Campus Computing 2006 Executive Summary

The Campus Computing Survey, a part of the Campus Computing Project, is an annual national survey of information technology in higher education. The survey focuses primarily on academic computing issues. Southeastern Louisiana University submitted the 2006 Campus Computing Survey on October 6, 2006. This report shows a comparison of campus computing at Southeastern at that time with Public Universities and All Institutions who responded, based on the 2006 Campus Computing Survey. Uses of Information Technology • Southeastern rates higher than All Institutions and Public Universities in use of computer-based

classrooms/labs, computer based simulations/exercises, and electronic mail.

Points of Excellence • Southeastern ranked quite well in the quality of its Web site, providing most of the academic

resources and services to students, faculty and staff. Admission and financial aid applications, course catalog, course registration, fee-payment, on-line courses, and IT support resources and training are just some of the resources and services available through Southeastern’s Web site.

i Institutional Research and Assessment

• Southeastern is among 44% of All Institutions and 34% of Public Universities that require computer

instruction or competency for all undergraduate students. • Southeastern has 500 wireless nodes on the campus network, while the average number for All

Institutions is 207 and for Public Universities is 442. • While many institutions experienced security incidents such as theft of computer(s) containing

confidential data files, hack/attack on the campus network, identity management issues, major computer virus infestation, major spyware infestation, and explore/loss of sensitive data in distributed environment, Southeastern experienced only student security incident related to social networking sites.

• The technology infrastructure at Southeastern is outstanding. In almost all the categories,

Southeastern rates better than the average rate of All Institutions and Public Universities.

ii Institutional Research and Assessment

Areas for Improvement • The number of network servers at Southeastern is quite low. While Southeastern has 60 network

servers, the average of All Institutions have 183 and Public Universities have 637 network servers. • The average number of FTE help desk/technical support personnel at All Institutions is 37 and at

Public Universities is 137, while Southeastern has only 20. The ratio user support (enrollment/help desk) at Southeastern is 705 students to 1 help desk person, while the ratio at All Institutions is 277:1 and at Public Universities is 187:1.

• While campus network and Internet access are provided to all faculty at Southeastern, the percentage

of classrooms connected to the campus network/have Internet access is quite low. One area that needs improvement is wireless network access. Only 25% of overall campus and 5% of the classrooms are covered or served by wireless network access.

• Southeastern limits the file size of email documents or attachments to a maximum of 10 MB. The

average maximum file size at All Institutions is 21 MB and at Public Universities is 33 MB. • Students at Southeastern are allowed to have a Web site with a maximum size of 50 MB. The

average size at All Institutions is 62 MB and at Public Universities is 130 MB.
