Minutes
The minutes from the January 15 meeting were distributed for review and approval.

Update on the Classroom Building

  • Lois and Victor noted that a "go ahead" was given to mockup the 600-seat classroom.
  • The Classroom building is one of Governor Kitzhaber's top construction funding priorities.
  • Legislative approval is anticipated this summer.


Update on gMail transition
Plans to announce the transition to gMail are to be put in place by Spring Break.

  • Undergraduates will be migrated first as a "forced" move in Fall 2013.
  • Everyone will have access to Google Apps and Google Drive.
  • Login credentials will be separate from user’s personal accounts.
  • Faculty/staff migration is still under study with regard to retention of pre-existing email.


Update on SafeAssign
Lynn and Stefanie spoke at Faculty Senate about SafeAssign.

  • No major pushback from those in attendance.
  • Noted that it should be on for Spring Term.
  • Stu noted that Ecampus has also announced SafeAssign as being available Spring Term.
  • TAC has a "marketing plan" in place for getting the word out on SafeAssign
  • Stefanie requested any ideas for getting information out the faculty and students on SafeAssign.


Update on Photo Rosters

  • Amy noted a need to address campus-wide app standards and accessibility.
  • Anticipating a Fall 2014 release.


Action item: Revisit Photo Rosters (why have a mobile app, integration with the online photo class list already on Online Services, opt-in vs. opt-out, etc.) and have questions answered by Jon and Malcolm.

Update on LMS presentations

  • Dianna Fisher and Cheryl Middleton plan to have vendors present their products this academic year.
  • The CRC should compile a list of common items would like to see/ask/learn of all presenting vendors (as it's unlikely to have full attendance at every presentation).
  • Invite Dianna and Cheryl to a future (March?) CRC meeting to discuss the plans, timeline and process for vendor presentations.
  • Recommend that the CRC indicate its desire to support and assist in the process.


TRF Showcase

  • Stefanie and Stu met with Kevin Gable to see if the CRC was meeting its objectives.
  • Suggested that, since the CRC is involved in Instruction and Technology, perhaps the CRC could facilitate a "TRF Showcase".
  • The showcase could be run like a poster session to get people excited about TRF projects.
  • Students could better understand and see how some of their fees are being used to improve instruction and technology access on campus.
  • Could provide a forum by which proposers with common interests/projects could connect.
  • Should not be a major time burden to the CRC.
