[Using Sakai] Marist College's Enterprise Computing MOOC Running on Sakai 2.9

[Josh Baron]

Colleagues,

On Monday, July 8, 2013 Marist College will launch our first MOOC (Massive 
Open Online Course), titled Introduction to Enterprise Computing, using 
the Sakai CLE 2.9 with a slimmed down tool set that includes Lesson 
Builder.  The MOOC has been developed by our Institute for Data Center 
Professionals which is part of our School of Computer Science and 
Mathematics and is the first in a series of MOOCs we will be experimenting 
with over the coming academic year.

Below is more information on the MOOC and how to register.  Please feel 
free to distribute this to others as it is open to the public (and free).

FYI, Josh

Introduction to Enterprise Computing MOOC
=====================================
This course provides an introduction to concepts of Enterprise Computing. 
In particular, it focuses on the role of the System z hardware and its 
primary operating system z/OS in an Enterprise Computing environment. The 
introductory topic provides an overview of Enterprise Computing in 
general. This is followed with an introduction to the System z enterprise 
server hardware and its operating system, z/OS. Enterprise computing 
involves many different types of workloads; for example, transaction 
processing, business intelligence, end user interactive computing, web 
serving, data serving, batch, and many others. This short course will 
provide an overview of two very important Enterprise Computing workloads: 
end user interactive computing (TSO/ISPF and USS) and batch processing and 
their related technologies.
