Why is cloud computing relevant for teaching?
High deployment costs to deliver software
Control and governance chaos in software processes
Required assistance from IT teams reduces time to software delivery and teaching
Traditional• Reduced installation, administration time and costs
• Better governance through standardized delivery of services
• Preconfigured software embodying best practices to expedite teaching
• Tools can be provisioned in minutes. No download, installation or setup.
• Self-service portal to access to software resources

The IBM Academic Skills Cloud
Academic Skills Cloud
IBM has announced an Academic Skills Cloud project to dynamically deliver provisioned virtual server images of some of it’s leading software for use by College/University Faculty to more easily teach IT related skills, via cloud computing services.
The goal is to expedite the service delivery of software used to teach IT skills at colleges/universities through a highly automated, highly virtualized, very dynamic, and flexible self service cloud environment.
Value IBM Academic Cloud, delivers a broad portfolio of easy to consume, real‐time provisioning and enterprise software services
Reduces the necessity of faculty to conduct traditional and time consuming software download, installation, deployment and configuration routines to leverage our software for teaching purposes.
Faster deployment of IBM tools for use in classes.
Increases faculty time focusing on teaching content, less time on logistics, and administration.
Provides faculty and students in classes preconfigured virtual software images embodying best practices.

Various Approaches on Instances

IBM Academic Initiative: building skills for a smarter planet
25
Various Approaches on Instances
Faculty Created and Managed– Professors sign SmartCloud user agreement / addendum to IBM Academic Initiative agreement– Professors get an account on SmartCloud (Academic Skills Cloud)– Professors create instances using their cloud key, can create multiple keys– Professors provide instance / product access instructions to students
- i.e. web urls for Cognos, RTC, Mashup Center, Websphere Portal etc…
– Pros:- Central Management / Governance by Faculty- Faculty can save instances as private images, delete instances at end of semester- Shields students from SmartCloud Control Panel, key management and Putty/SSH interfaces
– Cons:- Required to gain familiarity with SmartCloud Control Panel, Key Management etc…- Requires up front planning, and post semester decommissioning of instances- Depending on IBM product / image being used, faculty may need to also gain familiarity with SSH / Putty client

Various Approaches on Instances
Student Created and Managed– Professors sign SmartCloud user agreement / addendum to IBM Academic Initiative agreement– Professors get an account on SmartCloud (Academic Skills Cloud)– Professor provide names and email addresses of students to IBM – IBM adds students to Professor’s SmartCloud account– Student creates cloud key, and creates instances)
– Pros:- Faculty defer cloud instance creation and management to students- Students enabled to create instances on own, and are exposed to cloud concepts- Faculty can save instances as private images, delete instances at end of semester- Shields students from SmartCloud Control Panel, key management and Putty/SSH interfaces
– Cons:- Students require familiarity with SmartCloud Control Panel, Key Management, and IBM product capabilities etc…- Students manage their instances, including deletion of instances at end of semester- Requires up front planning, and post semester decommissioning of instances- Depending on IBM product / image being used, student may need to also gain familiarity with SSH / Putty client

Various Roles
Administrator– Has IBM SmartCloud account– Creates SmartCloud key– Enabled to create instances with SmartCloud key– Manages instances via SmartCloud Control Panel– Can Create Private Images, Delete Instances– Typically performed by Professor or Teacher Assistant
User– Simply accesses the capabilities of the IBM product / instance– Will not use SmartCloud portal interface; control panel*– Will not create or need to use cloud key*
*Advanced User scenario can exist, when a student project may require exposure to key control panel features, or ability to create instances, and manage instances

Recommended Approach for Pace University
Faculty Managed Instances – Creates instances– Leverage IBM SmartCloud Control Panel– Professor Provides Web URL for Students with exercises / assignments
Benefits:– Centralizes management of teaching instances– Students simply access IBM Cognos via browser
