What's Ahead BUILDING A FOUNDATION FOR IMPROVING THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE Enhance the MyPlan academic planning tool with adviser-created sample plans and integrate it with UW's registration system. Automate the curriculum review process with Kuali Student Curriculum Management, to simplify curriculum planning, implementation and assessment, in partnership with the Office of the Registrar. Redesign MyUW to improve navigation, better present information, and provide a mobile version of course resources. Engage MyUW users in a needs assessment to guide future development. Certify student work with Turnitin anti-plagiarism software to help instructors and students check their work against a database of 24+ billion Web pages, 300+ million student papers and leading library resources. It works with Canvas online assignment submission. Develop new survey tools to offer a quick, reliable way to build and administer online surveys and quizzes anytime, on any device. Launch My Husky Experience to explore ways to better support student participation in co-curricular learning through enhancements to MyPlan and MyUW. Explore new Web-based lecture capture tool as a single solution for all three campuses. The new tool works in large lecture halls that current technologies can't serve. THE FUTURE Move forward with new HR/Payroll system implementation, after vendor selection and review and approval by the Board of Regents. Implement an Enterprise Document Management System to increase efficiencies, reduce paper, and support records retention and collaboration. Expand UW's Enterprise Data Warehouse to include student course enrollment data for Activity Based Budgeting reporting and other student data by summer. Roll out Tableau software with new data visualization capabilities for UW students, faculty and staff; provide more institutional dashboards in UW Profiles, with the Office of Planning & Budgeting, that will include information about classroom utilizations, research awards and proposals and financial expenditures. Continue to implement eProcurement, creating greater efficiency through spend management, automating processes for contract storage and compliance, honoraria for individuals, and receiving goods and services prior to payment. ENABLING WORLD-CHANGING DISCOVERY Upgrade the UW network to 40G to improve capacity and performance. Survey UW researchers about their technology needs and use the findings to enhance support. Connect Hyak high-performance shared computing cluster to the new High Speed Research Network (HSRN) and offer big data tools such as Hadoop. Combine lolo central storage with traditional backup file services to handle massive petabyte-scale data sets. Ensure Ocean Observatories Initiative data can be stored and recovered during seismic disruption by designing data network and storage facilities in geographically diverse cities. Expand the SQLShare database-as-a-service so it can be offered at no cost to any UW researcher. 14 UW INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
