Very interesting article is: http://www.educause.edu/ero/article/cloud-security-debate-cloud-now-or-cloud-how It is about cloud security. I agree with the opinion that the "Internet" is insecure. I think it is not the fault of the developers or website owners, but people who expect that everything will be simple and easy. They do not want to encrypt data, they do not want to remember 45 character passwords and then they complain that someone stole them something. :) Maybe my opinion is harsh but i think that in many cases users are irresponsible and They are guilty.
I have found quite interesting article about use of data analyzing tools in education. Author highlights advantages of using computerized environment to improve teaching system and help assess students. Among main arguments mentioned is real time assessment with feedback opposed to hours of time spend by a teacher on tests verification and only periodical summary. I found the system described by writer really big improvement to what I have had at school and hope that someday we will see something like this in Poland (let’s hope that rather sooner than later…).

I found two articles about mobile apps in higher education created by IT departments of universities: http://www.educause.edu/ero/article/mobile-its-time-get-serious http://www.educause.edu/ero/article/adventures-mobility The apps provide personalized information about courses, campus services, events and anything that a student would be interested in without having to browse the official website.
These kinds of apps seem to make access to relevant information much quicker and more convenient because students can carry their smartphones everywhere with them and the apps use personal login information to show things like grades and even allow them to register for courses. The apps are tailored to student needs which were researched using surveys and then verified once the apps were released with more surveys and polling. I also liked the idea of building a campus community around the apps, by engaging students with current events. When this technology was new, some innovative universities even provided mobile devices such as tablets for students. Today it seems that almost everyone is equipped a capable smartphone and the demand for such services is growing quickly.
"Higher education is being reshaped little by little every day. Slowly but surely, from the smallest community colleges to the teaching institutions to the most prestigious research universities, a new set of key performance indicators (KPIs) is transforming what excellence means in higher education. For developed and emerging market nations globally, higher education creates both an informed citizenry and a high-skill workforce, but how that is achieved is being transformed. What is not changing is the fact that higher education opens up new opportunities in a knowledge-driven global economy. It is what parents want for their children, as well as what professionals want for themselves as lifelong learners with growing career aspirations. So how can institutions compete on the global stage of higher education? Through service science, the emerging science that studies value co-creation in complex systems and proven innovation techniques already being used in other industries."

Ten Reasons Service Science Matters to Universities. 1. Universities are complex service systems of fundamental importance. 2. Disciplines are infusing service innovation concepts into curriculum. 3. Service science can help universities overcome discipline silos. 4. University-based startups are often new types of online service. 5. Professional associations are adding service science SIGs. 6. Cities, home to most universities, are complex service systems. 7. Service failures can be costly and can derail the careers of students. 8. Service science can help universities move up in rankings. 9. Service science can contribute to good industry-university relations and interactions. 10. Service science can help all universities improve their service excellence "game."
