Introduction: Purpose
Alliance IT Presentations
Notes on tech data: http://etherpad.com/liphea-workshop-tech-data
1. System and Network administration
Sub themes:
network: Local and internet
bandwidth management
Network security and updates
shared resources management (printers etc.)
Notes
Challenges/Issues
Physical and logical network design and management
IT Human Resources (structure, number, team composition and skills)
Inadequate funds & Priority for IT Department
ISP issues (not getting what you are paying for, both bandwidth and support)
Unwieldy procurement systems, aften do not respect specifications
ICT does not fit in either faculty or management, so cannot move the system
everything requires 1-10 letters
some institutions lack of ICT budget is problem, so ICT is borrowing
lack of planning
low prioritization of ICT
some legacy system are broken or dont work well
issues with multiple vendors and tech companies, conflicting
networks sometimes affected more by funds and partners than by planning
lessons learned
donor involvment in system selection and implementation should perhaps be limited? Probably should work as a team.
IT techy people need to better be able to work in the planning realm
ISO certification helps with planning and prioritization of activites
isse tracking systems may help (document and prioritize activtiy, communicate issues and solutions)
opportunities
ITIL (issue tracking system)
Jimma has build user support software
Help desk or issue tracking software
tutorials and end user trainings, FAQs
people and partners with expertise
Jimma
1. e-learning
Sub themes
Challenges/Issues
Learning system (TUSK in Nairobi) is not being used outside of classroom
Accessing systems from a distance is difficult/not always done
lack of dedicated support for setup, ID, maintenance, training
difficult attracting faculty etc. for training
systems are still too complex for users
low number of access points
faculty don't use the systems
being used to distribute course materials, but not much beyond
lessons learned
opportunities
establish e-learning policies, and somehow enforce
people and partners with expertise
roy (MUSPH)
Deborah (Tulane)
ADRC: trainings on moodle and dig lib
ICT Training
issues
pre-computer generation requires significantly more support, over 50%, but trainings are not effective
its getting worse for them as we become more computer centric
software trainings being conducted by IT personnel, simply because it is software
opportunities/priorities
basic applications training (excel, acces,, spss, epiInfo, outlook, powerpoint, office 2007, moodle/elearning, end note,
IT Essentials course (computer driver ed)
include IT
partner with appropriate professionals for software trainings (who will pay them?)
training budgets, perhaps should be built into department budgets
ICT training and consultants (Jimma), angage and train appropriate faculty and profs
Fiber networks
issues
Security, maintenance best practices are still unclear and will be an issue
reliance on external copanines may cause problems
Opporunities
fiber certifications
Teaching (academic progr)
digital libraries and archives
opportunities
egranary
greenstone
HINARI
User support
Software as a service
opportunities
google apps for education
mobile applications
PEPFAR: connectivity first, so focusing on fiber
Engage CITs and other groups working with mobile tech
communication technologies(wireless, LAN, cisco)
End user hardware and software support
web application administratrion
mainly e-learning systems
nairobi deveoping a custom system
system design
knowledge management
Procurement, contracts maintenance
Sub themes:
