Ongoing Projects:
- Updating google spreadsheet for Fall ’12
- Created a new end of the semester survey for Spring ’12 & received good feedback from the team before implementation
- Completed sending these out on 6/18
- Not getting much feedback at all
- I thought that making this asynchronous in nature would make for greater participation, but it’s probably better to hold meetings to get the feedback
- Also probably best to focus on courses of need
- I started thinking that maybe I should create examples in Captivate that I could push out to faculty to get feedback to get the ball rolling
- Started the process of replacing links in Fall ’12 spaces for the syllabus
- Working on Fall ’12 Courses listed above
Immediate Decisions / Issues:
-
