Technology
and Higher Education
Dr. Pack is
the University representative to EDUCAUSE, the Coalition for Networked
Information, and the National Learning Infrastructure Initiative.
He founded the Learning Technology Consortium, a group of nine universities
that meet regularly to share best practices in this area and to
develop common approaches. Dr. Pack was instrumental in the establishment
within the University of the Center for Instructional Development
and Distance Education (CIDDE), which provides an extensive array
of services to faculty to assist them in developing more effective
approaches to instruction.
From 1998
to 1999 Dr. Pack served as interim Director of Computing and Information
Services, during which time he coordinated strategic information
technology planning and budgeting within the University. In that
capacity, he led the effort to prepare the University's IT Master
Plan. Dr. Pack speaks frequently on the issue of the changes in
higher education that result from the growing impact of technology.
Dr. Pack
chaired the university-wide CERMIS Committee, which recommended
the implementation of the newly instituted portal my.pitt.edu,
and proposed
the establishment of the student information data warehouse. He
now serves as Project Director for PeopleSoft Student Administration
System Implementation. For information on

Dr. Pack is a member of the Pitt-UPMC Joint Policy Advisory Committee
on Network Security. He also serves as the University's Privacy
Officer to ensure compliance with the HIPAA regulations regarding
medial records.
