This session delves into the basic components of a Business Continuity
Plan. The presentation begins with an overview of terminology
and the steps necessary to complete a Business Continuity Plan.
The session is divided into numerous mini-sessions involving large
and small group activities to give attendees a hands-on experience
in understanding the complexity of a Business Continuity Plan
and developing some components of it.
The topics to be covered include identifying prime functions of
an institution, developing a business availability impact analysis,
identifying risks and threats to an institution, developing controls
to mitigate disasters, developing recovery time objectives, and
identifying the basic components for a specific Business Continuity
Plan.

WebCT
Vista Institutional Administration
– Presented by WebCT and Brian Ormand (NMSU)-FREE!
Location: ICT, Rm. 141
This “hands-on” workshop is for WebCT administrators.
The workshop provides an overview of the WebCT Vista system from
the GUI administrator point of view. Hands-on exercises give the
participants the opportunity to create and update their own administrative
area on an evaluation server. Participants in this workshop can
retain access for a period of time to play on the evaluation server
after this workshop.
The workshop will cover setting up multiple colleges/programs
within a single institution, interfacing with institutional systems
(i.e. SIS & Portal), setting default branding and templates,
and sharing educational content institutional-wide. Also covered
is the sophisticated multiple role-based access to tools and information.
This workshop will be lead by a professional WebCT trainer and
will complement your existing skills, promote self-sufficiency,
reduce the time necessary to go live with Vista, and enhance your
e-learning deployment.
Cost - $30.00
The
Self-Defending Network – Presented by Integrity
Networking Systems, Inc.-FREE!
Location: Senate Chambers
This session is an informal product overview and live demo of
products and tools used in the “self defending network”.
The foundation for the Self-Defending Network is integrated security
that is native to all aspects of an organization. Every device
in the network, from desktops through the LAN and across the WAN,
play a part in securing the networked environment through a globally
distributed defense. At ENMU-R, Cisco Security Agent provides
threat protection for server and desktop computing systems. It
aggregates multiple security functionalities combining intrusion
prevention, distributed firewall, malicious mobile code protection,
operating system integrity assurance, and audit log consolidation
in a single agent package. By identifying and preventing malicious
behavior before it can adversely affect the network, ENMU-R can
eliminate potential known and unknown (“Day Zero”)
security risks that threaten enterprise networks and applications.
While periodic implementation of hotfixes, patches, and software
updates are valid security measures, relying solely on these efforts
leaves the network vulnerable to new attacks as the IT administrators
remain one step behind the hackers. The continued evolution of
our vision involves the incorporation of capabilities from other
security vendors. In the Cisco Network Admission Control (NAC)
program, for example, Cisco is working with antivirus vendors
to help ensure that infected devices are not allowed entry into
the network. These self-defending networks will identify threats,
react appropriately to the severity level, isolate infected servers
and desktops, and reconfigure the network resources in response
to an attack.
The Cisco strategy of the Self-Defending Network brings together
Secure Connectivity, Threat Defense, and Trust and Identity Management
with the capability of infection containment and rogue device
isolation in a single solution. ENMU-R has partnered with Integrity
Network Systems to take a proactive approach with Cisco Security
Agent to ensure the privacy, integrity, and reliability of information
transmitted and to protect against internal and external threats.
Please join us for an informal product overview by Cisco Systems,
live demonstration by Integrity Network Systems, and a Q&A
with ENMU-R IT administrators.

