Notes

  1. Discussed context of 2016 KPIs and reviewed draft technology KPIs

  2. Discussed pros and cons of WeKan noting concerns about development status of the project.
    • Noted advantages of limiting number of tech platforms and WikiEducator Kanban proof of concept

    • Discussed alternate options for feedback on individual distractors versus general feedback. Will aim to provide option for both.
  6. Discussed example of Threaded WENotes post on every page in WordPress.
    • Will think further about pedagogical issues relating to optimal ordering (i.e. historical or newest post first)
    • Discussed issues relating to internal WP forums versus discourse forums.
    • Wayne to explore FutureLearn comments
  7. Noted that onlinegroups.net is likely to be discontinued.
