NITLE's managed technology services offer promising approaches to supporting teaching, learning, and organizational effectiveness at undergraduate-centered colleges and universities. A key element in the development of these services and projects is the user community meeting, which enables participating campuses to build peer-to-peer networks for collaboration, information exchange, and shared learning, and to synchronize their efforts to use technology to promote a shared educational mission. Information about all of our user community meetings can be found in our program calendar.
Participating colleges can select from a variety of options that will allow them to see, talk to, and work with colleagues who may be off-campus or at partner institutions and organizations. Our Multipoint Interactive Videoconferencing (MIV) services offer "seats" in a virtual room--or multiple rooms--reserved for the enrolled institution's use. Using MIV, individuals connect with each other directly from their computer desktops, using web-based video and audio, a shared whiteboard, chat, and application-sharing to communicate, interact, and collaborate across distance. Find out more about MIV and our service options, or go directly to our online enrollment forms for our Basic MIV Service or Enhanced MIV Service.
Participating colleges interested in open-source, managed institutional repository services can enroll in our DSpace Services, designed for smaller colleges and universities and the non-profit organizations that serve them. As a fully managed service, DSpace Services allow campuses to start and grow their digital repositories with a minimal level of investment, with no hardware to purchase and very little application support expertise to develop. Campuses focus on the work of building digital repositories within the context of a community of campuses sharing ideas and best practices. Learn more about our DSpace Standard and Customized Services or go directly to our online enrollment form.
Participating colleges interested in open-source collaboration and learning management systems can enroll in our managed Moodle services--designed for smaller colleges and universities and the non-profit organizations that serve them--at a level appropriate to their needs. Campuses can use our services to test-drive Moodle, provide integrated support for campus courses, or foster inter-institutional collaboration with off-campus partners. Find out more about our managed Moodle services, review the details for available plans, or go directly to the online enrollment form.
Participating colleges interested in open-source collaboration and learning management systems also have the option of enrolling in our Sakai managed services. Like Moodle, Sakai is a learner-centered, open-source course management system. Sakai offers faculty and students a rich, user-friendly interface, online help, and a wide variety of interactive tools to support teaching, learning, and collaboration. Sakai also includes the Open Source Portfolio, a set of tools that enables campuses and individuals to assemble and publish online e-portfolios of their work. Find out more about our managed Sakai services, review the details for available plans, or go directly to the online enrollment form.
