At the Internet2 Global Summit last week in Chicago, a group of three dozen senior leaders from member universities shared insights and best practices for implementing cloud solutions in higher education. Shel Waggener, Alan Fishel, Jerry Grochow and I led a "how to cloud" workshop aimed at helping attendees understand a “cloud strategy” and how to develop one, articulate the challenges and techniques of procuring cloud services; recognize the importance of legal agreements for cloud services; analyze some common legal terms and concepts; avoid negotiation mistakes; and learn about how community efforts through the Internet2 NET+ program help.
