From online admissions reviews to course management on Facebook, social collaboration sites and tools are disrupting the way colleges and universities collaborate. But how do these new online tools fit with already established collaboration tools and processes? And how can disparate campuses and teams best make use of these tools? Join us on Wednesday, January 29th, 11 AM EST for our Open Atrium “Higher Education Webinar”, to learn how colleges and universities are successfully using technology and software to connect people, departments and partners. You will also learn from our resident Open Atrium expert and VP of Strategic Initiatives, Karen Borchert on how Open Atrium — the powerful and flexible open source collaboration software — can help make collaboration easier and more effective by providing a one-stop tool that gives people a place to discuss ideas, share documents, and coordinate meetings events.

3. What IS online
collaboration?

5. Online Collaboration Software...
• connects people and teams with information they need to
get work done together.
• sometimes focuses more on “assets” -- like sharing
documents and storing files (think traditional course mgt
software for storing syllabi and course materials)
• sometimes focuses more on “communications” -- like
sharing discussions and ideas (think Yammer, or a
discussion board)

6. And to organize it...

7. But Also...
• the landscape for collaboration software is changing
rapidly.
• people like to declare things like “email is dead!” while
most of us are still using them (especially slower to change
organizations).
• collaboration can be a challenging, expensive, and large
problem to tackle, especially for a large and complex
organization.

8. and that makes things
particularly challenging for
higher education.

9. What We Hear from
Higher Ed

10. We Need collaboration! For stuff like...
• an admissions process with outside reviewers
• a research portal for publishing and finding research
• an intranet for faculty and staff
• course materials and communications
• intradepartmental communications
• connecting disparate campuses or campus organizations

11. but higher education is unique
when it comes to collaboration
solutions.

12. “
Collaboration is challenging in higher
education because there are so many
different types of projects.
Admissions Staff Member
Georgetown University
”

13. “
I see a deep-rooted resistance to
change, maybe because we haven’t
always been focused on realizing
efficiency gains from technology.
Board Member
UC San Diego School of Law
”

14. “
Decision by committee usually means
outdated software.
Engineering Professor
Southern Methodist University
”

15. “
Ledaership is moving toward a much
more business-minded approach to
course offerings. Lowered cost of
delivery, higher customer base, and less
revenue being derived from traditional
tuition.
Director of Non Degree Programs
Johns Hopkins University
”

16. In Summary...
• We collaborate in a LOT of different ways, and a lot of
different places, in higher ed.
• There’s a bit of a resistance to new solutions.
• The bigger the decision, the less likely we are to be on “the
cutting edge”
• But we have an interest in figuring out new ways to add
value - for students, faculty, and researchers.

17. How Open Source
Helps

18. Open Source Allows Higher Ed to...
• Create solutions for multiple needs, without running up
licensing costs.
• “Try Small Before you Buy Big.”
• Integrate with Plugins, instead of reinventing googledocs
or destroying someone’s “favorite tool.”
• Create the potential for new value

19. What is Open Atrium?

20. Open Atrium is open source collaboration software
used to build intranets, portals, & collaboration
platforms for organizations.

• Open Atrium is an open source distribution of Drupal code.
• It is free to download to anyone. (drupal.org/project/openatrium)
• Installing the code from Drupal requires technical
knowledge and an understanding of Drupal.
• Less-technical teams can try out Open Atrium in a hosted
environment, like on Pantheon. (getpantheon.com)
• A developer team can help you use or customize it.
