Outcomes

Architecting your future

Workshop participants listing

The workshop focused on building a view through a Capability model developed by the HEI community and collaborated and publicized by UCISA UK. It was also a foundation for the EUNIS EA SIG further work to maintain an European wide network to support Enterprise Architecture in HEI sector. Based on the outcome created by the participants during the hands-on session the EA SIG has published a EUNIS HEI Capability Canvas to support the HEI for more interoperability when designing their future digitalization efforts. Joining the newly founded EA SIG is free of charge and the details to join can be found at eunis.org web pages. 

The workshop outcome is documented at the EUNIS EA SIG’s Team Drive as well as the presentations. Additionally we created a visualization of the manual post-it notes and mapped them to the UCISA model. We will call the outcome EUNIS HEI Capability Canvas (now in beta) to have a working name for our efforts. The map can be found here as a PowerBI web version that can be explored and sorted in many ways. Please note that the add-on from the workshop are only mapped and not validated.

EUNIS19 «IT Leaders Forum»

2018 IT Leaders Retreat Results

  • In the last retreat one day was used for presentations and the second day for Design Thinking. Design Thinking: initial discussing around topics to find common ground. Set of solutions as a result.
  • Design Thinking Workshop -approach will be applied probably to issues found through the survey conducted in spring 2019.
  • Ideas welcomed from everyone - feedback needed to plan the next IT Leaders' Retreat.
  • Trying to co-create an answer to what is digitalization. Organizations' digitalization strategies are for the most part not available online; it would be beneficial to compare them.
  • EDUCAUSE is producing a review on digital transformation - input and articles welcome from Europe.
  • There is a paradigm change going on: students moving from one institution to the next, not necessarily choosing schools but choosing countries where to spend some time. Need to have students and researchers to join IT leaders in thinking these.
  • Process mapping / Customer Journey. Design Thinking is putting the customer first. 
  • Student Mobility task force could work on a process mapping workshop with students to identify the phases with which the students have difficulties.
  • Possible area to work on: diversity, inclusion, personal development
  • Supporting different capabilities. Models from the UK available. How to make an organization transform. Enterprise Architecture group could take this up.
  • Need for personal development in change leadership.- how to best lead change
  • States of Change, global initiative focusing on next generation of public innovation, practical guides etc. Focus is not on IT but on the services, IT is only a medium.
  • CIO needs to be the facilitator for change.
  • Wider input on Thurs from the community on what to work on together
  • Håkan presenting what's been done at NTNU in his session. Governance of the digitalization programme covered, and ties to the leadership of the Univ. Transformation of the IT department. Stuck in operations but have to establish a higher set of skills. Less money for operations. Move towards soft IT.

Sigurd Eriksson, Deputy Director General of UNIT

  

  • Next step: how to better integrate between the different services and sectors
  • UNIT has worked on the whole digital student life cycle; application, studies, digital administration and after graduation phases. 
  • National Action Plan for Digitalization presented to the Norwegian. The following areas covered: 

  •  



Peter Wittenburg, IT Leaders' Forum at the UNIT congress

  • Two main strands towards convergence: FAIR principles, FAIR Digital Objects (these are complementary)
  • FAIR principles are not a blueprint for building infrastructures. Need to do more when we want to realise federation of repositories.
  • CoreTrustSeal for assessing repositories quality & performance

Berit Kjeldstad, Director of the Education Quality Division

  • The message of the day has been that it's not about the technology, it is about teaching and learning. User focus!
  • Pedagogical competence valued now more, seen beside research
  • Not mature in the teaching processes, still under development when it comes to teaching excellence
  • Learning Experience platforms: student active learning, mentoring, next gen learning platform, learning resource store, learning material production
  • Digital Transformation Programme at every institution. Success factors listed include increased learning for and throughput of students, less time on administrtaion, custom space infrastructure,  teaches/student support, service design - backstage coordination at the institutional level. Education quality devision and IT devision( ?)

Mariann ( ?)

