Empowering faculty to have control of their digital content
• Today I intend on you passively visualize, digest, and hopefully share with your colleagues and leaders.
• Give a hand for passive learning.

Unforeseen opportunity: incentivized villagers started cobra farms that were discovered outside of town.

Standards
• Capitalize on Standards to foster unknown opportunities.
• Common metrics from once closed and disperse systems.
• Unizin promotes the use of standards setting high expectations for all vendors and institutions to use them.
Unizin Ecosystem

The Unizin Ecosystem
• One of Unizin’s core values is adhering to common standards in order to
1. Provide a loosely coupled and interoperable ecosystem of technologies

Content Relay
Content Relay [TBD]
Describe the content relay
*Add requirements!
• Gatekeeper of content Providing authentication passthrough
• Satisfying metadata access requirements
• Tagging content with metadata
• Connector with disparate content repositories
• Works in concert with the platform and analytics relay to give control where it was not before.
Scenario
• Faculty owned contribution of content.
• Incentives: Shared, rated (feedback), cited, Promotion and Tenure.
Performance Thresholds
• Common standards of measurement enable us to establish performance thresholds.
• Common metrics from diverse, and once closed systems enable us to experiment and determine how to improve.
May 6, 1954: Roger Bannister 3:59.4
Iffley Road Track in Oxford, with Chris Chataway and Chris Brasher
providing the pacing
• Measurement results in Performance Thresholds
• Roger Bannister = 3:59.4 minute mile
• Created a defendable threshold that has proven to be a recognized standard of excellence.
Undiscovered Opportunities
• Undiscovered Opportunity resulted from established performance thresholds
• What has been done to improve the chances of more people reaching the benchmarked thresholds?
• Clothing, shoes, track surfaces, behavioral changes in training, eating, etc.
Controlling Content
• Standards - Caliper, RAM Caliper
• Licensing - creative commons and variations
• Measurement - that was never before, access to data
• Incentives - shared content, rating, use, documentation for P&T
• Greater control mechanisms = more control.
• Could use car analogies, I have more control with a car that has ABS and traction control than I did before. There are systems in place to help me teach yet to be
developed.
Effective Governance & Policies

• Once incentives were removed - farms released the cobras.
• Well thought governance and policies to expand opportunities is Unizin’s vision.
