, podcasts and wikis. In addition to being a member of EDUCAUSE, the college also subscribes to publications of the EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research (ECAR). These are invaluable tools in assisting us in making sound decisions regarding IT services and facilities to meet the strategic goals of our faculty, staff and students.
Campus Technology also has a good site and a free monthly magazine. I just returned from their summer conference and will share some of the things I learned in future ITS blog articles.
Lastly, let me point you to the Chronicle of Higher Education's information technology articles. They also have a great blog known as The Wired Campus, that you may wish to subsribe to.
