VetMed Developer's Meeting
Chris/Dave - Reported on recent CERE student feedback meeting with (a) student in attendance.
User experience the primary complaints:
- students annoyed with extra tabs - not seeing instructions; possibly need Quick Tips more prominently displayed
- Help files universally ignored...
- Some students have difficulty seeing "Login" on initial exposure to the application. After use, no longer a problem.
Other internal notes:
- Need to update gateway text for pending fall launch. Use iFrame or something that will allow quick updates of text rather than requiring a server restart
Chris - Working on use cases and wireframe designs. Need to determine of goals for scheduling/Ilios for Fall
Rick - Has Captivates for review; received some feedback, e.g., faculty frustrated at not being able to resort Resources; jira bug noted on this issue. Noted that version 2.x may have different Resource functionality. Currently, Resources are sortable by name or by date - can create hierarchy by name (folders)
client saw 20MB warning message although file did upload
team will do additional testing re: spurios error messages
will be doing Captivate on WebDav and alert faculty to this method
Movies stored on media server
some reviewers dislike scalable movies due to possible bluriness
loadtesting - different possibilities
Best practices, recommended routines for using sakai coming into question
Beau/Chris/Rick - e.g., course archiving-set user roles to audit 3-4 weeks post; procedures for copying content into new quarter - use case suggests duplication of content - Resources, websites,etc.; also, request-based course setup (some faculty w/early needs) to mimic import tool setup; archive courses at 4-year mark as well; use cases about 50-50 re: blank course or content loaded on generation;
Beau - media server in setup as nsf/samba server; possbly dav; rich media will sit here and be accessible as network mounted content to CERE courses; url-referenced vs. WebDav sakai method discussion:
issues - multi-course content, or content not strictly identified w/course; internet connectivity requirements? content currently distributed on multiple systems; centralizing content pieces; pipe is 100MBx2 - load considered about 60 concurrent users;
