The December UTC minutes and notes from the Feb 7 UTC meeting were discussed.
Item of concern: Steve Lyon (ITS) announced as of March 1, all new faculty, staff, and students will use the new Banner generated ID (Nxxxxxxxx) as their network ID. This will replace the network ID for faculty and staff and osprey ID for students. New users will also be allowed to select an email name. Faculty were concerned about losing their current account names, but were assured this would not happen for existing users. Since access to all UNF systems will be dependent on the generation of this number by Human Resources, serious concerns were expressed about the length of time it takes HR to process PAFs for new employees, especially part-time faculty at the beginning of the term. The reason given for moving away from the current network IDs is to avoid the problems caused when someone changes their name. CTC is concerned about the use of a sequentially generated ID, intended to replace the SSN as the unique identifier, becoming the publicly known user ID. CTC will express these concerns at the next FA executive meeting.

The second reading of the Bylaws change to reflect the inclusion of a faculty representative from this committee on the new Distance Learning Committee is on the FA agenda for the March meeting.

Update from ITS on the following old business:
John Sharp has asked for additional time to complete the standardized classroom technology documentation. It has been promised for summer 2005. ITS proposes using the existing links on their "Info for Faculty & Staff" pages (http://www.unf.edu/dept/its/facstaff/index.html) to present the information we have requested. They suggested hotlinks at the classroom level - go to "Classroom Audiovisual" then "Classroom Equipment link" (https://csdweb.unf.edu/compserv/info/techclass.html)

Plagiarism trapping software -- Last month, it was brought to the committee's attention one college and several departments are paying for licenses of Turnitin, and possibly UNF would benefit from reconsidering an institutional license. Further, much of the freeware available during the previous evaluation of software by the former ATSS committee is no longer free.

Prior to today's meeting, Katharine Brown met with Deb Miller (CIRT), and Karen Reedy and Patrick Valaer (ACE) to get their input. Deb agreed to meet with CTC and bring information OFE has gathered. ACE was unable to send a rep to the CTC meeting, but suggested we include Kathy Hassall (Writing Center). Both are in attendance, along with Leslie Kaplan.
