A Wireless Roadmap for 250,000 Users and Growth Dr. Curtis A. Carver Jr. Vice Chancellor and Chief Information Officer Board of Regents

description

With more than 250,000 students generating 50 million hits a day across 42 terabytes of content and 160,000 courses, the University System of Georgia's learning system is no stranger to the need for high-performance wireless infrastructure. Providing a private cloud serving other state agencies, including the Georgia Department of Education's 189 school districts and 1.6 million students, means that the university system must provide the best available wireless strategy and technologies. Join us to learn how they do it.

Affordable Resources• We are at a point of

transformation in the publishing industry.

• Many students cannot afford textbooks.

• Does the value in hundreds of different USG versions of English 101 outweigh the cost?

• We need to start collaborating on purchasing textbooks.

• We need to accelerating faculty creation of USG textbooks.

• Ecore is a great place to start.

• Governor Deal is investing in this transformation.
