VetMed Developer's Meeting
CREST - Chris
View tool looks at course-related data and facility scheduled data which will replace existing view (course only) in 2.0 release.
EVALUATION - Phil, Scott
Issue found prior to recent deployment, but not addressed yet. Issue is limited in scope and affects the instructor question level. If the instructor is changed during the evaluation form creation process, the screen does not update automatically. Only the instructor of record gets instructor-specific questions, so the ior questions need to be reassigned to the new ior upon update (currently not re-assigned to new instructor automatically.) Other instructors get brief rather than detailed questions on the evaluation form.
Will need to schedule a patch to correct for this issue, plus some taking eval submission logic, and a template deletion error fix.
System patch and restart after fix has been tested is scheduled for Thursday, October 5th @ 5pm.
QA testing on Friday, October 6th.
Ray will contact Roger McDonald and Jan and ask them to complete creation of their evaluation forms by Friday, October 6th; plan to release evaluations for students to take by Monday, October 9th.
Auto-generation of Evaluation tool on students menu? Scott will implement via Java in Sakai to upload with the Thursday patch or in Sakaiscript (not required as a patch release.)
Final housekeeping on evaluations - need to delete unwanted templates from database.
SYSTEMS - Beau
Update for patch for printable schedule pending; ColdFusion now loaded on media server.
PROCESS ISSUES
Chris & Dave get calls from instructors asking that they add users into their courses, i.e., auditing students and university extension. No access via provider since they are not enrolled. Do not show up in Banner. No ability to audit or maintain these users over time.
Provision for user model? Possibly expiring users? Issues w/manual process of adding users and users being in the system forever. Expiring student who drop out of class/school. KName changes?
Enrollment is based on checkbox in SiteInfo. Winter clean-up between Sakai and provider based on student role? Mechanism and maintenance list for users outside the provider? Issues of exposed materials to users who instructor has requested access to?
Desire to identify difference between provider added and manually added users. Long term issues of access to CERE for ever-increasing pool of users. Cutoff point? X years?
Need to review and determine scope of issue before making decision for fixing.
Issues of new user information in CERE and CREST as well.
Scheuling fo CRON jobs shifting to between 3am-4am followed by other update processes.
CREST implementation of users uses termcode. Need to resolve story about users across various systems for consistent usage.
