Process update

We have hired a summer student to work with our LMS team. Her name is Tiffany Neal. Tiffany starts next week and will be doing low level support and course creation for WebCT/LearnLink as well as helping out with the LMS evaluation. She is a third year Life Sciences student and will be with us until the end of August. Welcome Tiffany!

WebCT summer course requests are still coming in and our staff have started to collate and compare the survey data as well as the RFI vendor data in preparation for a ranking of the RFI submissions according to the expressed needs of our LMS community. I have also started working on an RFP framework for the next stage of the selection process and have been meeting with Deans and dept. chairs in order to update them and get them involved in the process.

I would also like to introduce the newest member of the committee. He is an undergraduate student by the name of Po Ko. Po is a second year Social Sciences student pursing a combined honours in Political Science and Communications Studies. Welcome Po! I envision our next committee meeting to be in late June but that is flexible and contingent on our workload and ability to complete the data analysis and research necessary for you to make an informed decision regarding which products should continue in the process.
