CTRAX
Ashley Jarrell was invited to the meeting to speak to the group about
the new music subscription service, CTRAX, which is now available to UT
faculty, staff & students.
The service is free to students this year while faculty & staff pay a monthly
fee. Currently there are 1503 students registered to use the service which
includes students using the service that are enrolled in the “Study of
Jazz” class. Additional information about this service can be found
at http://oit.utk.edu/utunes/.
No Technology Fee funds are involved in this
service.
IT Survey
OIT is putting together an IT Services Survey that will be sent to
all students. Topics will include current services such as email, Blackboard,
communication
paths, etc., as well as potential services. Bryant Mayne volunteered to be
a part of the survey team.
Departmental Awards
Brice Bible discussed the criteria for the submission of
departmental proposals for FY08 Technology Fee awards. Criteria for the
awards are listed on the website
at http://web.utk.edu/~techfee/guidelines.html. He reminded the group that
the TAB will review the proposed awards at the January 17th meeting.
Tmail
OIT is currently working with the Student Government Association to convert
senators to Tmail. Further conversions will continue as issues with overloading
the system are resolved.
With no further business, the meeting was adjourned. The next meeting of the
Technology Advisory Board is scheduled for Wednesday, November 15, 2006,
