Current Status

  • Study of Samigo, at Stanford:  Current Status of Tests & Quizzes Documentation (R. Hill) 
  • Why is it so hard to document the portfolio tools?  (R. Hill, relying on S. Keesler)
  1. Because we're too lazy to learn the skills clearly designated as necessary; we want documentation to reveal the effort-free path.
  2. Because the Help files are written to an audience (faculty at Indiana) that understands the entire context.
  3. Because Sean's comprehensive documents on Confluence are found in different branches of the hierarchy.
  4. Because there is no visible intermediate result that affords the author a self-check of progress.
  5. Because there are assumed procedures and scenarios that hide restrictions.
  6. Because portfolios, insofar as they capture the essence of learning, are inherently complex objects.
