Cloud Computing:

A Public and Private place to Access Unlimited Academic Possibilities

This page will open up to music and video clips 1The Rise of Cloud Computing

In 1965, Executive from Western Union articulated the company's ambitious plan to create "a nationwide information utility, which will enable subscribers to obtain, economically, efficiently, immediately, the required information flow to facilitate the conduct of business and other affairs.

In the Mid 1990s Stanford graduate Stephen Herrod and other classmates wanted to address a major problem that plagued the IT industry: most servers operating at a tenth of their capacity. Amazon EC2: Jeff Bezos was the lead thinkerGoogle App Engine: Page and Brin were the lead thinkersMicrosoft: Azure Bill Gates was the lead thinker

What is Cloud Computing?Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.

Originally, cloud computing was intended to serve audiences such as: governments, corporations, educational organizations, Healthcare Industry and many other companies are utilizing cloud computing services.

How can the Cloud benefit your College? Software as a service (SaaS)I may create an interactive slide that has snippets of video 4Benefits of the Cloud for StudentsSoftware applications and other online resources are available for use by multiple users via the Internet.Students hardware requirements are lower.Reduces cost to access education for students.Ensures students are able to access and run course software regardless of their location or computer processing power.Provides access to education for students in remote and rural areas.Offers students flexibility by enrolling in online learning programs.

This slide will be film that illustrates students on campus utilizing DE courses with cloud computing services.5

Benefits for your Community College

Expand online academic program offerings.Enhanced usefulness of existing technology.Older computers can remain useful for longer periods of time.Installing software or repairing errors can be done centrally at the server level by college Information Technology department.Reduction in college Information Technology budgets.This distributed management system will assist support staff with efficiencies which will reduce workload.By offering more online courses more classroom space will be available.

Cloud Computing Adoption and Position projections across typical user groupsInsert the first cloud video here10

Innovators and early adopters:President of the collegeVice President of Student ServicesVice President of Academic Affairs

Strategies to pursue AdoptionRelative advantage: Decrease Information Technology costs, anytime and anywhere access, cost based on usage, expand online course programming, and be viewed with innovator statusCompatibility: provide full service access for students in rural and remote areasTrialability: have the option to try cloud services for software as a service (student email, etc.)Visibility: Allows initial non-adopters to see how the cloud can be easily used and maintained

Insert the first cloud video here11

Laggards are those employees that are resistant to any type of change regardless of the innovation, and those employees that feel their job may be eliminated because of the lack of need for IT staff

Compatibility: provide full service access for employees from any distant locationTrialability: have the option to try cloud services for software as a service (access work email and documents from anywhere)Visibility: Allows laggards to see how the cloud can be easily used and maintained

Combined Attributes to Meet Critical Mass in Higher Education

Relative Advantage: Focus on economic and academic advantages

Compatibility: College mission : focus on our mission to cut spending and offer more expansive distance education programming

Trialability: Ability to try to services for students and the campus

Visibility: focus on the fiscal savings and benefits from both lower IT costs and additional revenue from distance education programming.Ease of use and seamless transition
