Mapping Institute of Fine Arts Alumni is an online interactive map that visualizes the international reach of the Institute of Fine Arts’ alumni. The map uses d3.js to manipulate our alumni data set. Now, visitors to our website can locate the current employment status of over 1,000 active IFA alumni.
Mapping IFA Alumni can be used as a recruitment tool. For example, prospective students can see how many museum directors worldwide were educated at the Institute, or what percentage of our alumni work in conservation. The map can also be used by our current students and alumni to find each other when they travel the globe visiting museums.
This project was a collaboration between the IFA’s Web and Electronic Media Manager, Jason Varone, and a student in NYU’s ITP program, Sagar Mohite. Sagar graduated last semester.

LITS Box / Google Drive Migrations
Library ITS is piloting a project to migrate departmental data to NYU Box, a secure content sharing and collaboration service. Currently, departmental data is maintained on Library servers/network and remote access is challenging. Box is especially suited for storing sensitive and restricted data. Users can assign collaborators and levels of access. Staff gain cloud- based access to their content, including from mobile devices.
Library ITS is migrating staff personal drives to Google Drive via Google’s sync tool and Group Policies. Google Drive makes document and project collaboration easy. As with NYU Box, staff gain cloud- based access to their content, including from mobile devices.
Steinhardt Technology Services
A framework for technology enhanced education
Review this ‘outcomes focused’ poster which explores the Course Innovation Grant program at Steinhardt. The goal of the Course Innovation Grant program (CIG) was to enhance existing courses with technology within at least one of these themes: adaptation of course delivery (online, hybrid, f2f), creation of student-centered environments, and integration assessments (formative and/or summative). Using this framework, the Steinhardt Technology Services team successfully enhanced 12 courses with technology in 8 weeks.
