Course Management Project Update Marc Brierley
Course Management WG Who are we? • Stanford - Marc Brierley (PM and interaction designer), Daisy Flemming (developer) • U of Arizona - Duffy Gillman (PM and developer) • UC Berkeley - Oliver Heyer (PM), Josh Holzman (lead developer), Daphne Ogle & Judy Stern (interaction designers)
Who are we (also)? • Stanford - Lydia Li (developer) • Oracle/IMS - Linda Feng • Also. . . – Mark Norton – Ray Davis
Glossary • SIS - Student information system (e. g. Oracle’s Campus Solutions, Banner, homegrown, etc. ) • Section - grouping of students enrolled with the registrar, delivered via SIS lecture, discussion, lab, etc.
Why? • Needed to support more complex course structures – For integration – Reflected within tools
Course Structure Patterns Examples
Course Structure Patterns Examples
Progress (!) • 2. 2 – team formation – project definition – user research – requirements gathering – 1 st round API and service design completed – 1 st round Hibernate Impl complete
Progress • 2. 3 – UI framework agreed upon (Pinto+) – 1 st round UI design documents completed • 2. 3 implementation – Stanford implementing API locally – UCB assembling data sources based on draft schema
Next phase: Sub-projects • With the Course Management API & Service being implemented and UI framework settled, the CM WG has decided to break down the project into CM -related tool design and development. • Goal: Make tools “CM-aware”; able to take advantage of more robust SIS (student info system) data
2. 4 Roadmap • UC-Berkeley – Section Info – Gradebook – Roster (The Roster tool will be a collaboration with IU. )
2. 4 Roadmap • Stanford & U of Arizona – Site Info/Worksite set-up - changes to the new course site wizard – Course Browser Tool - admin tool (Duffy Gillman) – Course Homepage Tool new tool
Section Info • Represent and manage course hierarchies/section memberships • Enhanced filtering capabilities • Instructor option to toggle between self and SIS-managed sections
Gradebook • Configurable course grade export • Student enrollment and grading status (e. g. , Pass/Not Pass). Optionally exposed in UI? (These are the CM-related requirements)
Roster • • Represent course/site hierarchies Filtering capability on Sections/Groups Roster export Display additional member data, e. g. , enrollment status
Site Info/Worksite set-up (course sites) • Show sections in their proper hierarchies for easy selection while: – Creating a new course site – Editing a course site’s sections (rosters)
Course Browser Tool (admin tool) • Admins/Support staff need to look up Section/Roster IDs in order to edit sites in Sites
Course Homepage Tool (new tool) • Provide a landing page more suitable for courses • Pre-populate with SIS data (e. g. section/meeting info) • Allow instructors to include other course information
