An open discussion list for topics related to the eduGAIN interfederation service.

[Nick Roy <nroy AT internet2.edu>]

Surveys (services like Qualtrics)
Access to visual materials (Artstor - although they are about to get their metadata booted from InCommon for not meeting Baseline Expectations)
CILogon (I bet there are use cases addressed by it that are beyond the big research ones we typically think about)
Streaming classroom video (Kaltura, Panopto others)
Student behavior management (Maxient)
Campus safety alerts (Rave Mobile Safety, e2Campus)
Student authentication to cable TV (Comcast)
Detection of plagiarism (Turnitin)
Homework assignments (WebAssign)

I could go on and on based on the list on the right side of this page: https://www.incommon.org/participants/

Unfortunately some of the companies listed as participants only pay lip-service to federation, or don’t even publish metadata, so some further exploration with actual campus customers of the services would be needed.

Hi All

I’ve been asked to work on a set of example use cases of where federated IAM / eduGAIN is being used to create a set of example slides that can be slotted into presentations.  We often talk about the big science uses cases (we love you LIGO) but there is also a lot of use in more prosaic ways that is massively useful but perhaps not sold as well as it should be to demonstrate the breadth of use.  

We’ve some stories here: https://edugain.org/edugain-users/.  

Some of the other areas I’d like to add:

 - Filesender.

 - Access to e-journals.

 - Jisc Student Voter registration. 

 - Student discounts. 

Do people have other examples they think would be good to promote and would you be willing to help me create a simple slide on the use case?

Many thanks

Nicole
