         Updating syllabi & content in drupal, especially MSDNAA & Virtual Labs section

Immediate Decisions / Issues:

         Would like to have a better working knowledge of…

o   Kaltura

o   Jaycut

Some things that I learn this week:

         In drupal to get all of the users in alphabetical order, click on username

         If a user gets an error in my browser for drupal, have them try another to fix

         If the camry doesn’t allow the key to turn, press on the brake and turn the wheel. This unlocks the key to turn. This happens when the wheel is turned to sharply before turning off the vehicle

Back Burner:

         Gaming, Simulations, and Virtual World Research Committee

         May be taking vacation on Wednesday (11/23/11)

Welcomed a new designer to the IST team, Kent Matsueda.Great to be working with him again. Looking forward to moving the program forward and working with him on many projects to come.

Had staff retreat today at the BJC. Alot of fun and good to connect with colleagues from around IST.
