D: Roadmap Considerations Continue to gather more info (while getting underway with an initial shared service)

1. Get all post secs to participate in an ed-tech inventory – this could be done through a Google Doc “event” that is then maintained by CIOs and Directors of T&L Centres. An ed-tech inventory will reveal common ground, gaps, etc. that will aid in longer-term decisions and prioritization

2. Convene an exploratory discussion with Directors of Teaching and Learning, and Student Services, on what tools might best support experiential/career support learning A. Shared Services “Operations”

1. Identify an operating partner and eCO project lead

2. Identify a governance committee that is tasked with prioritization and ongoing governance (mix of Directors T&L and CIOs); governance needs to be emergent, guided by “what other shared services communities have found to be successful”)

3. Identify a technical committee (CIOs) that evaluates cloud and data centre rationalization, as foundations for shared services; and resolves integration and data issues

4. Proceed with investigation and pilot of captioning/transcription services with a few very interested institutions (ideally including a bilingual institution from the get-go); shake down the processes; within 24 months, roll-out-to-many (use the roadmap developed for BCNet Kaltura as a blueprint)
