- Spring 2006 launch with approx. 240 students; orientation planned for use of CERE. Faculty training needed prior to launch. Identify training issues based on instructor reaction to spring quarter. Processes to consider include how to release lecture content - most production of content comes from CALF.
- Creating PDF for .ppt with Acrobat issues: instructors are used to CALF doing this process for them; traditionally, CALF staff are stripping backgrounds, darkening text, doing size reduction processes, and password protection. Desirable to transition to faculty through training and ending support. Want to facilitate real-time posting by faculty. Plan to give help sessions through summer. Encourage use of digital releases to avoid ppt handouts.
- Discussion of image repository investigation: Reviews include DSpace http://www.dspace.org/ and Artesia http://www.artesia.com/.
