Cont'd

  • Work with BuckeyeBox to (a) increase cloud space, (b) provide a secure and local backup of the data, and (c) provide access to all students.

Cont'd

  • Work with ODEE to develop a Social Media and Acceptable Use Policy that is specific to mobile and cloud based courses.

Cont'd

  • Provide workshops and training to instructors who volunteer to teach pilot courses. Focus on resources such as u.osu.edu, iTunesU, BuckeyeBox, and the use of the OSU app.

Within 5 years, each College will have at minimum 1 mobile/cloud based course.

Courses will be on-boarded at a rate of three per year to allow for the proper distribution of resources.

App and site metrics will be analyzed three times per semester.

SEIs will continued to be completed at the end of the semester.
