3. Debriefing from ELI (Matt)
I met with Stacy Morrone and John Gosney from IUPUI.
- Repository: They are building OnCourse Minutes (YouTube style overviews of practices/tools)
- If we use tags, confluence could become a place to define and negociate them, in order to develop a common vocabulary.
- Templates:
- John suggested to have an outside tool that would prompt the professor in order to help them build a syllabus. The professor would then copy and paste the HTML page in Resources. Could become a unique external and internal resource (instead of having multiple instances of the same syllabus in different systems).
- The Calendar tool could be the first screen. Would need to show the month instead of the week as a default.
- #* We all agreed that we would need a WYSIWYG HTML editing tool that could easily link to other tools in Sakai (Resources, Assignments, Learning modules in Melete, Announcements, etc.)
- My blog entry about Twitter and job aids.
- Tiny bits must be indexed to be searchable.
