This page provides details for the workshop session on
"Using your Ayes and Noes: Creating a Business Case for an Institutional Portal".
- Title:
- Using your Ayes and Noes: Creating a Business Case for an Institutional Portal
- Facilitator:
- Bo Middleton,
University Of Leeds
- Abstract:
- Considering implementing an institutional portal but confused by some who
say 'Aye' and others who say 'No'?
An institutional portal is intended to provide a seamless, Web-based interface
to a range of systems and services, potentially offering a customised and
personalised Web environment for staff and students. A good idea maybe - but the
days when a good idea was enough to convince are long gone; new projects need
SMART objectives to progress. This session will provide an overview of creating
a business case for an institutional portal using experiences from the
University of Leeds and group discussion.
- Learning Outcomes:
- At the end of the session participants will be able to:
- Identify types of Ayes and Noes and methods of getting feedback from them
- Identify the cases for and against an institutional portal
- Identify counter arguments for the Noes
- Identify appropriate methods for collecting evidence to support the Ayes
- Room Requirements:
- PC, data projector and flip chart/pens.
- Time:
- This session took place from 16:00-17:30 on Tuesday 27th July 2004.
