Reviewed new adds to the list:
Evaluation System:
- Offer comment line for instructor (eg. Gina Davis - Small Animal handling
session) to help identify individuals for evaluatee.
CREST:
- Fix the show IP Grading
- Drop select controls and grey text when items are not valid selections
Database:
- Handle exceptions for nightly updates - append to local tablespace.
- Rearchitect nightly updates to allow for more frequent updates (30-minutes or
hourly). Ray - currently takes 15-20 minutes for Banner/PPS/Mothra nightly
update. Rewrote code to minimize to about 2 minutes; will implement shortly.
- Develop role management to allow for local roles, guests, CE and Open Campus
students. Ray has done some preliminary work on defining VM roles matrix which
team reviewed.
- Ilios checks UCDMain; modify so that if course description not found, check for
it in UCDCAF (note: per Ray, probably won't exist here either.) Often for
research or independent study courses
Need mechanism for defining and pulling in courses w/o students where sites are
desired by faculty, generally resident courses (ending with R)
Additional Notes
- Ray will be meeting w/Kirk re:collaboration efforts with IET. Dave will be
posting Captivate files.
- Need to work on Help files for CREST and evaluation system (for admins).
