On Campus Information Technology

The world gradually enters the information society. Under the impact of the world's informatization tide, each nation, each race, each profession and each organization are all faced with the big existing pressure. In order to prevent from being abandoned, all governments are investing much capital in pushing forward their countries' informatization, including enterprise's informatization, government administration's informatization, science and technology's informatization, medical treatment informatization, community service informatization and so on.In this reform storm, the profession of education also cannot dismiss the calamity. The traditional education mode needs important change, and education also should walk down the road of the informatization. Education informatization is a long course of history that regards the information as a basic composing factor of education system, develops new education ability which is represented by intelligized education tool and promotes the development of educational undertakings. During this long course, campus informatization will pave the way and establish the foundation for the education informatization. Because of the development of campus informatization, firstly it will make all kinds of internal information unblocked and efficient; secondly it will create the new educate-study platform; thirdly it will set up the new campus community and sprout the new campus culture.The campus informatization development in the developed countries abroad headed by the United States, started earlier, planned farther, invested more and led our country by near a decade. Therefore our country's campus informatization has the different characteristic: the nation enlarges the development degree and investment year by year, but the regional difference is even very big; Some famous universities (such as Tsinghua university, Peking university) develop quickly, while others still place in the start stage.The campus informatization development differs from the school informatization development. It emphasizes to set up a kind of environment, a kind of atmosphere. This kind of environment includes hardware environment, software environment, person's consciousness environment and so on. The campus informatization development also differs from digital campus development. It stands for establishing a kind of information environment and putting great emphasis on information collection and utilization.With the campus informatization development, we will set up a digitized, intelligized and informatized campus which has four-level structure. The four levels are network basic layer, network management layer, network basic service layer andapplication system layer.Campus informatization development primarily includes basic engineering development, application engineering development and management engineering development. Basic engineering development is the foundation facilities development of the informatized campus, mainly includes campus network construct and campus card item. It is the foundation of the whole informatized campus. Application engineering development will build all kinds of application system, like digital library, modern distance education system (network education system), resources databases, OA (Office Automation) and VOD (Video on Demand) system etc. If it is spread and used, it will improve the efficiency of the management, and extend the school running ability. Management engineering development has the principle that looks upon the person as the base. Its key items contain information consciousness development, safe management and management innovation etc.Besides software, hardware and management, which are the items of campus informatization development itself, the new campus humanities environment is also important to the campus informatization. It will affect and influence the process of the campus informatization development. At the same time, the new campus humanities environment also need be accumulated and precipitated over a long period tim...
