Next Steps

  • Many overlaps that should help us come with something for 3.x
  • Interest in sakai 3 or 2?
    • interest in hybrid at CSU; provide input into sakai3
    • what is contract w/student; what are parts in tool that need to be tied down
    • csu - contractual document, once published, fairly tied down; policy-driven, top-down implementation
    • uva - generally interested in providing input in 3.x; faculty are involved in decision-making; we are using 2.x; hoping to make syllabus more efficient and full-featured in 3.0;
    • uva - 2 things to carry forward: instructional dashboard to construct learning experiences; flexibility; looking to learn more about 3.0
    • berkeley/stanford - syllabus is one of the most important tools; something more interactive as a jumping off point for designing learning opportunities; will be doing research analysis, info gathering, etc to pass off to design team; starting from the roadmap phase 2, 3, 4 (syllabus is in phase 3); hope to be involved at that point in the roadmap; this group will help to provide the input their looking to put forward; may need to hightlight features included in the wireframe
    • toolkit - methodologies/technologies used to make sure requirements are right for design process; to be shared with sakai 3 steering committee
    • philip - design process comments: link to design model from manage probject page in confluence; how to get input from wider community; touch base with alan marks
    • final decisions will be made by the project leadership team
    • HEC - opensyllabus for 2.x - contribute ideas for use in sakai3; similar needs/features as CSU; learning activities as separate component?; need examples of things faculty want to do
  • could rethink how we do things in sakai3; being exposed to ideas may reveal how to bring this about in sakai3
  • syllabus tool? what is different about subject outline and syllabus?
    • subject outline mirrors syllabus content essentially; what topics will be and how they will be assessed and requirements - not necessarily the activities involved in the class? official contract with students
  • new column for activities on confluence
  • also syllabus provides a component that provides general course description for general consumption, not the classroom itself; this may be considered separate from the syllabus; the interactive component is not standard but is made possible by the technology
  • sakai 3 lends itself to much more integrative, flexible approach
  • access options: public v private up to the instructor - can these decisions translate to the institution?
  • semantic is needed for institutional reporting purposes; flexibility needed to allow instructor creativity
    • need both of these aspects in the design for sakai3
  • sakai3 is public by default! more open direction
    See Future directions site on sakaiproject as well as michael korcuska's presentation on sakai3 - see Themes slide for overaching goals

Try to avoid instructors creating so many templates that studnets are confused.
