Motivating factors Increasing student population Standardizing degrees and quality
control Reorganizing higher education (SAK):
Collaboration, division of labor, concentration

eCampus goals
Improving research, education and information dissemination by sensible use of technology Working groups Best practice for using technology
For universities, coordinated by UNINETT
The first areas: Mobile use: into your pocket Lecture capture: crossing boundaries of
time, space and access Video conferencing and web meetings:
crossing space and institutional borders

Selecting services
Solves everyday problems Sharing large files, sharing
workspace, meeting over distances
Simple to use, user friendly Federated login
ensures organizational integration
with individual control Integrated ICT architecture

ICT architecture for higher education and research
Campus Best Practices documents Integrating local and national
level Key components:
Identity: Federated login, attributes