Internet Based Facility Management – Presented
by Schooldude.com -FREE!
Location: Dona Ana Room
Computerized Maintenance Management Systems have been around for
years. These systems help administer the challenges of facility
management or information systems management in educational institutions.
However, 85% of school districts in the United States have been
unable to take advantage of these solutions due to high cost and
high complexity. This presentation will review what is available
on the market, the “critical list” of features, and
the trends in the industry. New Internet based services are being
offered which dramatically reduce the startup effort and simplify
the daily usage of these systems making them more practical for
all school districts. You will see a live demonstration of these
new technologies as well as review national surveys of school
districts around the United States regarding preventive maintenance,
facility usage, staffing, and utility management.
Learning Objectives:
•
How to evaluate “Total Cost of Ownership” of Internet
based approaches vs. traditional desktop software solutions.
• How the Internet provides small school districts (and
big districts) with the same technology tools that the big
districts have been enjoying for years.
• How the Internet inherently streamlines the multi-person
process of work orders, school facility scheduling, inventory
management, and utility tracking. |
Topics:
•
Computerized Maintenance Management Systems in Schools since
the mid eighties.
• The players, technologies, and trends
• The small school districts missed out due to complexities
and cost
• How the Internet is revolutionizing the software industry
• Streamlining educational business processes including
a review of national research which focuses on:
• Scheduling and managing of non-curricular events
• Maintenance and IT work order requests, approvals,
and assignments
• Preventive Maintenance scheduling
• Inventory requisitioning and management for custodial,
instructional supplies, and maintenance
• Utility tracking and management
• Increasing efficiencies even further with wireless
technology, and how this technology is applied to facility
management

Scholarship System
The New Mexico Military Institute has a large number of funded,
highly restricted scholarships. Historically the amount of unused
scholarship funds has been substantial because of the difficulty
of finding students who meet the criteria for the scholarships.
The problem of matching nearly 200 scholarships with 1,000 students
on five to ten criteria is an impossible manual task. As a consequence
hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarship money has not
been awarded yearly. This presentation will highlight New Mexico

Hands-on
the Future of Teaching
Recruiting highly qualified teachers is more easily mandated than
accomplished in New Mexico. One third of the teaching vacancies
each year are filled with teachers from outside the state, and
across New Mexico it is not unusual for a district to have multiple
teachers on waivers. Two years ago the Las Cruces Public Schools
decided to intervene in the teacher shortage by launching a multi-pronged
attack. First, the district set out to retain teachers by creating
a two-year teacher induction program. Second, the district expanded
the current career education program by initiating Future Educator
of America (FEA) clubs in all secondary schools, offering PreTeaching
I & II classes at all high schools, aligning this curriculum
with the teacher preparation curriculum at New Mexico State University
(NMSU), and beginning the process of creating a joint powers agreement
with NMSU to provide concurrent credit courses for students in
area high schools who are taking education courses while still
in high school. The creation of the Teacher Pathways program allows
the district to grow and nurture its own future classroom teachers.
Students who complete this program, then enroll at NMSU and graduate
with a degree in education, are guaranteed a contract with the
Las Cruces Public Schools.

Wireless
Networking FAQ’s
The term 'wireless networking' refers to technology that enables
two or more computers to communicate using standard network protocols,
but without network cabling. Strictly speaking, any technology
that does this could be called wireless networking. The current
buzzwords however generally refer to wireless local area networks
(WLAN). This technology, fueled by the emergence of cross-vendor
industry standards such as HomeRF (now called SWAP), Bluetooth,
Infrared and the most popular being IEEE 802.11, has produced
a number of affordable wireless solutions that are growing in
popularity where sophisticated applications need the freedom of
wireless networking or where network wiring is impossible, such
as in older school buildings, computer labs, warehousing and handheld
computing equipment.
This presentation will deal with 15 FAQs relating to Wireless
Networking and will attempt to clear some of the confusion related
to the Wireless Networking and what its capabilities are.

This presentation will provide an overview of the New Mexico State
University College of Education Distance Education programs currently
available and how these programs were developed. Special attention
will be given to the collaborative efforts to increase course
offerings and providing support to the instructors involved. Some
of these programs were developed in response to shortages of special
and bilingual education teachers, school counselors, and school
administrators, many of whom are not fully certified (on waiver)
in New Mexico. Participants will find the session useful in that
the process for developing distance education programs can be
replicated to meet their needs. Evaluation of distance education
courses online will also be discussed, which is critical to determine
the overall effectiveness of the classes and programs that have
been developed. The evaluation tool developed for this purpose
is available online and is submitted anonymously by students.
A data base has been developed to analyze the evaluation data
submitted. The analysis of data is summarized and provided for
the instructor as well as any comments submitted. Summary data
is provided to the appropriate administrators upon request to
