 Changing Student Expectations
 Technology: what’s next?
 Safety & Security
 Planning a “Technology Friendly”
Building
 Differing Points of View in the Classroom:
• Baby Boomers (Born 1946 – 1964)
• Generation X (Born 1965 to 1978)
• Generation Y (Born 1979 to 1994)
 Very different ideas, desires, learning preferences

Greater emphasis on collaboration

Addressing individual expectations a
significant challenge!

Baby Boomers
Generations X
Millennial
E-Mail is
One more thing to do,
another thing to learn
The best way to stay in
touch
Not nearly as good as
instant messaging
and blogging
Instant messaging
is…
Another distraction
popping up on my
screen
A good, quick way to
get things done
Like breathing – I can
carry on seven
conversations at once
Text messages are…
For Techie kids
Good for short
messages
What I do all day long
Mobile video
messaging is…
No idea
A novelty
Common place
Power point is…
Effective and
professional
My right arm
Pretty boring in a
speech and hard to
make interesting
Face to face meetings
are…
Vital
Key. I need to know
people to understand
what’s important
Uncomfortable,
confrontational and
overly formal
Search engines are…
Useful but not
trustworthy
How did we survive
without Google and
Wikipedia
My super-tool. My
home page and lots
more…
Conference calls are…
The next best thing to a
meeting
The way we work
these days
An opportunity to
multitask while
“listening”

 Tech Savvy Generation dominates
 Many bring an Internet capable device to class
 Increasing demand for access to course
materials, anywhere, anytime, from any device
Number of Students
Total Number of US Higher Education Students in
Physical Classrooms Versus Online Schools
25,000,000
Now
20,000,000
15,000,000
In 5 Years
10,000,000

Attends Physical Takes Some Takes All Classes
Classrooms Only Classes Online

Higher Education Online Student Population
Control Devices
Endpoint Devices
IP Backbone Network
 Devices Untethered from Applications
 Many Students Bring Web-Capable Devices
 Web Accessible Applications:
•
•
•
•
Can be more cost effective, use participants’ device
Dependent upon strong IP Network
Truly “anything anywhere”
iTunes University, polleverywhere.com
 Pay-As-You-Go “Software as a Service”
• Microsoft Word by the use?
 Long Term Battle between WiFi, 4G, WiMax
 Single handset, single number likely in 24 months
 “Presence” will provide a new level of access
•
•
•
•
Makes Presence known
Highly customized call treatment
Always in the user’s control
Custom Applications possible:
Example: Skill Finder
Google Voice
Home:
Wireless

On the Go:
Cellular
Work:
Office


Will Augment Face-to-Face Teaching

Truly Useful Tools Emerging
 Likely to drive demand
for Video Capture
in classrooms
 Voice, in whatever form, is a critical part of:
• Collaboration Tools
• Lecture “Capture,” Podcasting
• Desktop Video/ Video Conferencing / Telepresence

Fully “Mediated” Rooms
• HD Video, Presentation Systems with
multiple points of input
• Document Camera
• Strong Wireless Network
• Student Collaboration, Feedback Tools
• Secure location for equipment
• Abundant electrical outlets for student use



Typically multiple standards
Need Consistent components, Controls
To Lectern or not to Lectern?

Don’t overlook training & video storage
 Required in a Post 9/11 World
 Mass Notification Increasingly Important:
•
Digital Signage
•
Text
•
Page
•
Displays on Telephones
•
Seize A/V Displays
 Intelligent Analytics:
•
Facial Recognition
•
Shot Spotter
•
Abandoned Bag Scanner
Intruder
on
Campus
 Voice Recognition
 Speech to Text
 RFID
 Nanotechnology

Category 5E is the minimum
recommended grade: Cat 5 is
dead!

True Universal Cabling strongly
encouraged.

TechKnowledge believes the
overall demand for cabling has
peaked.

With the advent of a single IP
network, standardization and
pulling cable to a single
equipment room are essential.

Wireless Networks are typically
in addition to wired network
connections.
In the Short Term,
It’s still a Wired World!
Technology Closets

At Least One Per Floor:
• Many Devices, Multiple Networks
Ground Bar
CATV/MATV
4 -6" Riser Cores
Ladder Rack
Equipment and
Cable Racks
• Congested Wall Space
• Typically at least two 19” racks
• May house some A/V components as well
Overhead Page
Security
3’ of working clearance

Floor - VCT or sealed

208 Volt Components Common

24 Hour HVAC - (1) air change per
hour

Ground Bar
4 -6" Riser Cores

Cable Racks
Ladder Rack
4" Sleeves

CATV/MATV
• 100 sq. ft. / 20,000 typical
UPS now considered essential to
power VoIP phones

Data Centers
 Each one is unique
 “Tier I, II, III, IV” fashionable
 Business continuity essential
 Mission critical (24 x 7)
 Location sensitive (basement)
 Dramatic growth in storage
• Onsite (SAN’s)
• Backup sites
 “Cooled Cabinets” may be an
affordable option in some
circumstances

Square footage rarely a meaningful predictor of technology costs
Admin Seats + Classrooms X 1.15 = Telephone Count
Admin Seats + Classrooms X 1.25 = Cable Count
Square Footage / 20,000 per = Number of Technology Closets, IP Switches
Budget Guidelines:


VoIP Phones:
Call Centers / Special Use:
Wireless:
Cabling:
Data Centers:
Digital Signage:
IP Networks:
Audio / Visual:
$1,100 per telephone
$2,500 per position minimum
$0.50 per sq. ft.
$400 to $550 per faceplate
$150 to $700 per foot
$0.65 per sq. ft.
Wild Card!
$ -0- to Millions
Don’t forget IP ports and cable for security, building automation

Establish a baseline and measure results

Many opportunities for quick savings:
•
•
•
•
Enable power saving features on all devices
Virtualization of servers in data centers
Turn down unused servers, PC’s, printers
Consider “virtual desktops” as offerings mature

UPS and HVAC frequently make up 50% of power
consumption in a data center

“Flywheel” Generators can be used in lieu of UPS, better
options likely to become available soon
 Emerging Technologies provide means to:
•
Stay agile in a rapidly changing world
•
Meet the needs of the generations
•
Extend reach beyond classrooms
•
Distinguish your Institution
•
Impact Costs of Education
 “Conventional Wisdom” no longer applies
 Design classrooms with tomorrow in mind
 Fasten your seatbelt, hold on tight!
