Eval status - Scott, Phil
Modified to be single tool (instead of 2 tools)
Eval reports include student view and instructor view
Instructor can see all their course evals in one report
Course templates for next quarter:
Next deploy will collapse the tools specifically for the next term; current
deploy doesn't support questions for template w/o restructuring the tools.
Ready for Jan to enter questions; want to hold off on deployment for after she's
completed the data entry next Tuesday. New functions include evaluation creation
process by term. Sychronizing with calendar is a web service and can be deployed
separately from the upcoming code upgrade.
Conflict btwn systems? CREST calendaring event in didn't exist in CERE; added
more error handling to check for these types of differences, i.e., exception is
thrown when event exists in CREST but not in CERE.
Calendar update in single transction (to catch these exceptions)? Batch
completion takes considerable time to complete. Will see if new e.h. helps with
this process.
Permission-based links provide access to eval admin (including SU access) various
template access levels, first school, second department, for entering templates
and/or viewing reports.
Servers - Beau
Programmers replicating my db data on local machines for development. Need to
apply Soundex to name and email since user identification fields on mobile
machines must be scrambled (compliance with UC restrictions on data.)
Hibernate mapping needs to be changed, once the prod systems checks are completed
per Ray.
Training - Dave
Media server directory structure and setup are working; content moved over.
Help file and pending support site. Team has talked about faculty support, i.e.,
user admin capabilities.
Possibly a generalized site outside of CREST and CERE combining all help
information needed by VM faculty & staff for multiple systems. Centralized Help
system.
Help content development - Chris
Proposed course status - what can/cannot be modified for newly proposed courses
not fully validated yet.
ID/EID conversation pending with campus deployment team.
Discussion of various cases where user identification is confused, i.e., former
students returning in a position, etc.
Harvest Road/Hive demo pending for February
