NCOA - returns an active address known to be inccorect - how does your organization handle this issue

A situation has arisen in our NCOA process where we match our current active address information in the banner system against the NCOA database. The result of the NCOA address match has returned information indicating the record in Banner is indicated to be an incorrect address however new address information is unavailable for the individual.

Is it really “Zachman’s Fatal Flaw”?

by Leo de Sousa on 07/12/2010 13:11   0 comments , 27 views
My friend Nick Malik wrote a post - Zachman’s Fatal Flaw: No Row for Customer.  Here is my response … Do I believe that Zachman’s Framework is fatally flawed?  No. It all depends on your perspective and that to me is defined by your EA maturity.  How we view and evaluate models and frameworks depends [...] Related posts:

Taking Mimio’s low-cost, portable Interactive White Board device for a test run

by Kelly Walsh on 06/20/2010 07:56   0 comments , 52 views
This week, I tried out an “Interactive Xi Bar” that the folks at Mimio loaned me. I really liked it. A few months ago I learned about this unique approach to turning a regular white board into an Interactive White Board. The Mimio Bar is easy to use and highly portable - it clips on to a white board or [...]

Paying For International Student Placement Services (Guest Post)

by Keith Hampson on 06/15/2010 14:15   0 comments , 48 views
By Matthew Ulmer Many institutions are beginning to enlist the support of international student placement services, or “agents.”  While this can be an effective method for expanding international outreach and increasing admissions from multiple areas of the world, improper budgeting can hinder recruitment efforts, and even cause a department to be punished for too much [...]

Indaba Music – a great resource for music teachers and students

by Kelly Walsh on 06/13/2010 16:15   0 comments , 56 views
Indaba Music is a wonderful example of how Internet based tools can raise “collaboration” to a level far exceeding what has been possible up to now. Alexandra Stewart from Indaba Music reached out to me and introduced me to this site. I was instantly intriqued, as I am an amateur musician (here’s an example of my work - I wrote [...]

This week, Trent Gilbert and I are at the CIVSA (Collegiate Information and Visitor Services Association) conference at the University of Kentucky.

Where does the money for e-learning come from?

by Tony Bates on 05/30/2010 23:12   0 comments , 72 views

The good news though is that I finished the first draft on Thursday last week. I’ve still got quite a lot of work to do, clearing copyright, [...]
