    2. New FITC Manager – Leslie Kern – replacing Robin Ove. New opportunities for collaboration. IDFS meeting helped. 
    3. Matterhorn – now in 7 rooms. Will expand to 25 and maybe a few more by the fall. 
    4. Canvas pilot: 8 courses, 6 instructors. This will lead to a report from one of our faculty committees. Not sure if it will progress after that. 
    5. ANI outage – ANI was down for 30 hours on Friday / Saturday. Major hardware meltdown with unsuccessful failover. 
    6. Sakai upgrade planned for summer. 
    7. AT Plan is out – draft being circulated to groups. I can share with ETLG as well if you wish. 
    8. Library – new UL: much progress being made. 
    9. Chalk & Wire being used in our Ed. Department. 
    10. Education Advisory Board contract signed last Tuesday. This includes GradesFirst. Efforts by academic side toward predictive analytics, early alert. 
    11. Campus strategic planning underway… aligning our current projects to campus objectives. 
    12. Use of ServiceNow to develop service requests (like at UCLA) – to streamline service intake, delivery, and follow up. One example: Classroom codes. 
    13. Learning Glass
    14. Some computer labs closed due to renovations. Unprecedented demand for labs as classrooms. 
    15. Career tracks now complete for ITS at UCSC. 
    16. Virtualizing the back end for our systems / library systems.
    17. Moving away from Polycom and LifeSize towards rooms designed for web based conferencing, such as Skype. Much cheaper. Not sure how it will scale up to big rooms.
