Meeting with Joyce Ray

Thank you Diane for sending me your notes from the meeting with Joyce. I am going to post them below my remarks about our next meeting.

1. We need to meet for about 30 minutes to firm up\tweak our proposal. It looks like we can all make it Tuesday March 4th @ 2:00pm. We can meet in the lunchroom area and decide where we should retreat to at that time. 2140?

2. Agenda for Tuesday:

- Please read Diane's notes (see below) from our meeting with Joyce R. and see if there is anything that we need to modify or add.

- Discuss who would be best to take notes at our meetings or should we approve minutes in future discussions?

- How to use this blog. (Room 2140 would be good for this)

- A methodology or scope and sequence of how we should procede from here. We need to agree on how the project should take shape and what is the best method to accomplish this. Come with your ideas of how to procede and what to watchout for.

3. I think we can use this blog as a daily notebook of our progress. I will cut and paste our conversations\work to Joyce once a month as requested.

4. Between now and next Tuesday think about what the methodology\scope and sequence should look like. Here are the links that Tina sent that cover eProfiles pretty well.

Summary of our Title III e-Portfolio Meeting on February 26, 2008 at 3:00 PM in Room 3303 BC MC
Charlie Hannon was unanimously chosen as the Team Leader. The Committee agreed to provide monthly updates to Joyce Ray, OA Coordinator. Before Spring break, the committee plans to meet to formulate a plan of approach. To assist in the formulation of this e-portfolio plan, Tina Dierkes is forwarding a white paper link on e-portfolios. Each committee member agreed to read the paper before the next meeting, which could be as early as Tuesday. Committee members also agreed to review the Title III Project Proposal Guidelines sheet which Joyce provided us with.
One of the outcomes of this project is the new instructional strategies are to be developed. The goal is to tie these strategies to core competencies for fall 2008 and to articulate them in selected course syllabi. The e-portfolio project will be assessed with the results presented in a Title III Assessment Reporting form. In addition, committee results, experiences and findings will be presented to the Outcome Assessment’s General Education Committee in either the summer of 2008 or fall 2008.
Questions and/concerns will be directed to Joyce as needed. The goal of the e-portfolio committee is to have work completed by June, 2008.

Accepted??

Got an email for Joyce Ray summarizing Outcomes Assessment activiy over the past 2 months. One item in the summary was the revealing that 4 proposals were accepted. I have heard through the grapevine that our proposal was one of the four. If I put the two items together I would conclude that our ePortfolio proposal was accepted.

According to Joyce's email, the proposals are targeted for approval during the Spring or Summer semesters of 2008.

Does anyone have an ideas of how we might use some of the Faculty Development $$$?
