Bills Notes
Time: Late September
Length: 800-900 words, or about as long as on in summer IT Times
Audience: Staff and faculty. Some will never have heard of SmartSite; some will know quite a bit about it. This article needs to introduce the service to newcomers, but still inform experienced users.
Points to cover:
- The basics. What it is, why Davis has adopted it, its status as the preferred course management system starting this fall.
- Latest numbers of users, project sites and course sites.
- The demise of the tools in MyUCDavis, starting in a year. Including final grading is not going away.
- How to sign up, learn more or get trained, possibly also as a sidebar of a wicontacts.
- Stories about who's using it, and why, from faculty and staff, plus comments from Siegel. The goal is to display a wide variety of uses.
