Dan - re: Unicon training session last Friday: There were lots of things presented that we don't want to do, and the tools were not taught as SVM would want to teach - i.e., every tool, every function was covered. Learned that not all tools are hooked into each other yet or into gradebook. Student usage - study areas, etc.
Faculty probably not interested in allowing students interaction w/their materials (rWiki.) There is a potential for confusion between sakai internal tools and current UCD tools. SVM needs to firm up their list of tools that
will even be optional and will roll out additional tools as they are vetted as solid and useful to VM. Negative faculty reactions during training over duplicate functionality - faculty have limited time. 8 hrs of training for committed FMF faculty means less training time desirable for regular faculty. Mental workflows don't adapt easily to tool set introduction - too many rabbit trails. "If you're showing this to me, you must want me to use it." SVM will present a simple, short list of tools w/focus on what faculty really need.
Rick - on Captivate demos: has a list of proposed topics; the campus list is very extensive and broad. VM list will be shorter and to the point, focusing on specific needs. Met w/Rick met with Nancy & Chris S. again to discuss the demos; VM versions will be short clips; he's firming up the list.
Jeff @ Berkeley & Merced are very interested in training clips; tool tip documents to be used as initial script for training; clips and will utilize ETP ? students to record from those scripts;
Integrating How to Integrate? Will identify demos in Help files list w/media icon - . Most will be about 2 mins, brief and succinct. Demos, w/ Indiana tips and pdf tool tips all listed together. Probably on an outside side - ETP site, e.g., ET Partners tech tool tips ? Ray - Timeline site. Ray asked about a timeline for creating these clips; Rick - said they will discuss/solidify a timeline in meeting 2 weeks mtg(next week is short.)
Beau - Chris's machine tb prod model; racked at DC, needs config; my down due to rack shuffling yesterday?
