- Update on Video project and feedback
- Steve and Oliver shared the latest changes in the draft presentation being prepared for the Council on Educational Technology. Once some additional changes are made, the presentation will be circulated to ACCORD and the video working group for final review. It's expected that the presentation to CET will be made in late September.
- Planning for Sept. 30 Accordiac Meeting
- We brainstormed possible topics for the 9/30 meeting:
- Update on video project
- EdTech Fair
- IS&T's Facult and Student Experience project on creating travel profiles for particular countries
- Image Service Update
- Changes in the Laptop Loaner Program
- Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Computing
- DOS project update
- Update on Institute Wide Task Force Report
- We brainstormed possible topics for the 9/30 meeting:
- Next Steps re core services criteria
- Creation of a value system for the draft matrix that we've created is challenging; should we try a different approach than using a numerical system - maybe categorizing rather than prioritizing? Babi will write up his notes from converstations with Steve Ehrmann from the Teaching, Learning, and Technology Group and share with the group. We decided to discuss what metrics are currently available for each of the services listed on the draft matrix and how we might collect and aggregate them. And we agreed that a key challenge will be to keep the effort simple and manageable.
- Possible agenda for next ACCORD meeting:
- Revisit recommendations from the SOD working group
- Institute Wide Task Force Report
- Feeback from New Faculty Orientation
- Finalize Accordiac Agenda
- Core Service Metrics
Sept. 14, , 2009 - Minutes

- Brainstorm on how to move forward with video capture for GIR's
- Vision – for some set of courses and/or classrooms we have infrastructure and process in place to allow faculty to specify prior to the course that they want their course captured and made available to their students at a very low barrier; available to students would be audio, video, presentations, blackboard capture soon after the class; needs to be at a low cost and simple for faculty to do; reusable; processes for archiving
- Lot’s of policy workflow issues to work through
- Turn key options
- Deploy in more classrooms than fewer to avoid scheduling issues
- Focus on 5 largest rooms where GIRS are currently taught for phase 1 – 26-100, 54-100, 32-123, 10-250, 34-101
- What is the minimal “feature” set required for capture?
- read the blackboard
- Good audio
Wiki Markup Need slides \[synchronized\]
- Talking head
- High definition
Wiki Markup Available to students in quickly \[within 24 hours?\]
Wiki Markup Transcription as part of post processing \[important to itemize as cost factor\]
- Develop cost estimates
- What are backend infrastructure costs?
Wiki Markup Opencast -- contact Mara \[steve will do\]
Wiki Markup Look at 5 rooms listed above \[Peter & Elaine\]; develop options -- low end, high end -- for review that include all aspects of pieces
Wiki Markup Make sure to involve AV \[Lou\]
