Attendees: Holly, Camille, Michael, Nick (phone) Mary (guest), Kathy (guest), Jon (guest), Howard (guest)
Administrative
- Mary asked Nick if he would co-chair the committee with Michael...Nick agreed.
- Name change from Instructional Technology Committee to Learning Technologies Committee
Concept
- Mary, Kathy, Jon and Howard each provided some background on how this committee was formed
- Not necessarily about classroom technology
- think of this group as experts @ Mann --> committee was designed to be the de facto group for subject-based learning (working with subject librarians)
Charge?
- Undefined at the start
- Mary: I think it's easy for a committee like this (open-ended) to not have direction...meet every month but what do we discuss?
- Kathy: Yes, I'd like to see the cycles of education and the group's recommendations in written form
Membership
- What is our sentence? How can the committee cycle and rotate in new members?
- As we begin our discussions, we might realize that we need to pull certain people in
Action Items
- Formulate our charge through series of discussions and brain storming sessions
- Come back to Admin Council in late Feb/early March with our charge
- In the meantime, focus on Bissett Space?
Bissett Space
- How are people using it now?
- Rearrange the furniture?
- It's too dark in there (Comment from faculty member via Howard?)
Miscellaneous
- Kathy: We should be sure to make the right people @ CALS aware of this group's effort (funding)
- How can we fill the void we're left with the lack of A/V staff person?
- User Testing --> Sebastian Carello has multiple licenses for Morae (looking for a place to install them)
