While doing this, they obtained a unique perspective on what students want from a university site. In this talk, they present some ideas from this experience that you may not have considered before. 2001-06-25 http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/workshops/webmaster-2001/sessions.html#speaker-4 http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/workshops/webmaster-2001/sessions.html#speaker-4 Australia has undertaken significant reform of its tax system, while at the same time endeavouring to bring government services online. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has been at the forefront of both these initiatives and has been widely seen as a leader in electronic service delivery in the revenue sector. Australia has also established a national framework for the accreditation and use of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), known as Gatekeeper. In 1999-2000 the ATO conceived, developed and deployed a PKI to support the new tax system. This session looks at some of the lessons learnt in that process and discusses the value of a national standards regime and the role of government in encouraging the uptake of electronic service options and at the implications these have for revenue collection and regulatory agencies. 2001-06-25 http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/workshops/webmaster-2001/sessions.html#speaker-5 http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/workshops/webmaster-2001/sessions.html#speaker-5 As the global leader in distance learning, the Open University is in an unusual position to observe the changing trends in online access to higher educational services. In Knowledge Media we are trying to define a new subject which explores the relationship of the semantic web to learning. One of our recent studies has been to connect a mega-university such as the OU with micro universities, like those operations which style themselves as corporate universities. I will give a brief snapshot where we are and how the emerging e-universities at a micro; macro and mega level will change the nature of our business. 2001-06-25 http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/workshops/webmaster-2001/sessions.html#speaker-6 http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/workshops/webmaster-2001/sessions.html#speaker-6 Although electronic marketing on the Internet has been around for several years, until recently there had been minimal uptake within the Higher Education (HE) and Further Education (FE) sector. However the ever pressing need to supplement the funding of services has led to an increasing number of HE and FE institutions (as well as local and central government and other public sector bodies) introducing the hosting of electronic marketing material for 3rd parties (advertising, affiliate links, links to sponsors, etc.) on their Web sites. This talk describes current practice within the HE/FE sector and highlights the associated problems. (This research was carried out as part of a JISC funded study into "Advertising on JANET"). 2001-06-25 http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/workshops/webmaster-2001/sessions.html#speaker-7 http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/workshops/webmaster-2001/sessions.html#speaker-7 The boundaries between mainstream traditional provision of ICT support for institutions and ICT research and development activities are starting to blur. There is a need to capitalise on the strengths of both areas and to ensure that they work in synergy with each other. The Institute for Learning and Research Technology (ILRT) consists of ICT-related externally-funded projects and services, but it is also part of the University's 'mainstream' Information Services division. The talk will outline how at Bristol we are trying to 'join-up' our approach to ICT use and development within the University and will report on the VIOLET project, which exemplifies our approach. 2001-06-25 http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/workshops/webmaster-2001/sessions.html#speaker-8 http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/workshops/webmaster-2001/sessions.html#speaker-8 We put our toes into the waters of Windows Media Broadcasting at last summer's graduation ceremonies. This talk will describe our experiences, confusion, frustration and finally satisfaction at reaching a workable solution for online and on-demand broadcasting of a variety of academic, social, educational and promotional events. A description of our methods and samples of recordings will be presented. 2001-06-25
