A seamless, integrated, virtual campus administration system

by Dolf Jordaan, The University of Pretoria

This session outlined the systems they'd put in place to manage their e-learning implementation - users, courses, enrolments etc... session by Dolf Jordaan (University of Pretoria) about managing their e-learning implementation. Some interesting points - issues that they face with regard to power, bandwidth etc., that we take for granted (well, mostly). But many of the issues they were talking about were pretty familiar.

Their administrative support systems are not a million miles from the site request systems that we have, although more centrally managed and controlled than would work for us (see, I'm not that much of control freak after all). I don't think that there's anything we'd take from it directly, but it did prompt a few thoughts about how our systems work, and whether they could be more efficient/integrated.
