VM 6/6/07
Eval
Phil - Deployed Eval last night; 50% of tasks completed.
- Switching to Ray's table for looking up photos; CERE authentication does not clear authentication on current server - will pass through when pointing to media server; will repoint and then requires a restart; need to verify sizing parameters based on standard thumbnail; both evaluation and preview use this code to display.
- Validation rules - student has completed intructor eval
- Email functionality - generates receipt to student that completed eval is received, now working; will log event as well for tracking questionable transactions
Expect to wrap up in another week. Phil requests another round of QA prior to closing out 1.5 version
Need to consider timing for integrating Eval into 2.4 version
Expects to be available for MERC meeting next week
VM Grading Requirements
Main campus has announced no plans to incorporate SCANTRON grades submitted to TRC for electronic upload into Sakai's Gradebook
VM will work on local method to interface w/Gradebook tool to upload TRC's returned Excel file; Chris will define a use case. Scott will work on tool.
Servers
Beau - Successfully converted database through migration process to 2.4; need to setup a 2.4 machine so that John can work on CSS as well as Beau's work needs.
Scott voiced concern about not having multiple servers to support 2.1.x and 2.4 concurrently - current setup requires switchover from one to the other in the dev/test environments.
Training
Dave - Apple media asset db, FinalCut server - will not fit current needs;
iTunes issues based on UCOP sign-off where media must be public.
