Technology Lite

Mary and Mike are leading this one -

Decisions are made in the many online forums - being involved in the confluence site to be apart of the community development process

nitle sakai listserv - join by emailing karen.davis@nitle.org

Issues of the equation editor -
- Private wiki pages - Hack the permissions (available on the front end)  might be an option for the the just in time teaching
- look at a better html editor to plug in as a cartridge - Longsight job...

WebCT Converters group on http://collab.sakaiproject.org

Perhaps we would look at an advisory committee
- to ask people what they are having trouble with.. 

Google Doc API - keep an eye out for developments on this

Integration API - how far away is that...

One of the benefits of an LMS is the equity of everyone on campus having access

Back door to get the webdav from the drop box..

Timeline tool from Whitman

Started in the spring of 2007 - Will finish fall 2008

Goal was to create a graphical multi author simile timeline
-features of the tool is instructor control
-form submissions
-picture upload
-improved display
-Anonymous print view
-sortable list view of time
-security of Sakai authentication

Timeline was brought into the classroom through a foam board
- viewable by other classes
- students outside of course posted relevant info to the physical timeline

My Questions:
When you are done is this something that will be offered to the community - Release in August to those who want to use it. 
Is this something that only works in Sakai?  Only sakai at this point but might have future with Moodle or other...

What was the reaction to the addition from the outsiders?

Action steps -
Bring this to Longsight

Mt Holyoke
- is using a project site to manage the project of maintaining Sakai. 
- used my workspace to be the introduction into sakai from webct

- student think of previous courses in much the same way as text books - historical resources
- encourage faculty to take advantage of the unpublish option

Whitman
- faculty don't want students to have access to prior courses as they don't want students to copy and paste.
- interest in sharing exceptional courses or exceptional pieces of a course

Allegheny
- looking for an equation editor that the physics faculty will like  jsmath for the wiki mathematica export as tec
