The Office of the CIO and Information Services and Technology are working with the UC Berkeley community to develop a campus strategy on how to use technology to best support collaborative work on campus, now and in the future.
You have an opportunity to shape this strategy and hence the future of collaborative technology used on campus. Today, we are pleased to release for your review the first draft of three sections of the upcoming Campus Collaborative Tools Strategy document.
We are intentionally releasing these first three sections of this strategy document at an early stage to elicit comments, feedback, and guidance from the campus community. We believe only through that method can we accurately represent the many collaborative practices and perspectives on the Berkeley campus. We would greatly appreciate any guidance, perspectives, corrections, or suggestions. We're particularly looking for more guidance around the needs for collaborative technologies in research and teaching.
As of today, the final recommendations to be included in this strategy have not yet been written. We have made the decision to release these initial findings before the recommendations, in order to ensure that the recommendations reflect your feedback, and that of many others on campus, on this early stage draft of the document.
To view and comment on this draft, please go to the Campus Collaborative Tools Strategy, First Draft: Please comment page of the IST—Data Services blog.
The deadline for comments on this draft of the strategy document is Friday, April 11, 2008. The complete strategy document, including recommendations, will be released for another round of comments in late April.
