It looks like Wednesday, June 19, 2013 from 2 - 3 PM Eastern Time (New York) works for the majority of those who responded. Below is dial-in information for connecting into the call. If you wanted to participate but cannot make this time please reply back and we'll work to update you after the call. I also plan to take minutes which we'll post after the call. Finally, please note that the list of people who completed the Doodle are below. If you forwarded my prior email to anyone who is not on these lists please send along the meeting information as well.

I'm going to participate in the call if at all possible but if I can't I'll post my feedback as you suggest below (all with the clear understanding that I'm not expecting any ideas to get developed per se). I do also want to highlight this type of work, which I'm starting to see as a type of "design hackathon" or "design pop-up session" focused on very specific needs as something that T&amp;L folks in the community could do on a semi-regular basis. I could see a future where groups, such as the Samigo Team or TCC, post calls for input like this which the T&amp;L group then respond to as means to provide timely and practical feedback. Thanks!

However, while the Samigo BOF has been meeting for almost a full year on redesigning setting, I realized at the conference that there are many who were not on the samigo-team emails and haven't had a chance to give input. So I'd like to set up a day to gather feedback on the design, at least a week before July 2. If you are interested, here is a Doodle poll and I'll try to set up a conference at the best time for the majority. Please answer within one week. Reviewing Samigo (Tests &amp; Quizzes) Settings Redesign (June 24, 25, 26, or 27) http://www.doodle.com/hpkdkbqyryndfc3y If you can't make it, you can still give feedback on the subtasks of SAM-2070 (Consolidate SAMigo settings from 14 categories into four major categories) https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAM-2070 Whether or not you plan to attend, it's probably a good idea to look at the design online and give comments on the subtask JIRA--the latest day for feedback will be June 27. (If you don't have a JIRA account, I guess you could send me an email privately or onlist.) I will say this-- the scope of SAM-2070 is limited to reorganizing existing settings into 4 categories so that users only have to look at 1-2 categories. This will form the base for future improvement, but is not the last word in all the improvements that might be made to settings. Believe me, there is a lot more we could do.* The only question is, is SAM-2070 taking us in the right direction? You can leave comments about how we might go beyond this design, but the type of feedback we are looking for are: 1) quick changes, like better labels, order of presentation within each of the 4 categories or 2) feedback that would question whether SAM-2070 is taking us in a useful direction. Keli Amann User Experience Specialist Academic Computing Services, Stanford University *SAM-2100 and SAM-2141 both allude to things that are out of scope for now, but are in these mockups to show that we are aware that there further improvements that could be made.

I'm following up on what I felt was a very productive discussion at the well-attended Teaching and Learning Gathering that we held on Thursday afternoon last week as the conference was wrapping up. I thought we identified a number of new initiatives that we could engaged on which would be of value to the community as well as some of the past initiatives that we may want to continue and/or expand. In particular, I was very excited by the dialog with members of the Sakai Technical Coordination Committee (TCC) and the suggestions for how we might collaborate more over time. As promised, I'm reaching out post-conference to work to organize a conference call for anyone interested discussing priorities for the Teaching and Learning Group and starting to organize around them. I thought we might start this call with a brief review of the primary topics/ideas that were discussed in San Diego (as means to catch up anyone who was not there) and then focus on which areas there is interest in engaging on. Below is a Doodle we've created to help find a time to connect up, if you are interested in participating please complete this by Wednesday morning if possible. PLEASE COMPLETE THE DOODLE &gt;&gt; http://doodle.com/gbsegc5my5gtgkzm [Times are in Eastern Time (New York)] I do realize that it will be hard to find a time that works well around the world for all in our community. If you find that you cannot make this call due to time zones issues but are interested in the topic please let me know and we'll work to figure out the best way to bring everyone into the dialog. Looking forward to connecting up with everyone, Josh p.s. Only if you are interested, the Teaching and Learning Gathering was recorded and is available at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MrbR_hbizo ----------------------------- Joshua Baron Senior Academic Technology Officer Marist College Poughkeepsie, New York 12601 (845) 575-3623 (work) Twitter: JoshBaron_______________________________________________ pedagogy mailing list pedagogy-BjRK66m5fVy5gssncpSZNGm0pvjS0E/A&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org http://collab.sakaiproject.org/mailman/listinfo/pedagogy TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send email to pedagogy-unsubscribe-BjRK66m5fVy5gssncpSZNGm0pvjS0E/A&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org with a subject of "unsubscribe"</pre> Josh Baron 2013-06-10T18:46:29 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.cms.sakai.pedagogy/1590 <pre>Ken, I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and input on list prior to our meeting.

