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

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
