Because of the loss of Monday, I found myself back in the hole. Barely got the reflection done. Need to complete this on Monday next week. Also, didn’t start the reflection until Friday. Need to make it a point to get this going on Monday.
Sounds like a good idea from several perspectives:
student engagement via competition
marketing to students in other majors for minor
Few possible obstacles
Not enough students from other majors with complementary skills
Large need for synchronous meetings
Large time commitment
Email sent on 6/12 to Jim to set up meeting for June 24-28
Meeting planned for June 24 from 3-4
Looks like lots of captivates
Need to put together a process to share with him to make this streamlined
Need to have a drupal space created
He probably won’t be able to get me product until August 1
Put in request to IST Helpdesk to create ist402gomc site for Jansen’s course
received notification on 6/26 that this was done
sent a footprints request to set up the site on 6/27 to Ranjani and Will
Will overlayed template on the course
Allison enabled a few pages for course information & made a template syllabus
Amy S contacted Jim on 7/30
Jim got right back & asked about videos from the course, specifically screenr
after consulting with Will & Allison decided b/c of the changeable nature of the course that screenr process to mp4 to embedded in the course would be the best way to go
Jim sounded hesitant about process after I laid out the steps, but it is b/c he’s never done this before. Reassured and asked for feedback to improve process
Note from Jim on 8/8 about where to put content
Repurposed Saab’s 402 for Jim to use
Also asked by Jim about one lesson a week format
Told him to put things together using a topical approach, and we can figure out timing later
Received materials on 8/12 but it needs to be parsed out, added to the couse space, and send feedback to clarify expectations
Need to get this rolling next week.
