The Ensemble Design and Development Effort

Here are four possible logos (for ACM-W and AlgoViz). I prefer the ensemble without the Computing Portal myself. -dan

Plan for the November Meeting.  What are the things we need to do?

* Update on the ontology project and a plan for integrating it into the site.

What would you want from an online resource?

• College credit and recovery
• Connects me with my next level, user friendly for teacher
• Online AP CS course
• Tutorial for something (kid out for a week, for them)
• Scope and sequence for a new AP textbook
  • As I upload my work, I connect it with a resource
• Well-documented projects
  • Students can see how everything is linked together

* Are the following clear:
- what this site is for

In exploring the ensemble site today with a new student worker, I noticed that the access to some resources is not complete. In particular, if you go to the resources tab and click on the CITIDEL link, you get a choice of two of the CITIDEL communities: tutorials and the Computer Science Teaching Center. Those are fine things, but there is no indication that there is a lot more in the CITIDEL site than that. If we are presenting what looks like a link to a resource, then the link should give access to all of the resource, not just a portion.

Groups - where do they appear in the site organization.

Lois: What do you see when you log in?
Ability to use breadcrumbs for group names.
Groups and subgroups.
Posting these as suggestions.
Villanova needs to review and take steps to make it happen.

If you click on groups, you see all of them. Too many.

Team members as admins see all.

One site or multiple sites?
If we move to multiple sites, what are the advantages and disadvantages.

Cross site search experience (Rick)
Each site has the same stuff installed.