Unfortunately I am unable to attend Sakai this year, but I am glad that the T&amp;L group is meeting. If I was there, I’d hope that we could somehow re-orient ourselves to the current landscape. Quite a bit has changed since the days before OAE, when we talked about the learning capabilities and design lenses. However, I feel that the process you, David, Lynn, and Clay led us through was really valuable: we started from an anything-goes list of whatever we wanted and narrowed it down through successive iterations to seven overarching concepts. It is tempting to suggest that we do the same thing again, but it is possible that the circumstances are different enough that it would not be as productive. At that point we were focused on one piece of software: the next generation of Sakai. In retrospect, it also entailed a number of assumptions as well, such as a limited range of devices, infrastructure, and instructional approaches. Another assumption was that Sakai was an open collaboration of many freely participating individuals and institutions. At least in my own experience teaching and supporting those who teach (mostly language), while we now have many more options available (Google Apps, MOOC platforms, blog and wiki software, online courses, tablets for check-out, classroom video capture, approved 3rd party services, etc), it is often the case that these don’t work together, or don’t cover all of our needs. Not all institutions are the same, but it does seem that many places are still trying to figure out how the LMS fits into the solutions that they offer to faculty, staff, and students. In addition, all of this is happening while universities themselves are redefining their identities, and their budgets. It might be useful to find different ways to think outside of out of the box software. My own paradigm for doing this is high stakes testing, because it is a big part of what I do. We do tests of spoken and written language that require coordinating not just Sakai, but also physical space, network, hardware and human resources. It is by no means a perfect system, but we are slowly finding ways to improve it without just contracting out to Pearson or someplace else. As I constantly tell people, if we say anything about the potential of instructional technology, we have to be thinking about a way to get rid of all of the blue books that are used on college campuses. There are certainly other ways to approach this (learning analytics and portfolios come to mind), but it might be useful to loosen our focus on the LMS just a bit in an effort to see get a better idea of how to move forward. My guess is that it will have as much to do with partnerships, protocols, and privacy, but I am sure that there are many other perspectives. This certainly isn’t something that is going to be solved in a 45 minute session, but I am hopeful that the T&amp;L group can be a place to start.

On Monday afternoon there will be an exciting round-robin Networking Cafe where you can find and meet like-minded attendees to share ideas and work together on common issues. On Wednesday afternoon we've cleared the deck right after lunch so you can break away and work together on projects. * Lightning Talks: There will be several opportunities for YOU to share your insights and best practices using Apereo and open source solutions. On Tuesday and Wednesday, in the late afternoon, there will be open spaces for short 5-7 minute lightning talks. We'll have a room dedicated to "teaching" and a room dedicated to "developing." Sign-ups will be at the conference and open to all! * Project Talks: On Monday morning, we'll offer a series of quick project talks. If you are new to Apereo, these sessions will offer a quick overview of each of the major projects, what they are about, and how you can benefit and get involved. * Collaboration Space: Each year we offer a dedicated room for collaboration. This room will be open throughout the conference for drop-in work. After an exciting presentation, keep the momentum going! Jump into the collaboration room and knock out a project plan, whip up that code, and compete with your peers on the fastest check-ins! * Social Events: For this year's conference, we are planning a number of social events that will let you get to know other attendees in a fun and casual setting. Some of these events have a limited capacity and are offered on a "first come, first served" basis. Many have deadlines to sign-up by May 27, so we encourage you to visit the social events page&lt;http://conf2013.apereo.org/events&gt; for details, and then sign-up for an event as soon as you've registered for the conference. * Pre-Conference Workshops: There are many great opportunities to dive into specific projects to gain in-depth knowledge about launching and using popular solutions like Sakai, uPortal, eportfolios, CAS, uMobile, portlets, and Grouper. Several of the workshops are free, so don't miss this opportunity! * And it's all happening in sunny, beautiful San Diego, California!

We read about the lack of young women choosing computer science as a major, at a time when we need more graduates in technical fields. The news tells us about the challenges women face in technology careers, such as the Adria Richards incident at PyCon. Finally, Sheryl Sandberg has started a national conversation with her book Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead . What are the challenges facing women seeking careers in information technology? What can we do about it, together? And does it matter? Let's explore our roles in attracting and retaining the best talent to our profession - male or female. Theresa Rowe is currently the Chief Information officer at Oakland University, a position she has held since 2002. Rowe has been at Oakland University since 1990, where she has served as a Senior Systems Analyst, the Manager of Student Information Systems and Director of Information Systems before stepping into her current role. Rowe is active with EDUCAUSE and other organizations focused on technology in higher education. Some of her project experience includes creating a ten year network plan, upgrading data-center facilities, implementation of two ERP systems, and implementing an open-source portal. She has a lot of experience and insight to share! Come to Open Apereo 2013 to learn from Theresa Rowe and many of your peers in higher education.

Syllabi tend to be lengthy and somewhat overwhelming, especially in fully online courses. The proposed functionality would help students quickly find assignment and due date information without having to scroll through a lengthy document or open a separate schedule page or document.

This would make it easier for students to find what they are looking for in the Syllabus.
