How many times has this happened to you? A student comes up to you and asks, "How is my digital identity assured, and can I use my campus user ID and password to seamlessly review my federal loans?" Do you know how to answer? Are you unsure about what a digital identity is all about? Interested in learning about the major concepts and terms of identity management, why it's important, and how the data flows from source systems to applications? If you are new to this topic or would like an overall map of where the pieces fit at an institutional level, consider registering for this nontechnical preworkshop seminar.
This session will include overviews answering these questions:
- What is digital identity?
- What is the identity life cycle?
- What are the primary reasons for implementing identity-related services?
- What is federated identity and why is it important to student services?
- How can I talk with my IT counterpart about identity management?
- What terms are used?
This preworkshop seminar is intended to provide a more in-depth introduction to the topics covered at CAMP, offer you a chance to develop your own big picture of identity, and prepare you to participate more fully at the primary workshop.
