Watson added that the ITC feels that technically there is sufficient bandwidth to cover the requested courses, but the Scheduling Committee will need to look at which medium will best suit their needs. Evidence suggests that the current programming will be able to use the current system. The Working Group will take the lead in discussions on an institutional basis while taking learner needs into account. Staff called invitees for feedback as to why participation was low. It seems that some invitees were not clear about the purpose and that it was scheduled at a busy time of year.
Staff hopes to reschedule in the summer or next fall.
Huie suggested that staff might consider doing regional meetings. Representatives from IPBS, State Library, and the Governor s office will be invited to participate. The Management Committee will discuss the agenda items again at next month s meeting. Levanon addressed concerns related to explicit routing capability, multicasting protocol, and performance on campuses. In addition, the ITC s task force appointed to recommend guidelines for scheduling on the backbone has completed its charge, and the recommendations will be shared with the Access Indiana leadership as appropriate.
