SCCS Meeting notes 2000

March 21, 2000

The first part of the meeting was personal information for myself about my situation and where it might progress to in the future. Dennis and I will be writing up a job description for the second year of my involvement in the project.

We confirmed that WebCT will be the platform that we will use for the first year of Cyber School

We agreed that the internal and external webpages seem to be working fine. The internal being just for the involved parties in the development. The external was for the general community and was receiving 15 hits per day. Talked briefly about the content on both and will email most of the reports from now on to the interested parties.

Showed some of the course material, his biggest concern is the staff of the cyber school. Dennis and myself will worry about the courses.

Sasktel meetings, brought him up to speed on the meetings that have happened between Sasktel and myself and reinforced the fact that we have the resources internal to do this alone with no partnerships. On a personal note have informed of the job offers and have confirmed the fact that I will be sticking with this project.

Brochure and Posters we talked about the process briefly and the distribution of both of these will be left up to Dennis and myself.

We discussed briefly the necessity for support people, secretaries, tech, administration to assist the developers in the development of their courses. It was stated that if this is needed Dennis needs to co-ordinate this and put in a budget to cover the cost.

Except for formal press releases....Dennis and myself will be co-ordinating the advertisement of this project.

We discussed my reports, I explained how I was not attempting to hurt anyone's feelings or to be overly negative. I will continue to write and email the reports. It is important that whom ever reads the reports knows that this is my method of thinking and the thoughts are ever changing.

We discussed the budget for the courses and it is Dennis who has to include the costs in his school budget, the finer points of how this will work will be discussed at a later meeting.

A proper press release will probably happen in September when there are some students involved.

We discussed the second round of teachers and it will be necessary to as a group decide what the next group of courses will be.