  • Recognized trends: Sensor technology, AI, robotics, etc. These should produce better growth learning, efficient quality, decision making
  • Deakin Genie: an example of reuse of data, more personalized for the use of student. 
  • Focus on joint projects and what they require. Arbeidsportalen - en samhandlingsplattform
  • Coordinating admission 
  •     

Barbara Wasson, Director at SLATE (Center for the Science of Learning & Technology)

  • SLATE, national research & competence center, was established by Univ. of Bergen and the Ministry of Education in -93
  • Many different perspectives to learning analytics
  • A lot of data important for learning but there is no access to it. How to get this, how to analyze it, how to visualize it.
  • LA enables adaptive learning system. 
  • Predictive models/algorithms are situation dependent. Data literacy - strong need to work here
  • 70% of student accept using data when asked

  • National LA Symposium in October, open for anyone

Panel Discussion - John O'Brien, Raimund Vogl, Barbara Wasson, Berit Kjeldstad

  • John
    • Student experience in European context vs the American Student Success
    • EDUCAUSE TOP 10 IT trends:
      • InfoSec nro 1 for the past 4 years.
      • Privacy a new comer on the list.
      • Half the things relate to data
    • Not making the progress we need to make when it comes to LA; good at gathering data but not as great at using it
    • Leadership: integrative CIO with focus on inst goals and ability to talk about IT as a critical asset
    • Students advocate for the things that we hope to do: they want us to use the data to help them learn.
  • Raimund
    • Open Science in the Action plan a good objective - maybe the most important one of the ones in the Norwegian Action Plan
  • Barbara
    • Students want more feedback. This ties in the assessment process.  We focus on the final exam, but not so much on learning during the courses.
    • Move to digital exams happened because students insisted this
    • Decentralized digital competence in schools. Schools more digital than Univs. 
  • Berit
    • Need to rethink our business model on how we do teaching
  • What we should do to move forward in digitalzation?
    • John: Diversity, Inclusion and Equity the most important
    • Raimund: Senior IT staff co-opeted to certain functions within the Univ. - key factor for success.
    • Barbara: Changes take time, and we often do not give enough time for this
    • Berit: Culture is what has a great impact

IT-Leaders Forum continues in separate session 6.6.2019

  • Main theme of this year EUNIS: Campus for the Future


Keynote: Campus of the future – smart tools and information to support strategic choices, Prof. Alexandra den Heijer, Delft University

Presentation handout (pdf)

  • At the core: what does the user of the future need, what political conditions prevail, which cost structure to follow, what architectural and technological choices to make
  • Vision on the campus of the future
  • Three models for the campus of the future : solid, liquid and gas state as metaphors                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
    • A: traditional university (solid)
    • B: network university (liquid)
    • C: virtual university (gas)
  • Campus management challenges
  • To study at the physical campus is popular among students again, the need to focus and sociality as an examples of drivers 
  • Campus of the future is a study place, a workplace, a meeting place and a social place 
  • We need all the models A&B&C but the balance is shifting
  • Using big data and smart tools
  • Smart tools used to find empty spaces, to share class rooms, find free office workplaces optimizing use of meeting rooms, aligning building use and energy use etc. (source)

   

 



  • More about managing the university campus:


P01: Leadership & management 

IT Strategy in the Era of Digital Transformation: Case Higher Education, Pekka Kähkipuro

View extended abstract

Digital strategy template to replace more traditional IT strategies; a model where digital capabilities provide the underlying structure.

A new approach in target-setting and in the way IT’s direction is defined. Digital capabilities needed to make sure that skills of the entire workforce are up-to-date

Example from Brunel (draft)

  • Q: what about the hard work of implementing the strategy and getting the sponsorship and stakeholders on board early? A: the structure presented here attempts to address this engagement chanllenge, the top-most topics connect to the university-level strategy. You should use the language of the business, research, campus etc people to start a dialogue. Collaborative writing of the strategy at this level is part of the process.




