VetMed Developer's Meeting
Development Update
Scott - current status
Need to work on gradebook mapping for grade mode per course,.e.g., p/np (pass/no pass), letter grades, etc.
After Atlanta, would like to meet w/VM team for review and to plan code additions/enhancements for evaluation tool and for enhancements/changes for other non-eval issues. Suggested a planning/whiteboard/brainstorm session on needed changes for winter/spring quarters.
Ray noted that VM may possibly deploy Sakai v2.4 in summer session 2 in August, so review for this release should be factored in.
Phil - current status
Currently working on instructor view for evaluation tool.
Ray needs to setup an email to notify faculty users about how to access their evaluations via the new tool. He would like to include a URL path in the email for easy access by faculty. Developers comment a URL may not be available (URL is not generated until faculty views the page?). Scott/Phil will investigate what info is available for Ray's email.
Ray needs to view response data after evaluations are closed. Phil asked for specs for batch report for evals - Ray will go over this offline w/Phil.
Phil and Scott will give a Thursday evening tech demo at Atlanta on their eval tool; will get help from other team members to create a poster for the event.
Ray asked the programmers to investigate (during the conference) repository use at other schools, e.g., Princeton's repositories, and library integration.
Sakai oversite committee suggested integration presentation - pulling separate datasources on campus together
Ray - After qtr need to sit down w/Kirk & campus team re: crossover and faculty issues.
