Project Name: One to One Student Computing Pilot
Project Leaders: Phil Long, Joanne Hallisey
Report period:  April 14, 2001 to May 13, 2001
Submitted by: Joanne Hallisey
URL: http://web.mit.edu/is/discovery/ownership/

Accomplishments past period:

- Finalize details for the smaller MITCET pilot project.
- Prepared presentation for grants committee
- Grants committee presentation by Vijay - April 25, 200.  Got verbal 
approval for funding for minimal IS support of laptop initiatives.
- Prepared financial information and presentation for funding for a 
wider initiative addressing the long term IT infrastructure, support 
and service issues for a large-scale One to One Student Computing 
implementation - Presented Student Computing proposal for ITLT review 
and input on May 3, 2001
- Revised presentation slides and sent to Vijay Kumar and Jim Bruce 
for final editing on May 7, 2001

Goals for the coming period:
- Submit proposal on long term student computing program for funding

Issues:
- The laptop initiatives have been given verbal approval for funding 
minimal IS support.  Support of these projects will not generate 
much, if any, information about a larger scale implementation.

Key Learnings:
- Persistence pays off.  Recognizing that the larger scale 
implementation would be expected regardless of the smaller pilot was 
important.

Team Dynamics:
No team yet.  All of the people identified as potential team members 
have been very good about providing information.  This dynamic 
continues.