Transformation of IT at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Håkon Alstad

View extended abstract

All IT functions at NTNU were reorganized

Challenges: administrative cuts, more IT needs for education, cost of external work too high, difficulties in recruitment

  • 30 external consultants working for NTNU, this used as a way to meet the high demand of IT experts

How to develop the It function for the needs of NTNU? University merger as a possiblity

Specialized government was done by the operator and the financial government by the economic department → need to consolidate these into the new IT function.

Digitalization programme  with a yearly budget of around 10m€ https://www.ntnu.edu/digital-transformation

Need to transform: Moving 50 man-years of work from IT operations into development activities

Free seating areas utilizing sensors introduced, travel costs cut by 15%, reducing paper

A model to assess the maturity of digital transformation of a University, building on previous frameworks

Strategy, not technology drives digital transformation

Review of models for digital transformation in HEI sector

Presenting a digital maturity grid for universities in relation to the strategy and value (MD4U)

Moving IT resources from management/innovation to governance and digital transformation will lead to the digital transformation and gain competitive advantage over other Univs

Q: has this been tested with universities and what kinds of results emerge? A: currently validating the model and its indicators (roughly 400), next year rolling into testing with universities in e.g. Latin america. The model will be translated into English


 


P02: Learning, teaching & student experience

Seeing the Universities’ digital environment through the eyes of staff and students (Ruth Drysdale)
https://digitalinsights.jisc.ac.uk 

Video: Jisc's digital experience insights service

JISC providing surveys for HEIs, for students and staff, to investigate their insights on the digital environment 

Why is it important to investigate people experience of the digital environment?

  • Get some sense of impact of the return on investment 
  • Enhancing student experience
  • Support decision making
  • Engaging students and staff to the change 

Some finding from the report 2018

  • https://digitalinsights.jisc.ac.uk/our-service/our-reports/ 
  • Students have access and are actively using technology on lectures more than before
  • In the UK a lot of work has to be done regarding health and safety services 
  • Only about half of the students think that digital skills are important for their chosen career 
  • What should be done to improve the student experience? Better access to digital lecture materials and recording, easier access to academic resources, preparing students fro digital learning (meta skills)

Keynote: The State of Digital Ethics in 2019: Excitement, Caution, and Hope, John O’Brien, EDUCAUSE

Digital ethics one of the most important issues going forward

Flurry of information brings with it a worry about the ethics - this is not a novel phenomenon

EDUCAUSE Horizon report 2019

AI is not just technology - it's power, politics, and culture

Half the issues of EDUCAUSE TOP 10 IT list deal with data

Who will lead digital ethics? Government, employees, creative expression, higher education

Lack of representation of women and minorities which is not acceptable. EDUCAUSE has put in place a pledge for CIOs to take measures to improve this

IT-Leaders Forum (continued)

Participants from Norway, Finland, Germany, UK, Spain, 

Tord Tjeldnes, Univ of Agder: member of UH-IT and NUAS-IT

Norway (number of participants in the network of CIO's?)

  • 10 universities
  • 12 university colleges

People brought into the center before technology

IT department is a international department in an university as it may have very many nationalities working as a skilled it experts where as many other departments require local competencies

UH-IT (higher education IT group) consisting of IT leaders and people in similar positions, has a mandate for cooperating and sharing knowledge

Expert committees on research, education, management & support service, and infrastructure & data advice, architecture , and information security & data protection give recommendations to the digitalization board

User groups yet to be formed but recognized as important 

Uninet now handles only the infrastructure side

Digitalization strategy was set by the ministry two years ago (this might not be available in English). The action plan compiled by UNIT (English version will be shared) is a tool for implementing the strategy, and was released earlier this week. It is not just for Unit, but for all Norwegian Univs.

