How Faculty and Students Use R&E Networks

• Low-Latency, Low-Jitter connections• Applications are optimized by R&E networks

– Remote instrumentation– Remote Visualization (CAVE-Technology)– Broadcast quality SD, HD and 3D video

• CD-quality audio• Robust Distance Learning• Transfer of Large to Extremely Large Data Sets

K 2 0I N I T I A T I V E

• Reach out and LISTEN to the right people on campus:– CIO or IT staff – Administrators – Academics

• Do your homework: find the “lowest hanging fruit” and leverage it

• Host an on-campus demonstration focused on disciplines as broad as STEM and Humanities or as narrow as Astronomy and Music

• Stay engaged: Post-discussion follow up is critical. Become a coordinator, facilitator, whatever it takes to keep the momentum. Once you get their interest don’t let it wane

• Don’t be afraid to suggest topics or take initiative and be sure to propose the next meeting

• Keep in mind that faculty are busy people with little time for experimentation. . .– Especially when using R&E Networks since they can only access these networks on campus– Need point and click access– Need information delivered directly to them (Twitter, Facebook, ISTE)

• Initially, keep it simple and short (KISS). Start with Video conferencing
