IT+policies

=Policies that should should guide the provision of IT services=


 * The content and applications users create should belong to them and be under their control.
 * The content and applications users create should remain available and under their control after retirement or graduation.
 * The content and applications users create should be readily exportable.
 * The content and applications users create should be accessible using application program interfaces where feasible.
 * The content and applications users create should be visible on the Internet and licensed under an appropriate Creative Commons or other open license.
 * Message traffic like email should not be open, but should be persistent and under user control.
 * Hosting and applications might be on a campus, in the Chancellor's Office or outsourced to another organization (like Amazon, Google, IBM, Oracle, etc)
 * As an alternative to providing services to faculty, individual faculty could be provided with budgets to use in procuring outside services of their choice -- this would particularly make sense in the case of new or somewhat experimental services.
 * A long term goal -- transparent capture of everything that happens during a class session. For example, automatic generation of transcripts of lectures and discussions without the instructor or students being aware that a recording was being made. (Georgia Tech had a project with this general goal -- they also assumed students had networked tablets as I recall).
