Dartmouth's Wireless Network Recognized by EDUCAUSE
Dartmouth's wireless computing initiatives were recognized by EDUCAUSE, a
nonprofit association dedicated to advancing higher education by promoting the
intelligent use of information technology. Dartmouth won the award for
excellence in Networking: Innovation in Network Technology, Services, and
Management.
Dartmouth Ranked Tops for Tech-Savvy
Kaplan/Newsweek America's Hottest Colleges edition ranked Dartmouth College
as the "Hottest for the Tech-Savvy." The citation refers to the pioneering work
of Professors John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz.
Dartmouth Converted Telephone/Computer/Video Networks Into One
Dartmouth converted the College's telephone and computer — and, eventually,
video — networks into one. The conversion to "Voice over Internet Protocol," or
VoIP, for faculty and staff with 646 numbers translated to more services,
expanded mobility, and increased flexibility.
Media Production Group Won Gold Medal
The Media Production team within Peter Kiewit Computing Services was awarded
a gold medal from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE).
This award was for the production of "When Dartmouth Builds." The video
explored the values and philosophy behind Dartmouth's building program.
New Center Opened to Support Student Academic Work
The Student Center for Research, Writing, and Information Technology (RWIT)
opened in Berry Library in the fall of 2003. This integrated training facility
helps students determine their research topics, locate resources, structure and
compose theses, use multimedia technology as video editing applications and
PowerPoint presentations, and trains them in a variety of other
project/composition-polishing techniques. See RWiT.
Blackboard Course-management System Extended the Classroom
The campus-wide use of the Blackboard course-management system expanded
quickly, after growing slowly its first three years. The Blackboard Web site is
considered an extension of the classroom. See
Blackboard at Dartmouth.
Noblet Named Networking Role Model
Computing Services' Brad Noblet kept good company. In an issue of Network
World (NW), he shared the stage with Cisco president and CEO John Chambers,
Hewlett-Packard's chair and CEO Carly Fiorina, and Microsoft czar Bill Gates.
All made NW's selective list of the "50 most powerful people in networking."
Noblet was singled out for the pioneering work he did instituting wireless
networking on the Dartmouth's campus.
New and Improve Computing at Dartmouth Web Site Launched
A new and improved Computing at Dartmouth Web site was launched, the result
of collaboration and a year's worth of effort by several teams. The goal was to
take existing Web sites that covered computing issues on campus and integrate
them into one. See Computing at
Dartmouth.