Common services that the IT leaders work together on:

  • One IAM (identity access management system) for the whole of higher education
  • Integration architecture
  • Client operation; desktop as a service worked on and possibly ready in 2-3 years
  • Microsoft licensing. Renewing their PDI-model
  • Businessportal to serve for example nursing students who have internships/working periods included in their studies
  • Tear one services and Office 365 management. There is a forum for these professionals
  • Student system renewal
  • Best practices

BOTT

  • 65% of the sector represented. HR, 

TSD - services for sensitive data. Providing secure e-infrastructure. Tord hopes to make this a national shared service. uio.no/tsd  https://www.uio.no/english/services/it/research/sensitive-data/tsd-video 

Working together on shared services, competing for the best researches

  

Freddy Barstad, NTNU, EUNIS board member

Survey geared for CIOs conducted in spring 2019, 32 respondents

Presentation

The concerns pointed out in the survey are similar than the ones recognized in the US.

IT Security noted as most important at the moment.

There is increased interest in Research Data Management at least in Norway, but this did not score high in the survey. 

Adopting commercial cloud services used to be of high importance in Norway

Badges and micro-credentials not picked up yet, but might increase in importance in the following years

There will be another survey next year, the result of which will be covered in EUNIS2020 congress. Discussion with EDUCAUSE around the results.

IT centralization scored low perhaps because the centralization projects have already been carried out

IT staffing still a critical topic for the industry, and should be in the top 5 topics for CIOs to discuss together. Challenges in

Research Data Management an upcoming thing

Digitalization could include more business related things, like badges and micro-credentials. Perhaps still not individual areas but managing the whole thing.

Pekka Kähkipuro, Univ. of Brunel, EUNIS board member

About the most important topics based on these analysis

Top 5 technical topics 

based on the quite technical themes in the questionaire

IT Security

Digitalization

Research Data Management

Analytics (Learning analytics, Business intelligence / Machine learning)

Student mobility (eAssesment, MOOCs, Badges and microcredentials)

Soft side of digital transformation

based on the discussion about the results: "the new continent on the other side of the sea"

Culture

  • One of the most important road blocks 

Change Management

Legacy management

IT reneval & agility, user centricity, organization  

  • Transformation of the IT organization it self

IT Leadership

Demand management

Broader co-operation

Raimund Vogl, Univ. of Münster, EUNIS board member

ERAI and joint publication on what we should do together. Inviting people to contribute to this.

Good ideas for future IT leaders’ workshops / retreat

Outcomes of the discussion topic for the next IT Leaders’ Retreat.

Survey circulated through the national CIO networks to get more answers and ensure quality.

Action point to formulate these topics a bit further to make them into an article for the EDUCAUSE magazine

The next IT leaders retreat perhaps In Iceland, May 2020? Back-up plan to have it in conjunction with the Rectors’ conference in Malaga 23-24 April 2020

P14: Leadership & management, Learning, teaching & student experience

Guru - Secure Exam Paper Management and Validation (David Molley)
https://gurudevelopments.com

Management: management of physical exam papers

Secure: Maintaining and enhancing security

Validation: Quality process, standards for exam papers 

Examination process a lot more complicated than it seems

→ Guru at the center of all exam management 

  • Front page: generating an exam, external examiner final report, external examiner nomination, analytics, utilities


Cheating Detection: Identifying Fraud in Digital Exams (Bastian Küppers, Julia Opgen-Rhein, Thomas Eifert, Ulrik Schroeder)

Ensuring the same security as with paper exams, problem increasing as BYOD exams are used even more

  • students' devices untrusted platform, more difficult to control

Solutions?

  • In-situ attribution 
    • e.g. identifying the author of the examinations, typing patterns, other patterns of a student 
  • A-posteriori attribution
    • Analysis of the available log data produced during the exam
    • Process mining, wavelet/time series  analysis, author verification 
    • using previous materials of a student to learn patterns of styles etc. 
  • BYOD as a way to enable e-assessment on a broader base 
  • Digital exams cheating detection requires an other type of solutions that paper exams → combination of cheating prevention during and after an exam


Conduction of Exams: Analogous vs. Digital (Bastian Küppers, Thomas Eifert, Ulrik Schroeder)

  • Differences:
    • Preparing and exam: only small differences usually 
    • Conduction: Digital exams improve timing, handling of technicalities, ways of posing and answering questions
    • Grading: improved readability, digital tools for correction, automatical grading / correcting, easier to track grades 
  • Security Threats
