Campus of the Future

Miles Metcalfe from Ravensbourne College talks about the campus of the future.

Ravensbourne have 1500 students and are a mainly A&D & Communication univ. They are moving to Greenwich next door to Millenium dome (o2 arena).New campus designed by FOA(?),opens in 2010.
None of us really know about the future, but has all buzzwords: community engaged, peer supported,inclusive etc etc.
How does IT support this?
User-owned technology.
software as a service, eg google, software loan
Instead of providing inadequate it service, provide good connectivity
IT dept:
Instead of a defender of a scarce resource and arbiter of fair use ,a model of control
Should never block access to Youtube or facebook
A coherent pedagogy, where learners become practitioners and negotiate public id & need to integrate their extra institutional practice into their institution bound learning.
A PLE, access their personal environment through institutional services
Mobile phones have blown away a time driven/ synchronised society
Think about things, a friendship used to be strong , it now could be some idiot on facebook
A VLE system, can be the portal to all you need to learn whether run through rss,institutional data, cloud etc. (the things we at College are thinking about, creating an institutional front end which provides an entry to the things we need.)
Openid is a users id, not institutional identity like shibboleth
Updating patches is a nightmare
