Increasingly, digital ecosystems are infrastructure—
more like common gauge rails than differentiating
features of a university.

Enter Unizin
A University/Member-Owned Service Aimed at Controllingthe Emerging Digital Ecosystem that reflect threeprinciples:
• Digital content, software platforms, and data analytics
(collectively, “Service”) are essential and strategiccapabilities that enable universities’ core mission of
education.
• We have a vested interest in staying in control of our
data, our students, our content, and ourreputation/brand.
• Directing these integrated capabilities as an academy-owned set of loosely coupled services is an importantmeans to protect universities’ interests over time.
Ownership affords control. 8

Unizin Strategy
A University/Member-Owned Service Aimed at Controlling theEmerging Digital Ecosystem
Strategy:
•Approach technology platform decisions as strategic decision, not just feature set comparisons.
• Approach control of digital ecosystem like we approached control ofthe network ecosystem (Leverage the lessons/successes we’ve hadfrom Internet2)
• Favor (demand) loosely coupled ecosystem•
Take advantage of scale and collaboration—aggregate demand andrequirements• Acquire services/technology on favorable terms. Build only where
you must. Invest development in pushing standards and creatingreference implementations.
• Unizin is about synchronizing capital and demands, not about
community development. 9

Learning Management
Canvas
Fall 2014
Start with the LMS…
Unizin selected Instructure’s Canvas LMS as the first service. What wasattractive about Canvas?• Largely open-source. Where it isn’t, they will provide source code in the
event that we part ways.• Aggressively pushing standards-based approaches to tools and data (e.g.,
LTI, common cartridge, caliper). If you want LTI apps, they have the firststore.
• Currently best in class LMS judging by adoption rates
