Technology Advisory Council Meeting Minutes - May 7, 2004
Attendees: Bill Takehara, Bob McGowan, Steve Cuddigan, Mike Ross, Kurt Collins, Ramiro DiazGranados, Jason Reimer, Ian Jacobs, Dick Botting, Jim Monaghan, Owen Owens
A motion was made to accept the minutes from April
Subcommittee Report:
Smart Classroom - - The equipment funded by BATS has been ordered and it is now coming in. Installations should be completed by the end of this summer. Michelle Behne will email the Technology Advisory Council a list of all the Smart Classrooms.
Other Items:
Campus email policy concern - Current problem - Allowing students to choose their email addresses with other email providers (ie Hotmail, Earthlink, Yahoo, etc.). Email communication is desirable; however, it becomes difficult because students change their email accounts frequently. The desire is to make it mandatory for every student to have a CSUSB email account. Assigned campus accounts will enable easier campus communication and would also have other advantages. It was recognized that publicizing this policy would be critical. Bob McGowan will form a subcommittee to evaluate how to implement this plan.
It was brought to the committee's attention that a campus-wide printing solution is being implemented. This system will be tied into a network server which will enable students to use their Coyote OneCard to purchase printing, food from Food Services, vending machines, etc. This solution also enables students to have the same log-in with any participating lab. The College of Business and Public Administration has requested some money to purchase a printing solution money machine, which puts money on the student's card/account.
A motion was made for BATS to purchase 2 of the money machines to encode Coyote OneCards for printing. The first machine will go into Jack Brown Hall and the second will go into University Hall. The motion was seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
The switch from Meeting Maker to Calendar Express was postponed. Meeting Maker has lowered its price to $3.00 per seat in exchange for a couple of half day promotions to be held here on campus. It was suggested that there may be a way to read Meeting Maker without a client. More investigation will be done.
The meeting adjourned at 2:20 pm. The next BATS Meeting will be on Friday, May 21, 2004 in PL-002 at 1:00 pm.
