Internet Portals

This is a book about Internet portals in higher education. It grew out of the editors’ sense that the application of portal technologies to college and university needs is a much broader topic than can be addressed in a brief article or conference presentation. Portals present unique strategic challenges in the academic environment. Their conceptualization and design requires the input of campus constituents who seldom interact and whose interests are often opposite. The implementation of a portal requires a coordination of applications and databases controlled by different campus units at a level that may never before have been attempted at the institution. Building a portal is as much about constructing intra-campus bridges as it is about user interfaces and content. Richard Katz (2000) sums it up concisely: “A portal strategy is difficult and perilous because many on campus are weary and suspicious of another new enterprise-wide information technology initiative, and because portals, by definition require across-the-institution agreements on approach and design that are hard to achieve in loosely coupled organizations like academic institutions.”

L’échelle POSITIVES (Postsecondary Information Technology Initiative Scale) porte sur les réponses de 141 étudiants francophones canadiens de niveau postsecondaire en situation de handicap concernant la satisfaction de leurs besoins reliés aux technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC). Cet article a pour objectif de présenter des données sur les propriétés psychométriques de l’échelle et d’en proposer des utilisations futures. Sa fidélité et sa validité sont excellentes. Les résultats indiquent qu’en général l’accessibilité des sites Web et services en ligne des établissements, les heures d’accès à ces technologies et les formats alternatifs des matériels de cours sont adéquats. Par contre, la formation hors campus à ce sujet et la disponibilité des ordinateurs adaptés dans les établissements sont problématiques.

Electronic Health

National legislation is in place to facilitate reform of the United States health care industry. The Health Care Information Technology and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) offers financial incentives to hospitals, physicians, and individual providers to establish an electronic health record that ultimately will link with the health information technology of other health care systems and providers. The information collected will facilitate patient safety, promote best practice, and track health trends such as smoking and childhood obesity.
