Workshop: Harmonizing Higher Education: “Standard” perspectives in support of the Bologna Process toward the creation of a European Higher Education Area
This workshop builds on the previous activities of the Rome Student Systems and Standard Group (RS3G) around standards and procedures supporting digital student data exchange in Higher Education Institutions. RS3G has been focused on putting into perspective how standardization efforts can help solve the challenging interoperability problems paving the road toward the harmonization of Higher Education at international level. One of its distinctive traits is to provide a context for understanding international standardization activities, contributing to the them in a practical way, and engaging in international collaboration projects. RS3G is dedicated to addressing issues such as the critical “adoption dilemma” as well as key success factors like “bridging the gap” between standardization authorities and the implementation community. The workshop will also showcase real ongoing projects and their expected impact on Bologna Process while providing references for further investigation and opportunities for direct involvement.

Tutorial 2: IT Governance in Higher Education
This tutorial will focus on how can a Higher Education institution implements an IT Governance Framework.
First of all, the most important frameworks will be presented: ISO 38500, COBIT, Weill and Ross, JISC Framework (United Kingdom), CRUE Framework (Spain).
Several international initiatives in Higher Education (United Kingdom, Spain and EE.UU.) will be analized and discussed with the hope you can contribute with your own experience.
Later, key steps that the organization must follow to implement an IT Governance system will be presented.
Hands-On part of the tutorial will be focused on resolving several exercises that help you to understand how you can implement some of these steps.
During this session several toolkits developed by CRUE (similar to JISC´s toolkit) could be used.
