"A UCI graduate should be prepared to survive and prosper in the electronic information era." --Chancellor Laurel Wilkening, UC Irvine
To match this vision, the efforts needed to develop and sustain the Electronic Education Environment (EEE) require broad campus participation. While the faculty has the primary responsibility for creating an Electronic Education Environment by infusing and integrating educational content into the electronic environment, both faculty and students rely on services provided by the Registrar, the Libraries, and the Office of Academic Computing.
Although these three organizations have distinct operational responsibilities and their own orientations, EEE presents many shared challenges and opportunities. Shared concerns argue for a coordinated, even collaborative approach to matters such as authentication, privacy, security, policies, legal concerns, access to services, and simplicity/uniformity in presentation of services to students, faculty, and staff.
At UCI, collaboration among the Registrar, Libraries, and Office of Academic Computing antedates even the articulation of the campus vision given above. That vision and its articulation, however, have given us a new framework for our interactions. This session reports from multiple perspectives on work-in-progress in the expectation and hope that sharing our experiences (what worked out and what still needs work) will encourage others to do likewise.
