Ian was the guest at the meeting.  RE: LIS Web Team and the curricular resources presence on the LIS website.

• part 1: what key terms do we want to turn up which results?
• part 2: develop the resources that you land on after the search.
• Us: figure out landing pages, presentation.  Develop a process.
• Ian: Will assist with interoperability  of systems.
• Ian will find out how the team can have access to Google analytics so we can determine which of our current web resources is most used.
• Brian will send out to team the project manager workbook and url inventory sheet.

In tackling this, we should think about:

• How to target our audiences (faculty, students, staff) (i.e. as a single group, as separate groups, as overlapping groups…)
• How to determine definitive sources of documentation
• How to contextualize documentation so it is where people need it and is surrounding by related content
• How to distinguish “how to” documentation from “what can I do” documentation

Essentially we’ll need to get an inventory of all the CT related content we have and review it.  Ultimately, what the LIS website team needs is the specifications for a CT “landing page” which would be appear for searches of “curricular technology” (and presumably synonyms such as “educational” and “academic” technology) as well as appearing on the customized search results page for searches of “LIS”

Great work Ian!

Discussed the survey questions.

Newly added:

• Opening paragraph
• Are you Humanities, Languages , etc.  (Divs)
• Whom do you want to access/participate your course site?

We’ll finish this in next meeting.

• Can’t upload large files.
  • Recommendations: use Segue, classes folders, Docutek.
• cForms inhibits the upgrade in WP.
  • Best of breed vision should be followed to alleviate this issue.  Make WP be the best blogging platform instead of its being held hostage to data collection feature that has been grafted on.

Recommendations for course websites for fall semester posted to various blogs (including this one).

Discussion about how to gather information from faculty.

• surveys?
  • what are your needs?
  • not “let’s look at moodle, drupal, etc. and tell us what has the feature set you like.”
• informal conversations?
• Information-gathering strategy? (Joe)

Action Item: Survey.

• Alex will set up in google spreadsheet.
• Think of ways to gather the information
• LIS Advisory Groups?

It looks like WP supports non-roman characters.

How?

Tag the item “for:ctteam” so it goes to the ctteam Delicious account.

This session requires no technical knowledge of our website, content management systems, or programming, but is a great opportunity for you to ask questions on those topics.
