The Vision for Kuali Student Presentation Presented by Richard Spencer, Senior IT Strategist, at The e-Strategy Town Hall 2007
UBC is playing a leading role in the development of Kuali Student, a next generation, open source, student system being developed using the community source process. The new system will build on the strengths of the current SIS, with an even stronger focus on the end user.
A “concierge” application will help students make choices and achieve their goals. New high level entities will make it easier to support new approaches to teaching and learning. A service-oriented architecture, with work flow and rules engines, will make it easier to support new and different ways of doing things.
The vision for Kuali Student is a student system that makes it easier for students, faculty and staff to do their work and achieve their goals at UBC.
Opportunities and Challenges for New Administrative Systems Presentation Presented by Richard Spencer, Senior IT Strategist, at CANHEIT 2007
After 50 years of exponential growth in the power and capacity of systems and networks, we can build user-centric administrative systems that anticipate the needs of users, and help them plan and achieve their goals. New high level entities, the use of rules and workflow engines, and a service oriented architecture make possible flexible, scalable, systems that make it easier to innovate and change activities, programs and processes. Kuali Student will be used to illustrate some opportunities in administrative system development, and some of the challenges we face in building and implementing new systems.
