Meeting agenda and notes 7/16/20

  • Hello and welcome!
  • Updates
    • Rollout to department (meeting with Sandie tomorrow to coordinate various prof. dev. – Ariane, Samar, Bruce. But Sandie not sure if there will be funding available. BUT Ariane Too many commitments already this summer! Separate from 1275CO training, more general. Had put Ariane down to talk about OpenLab but not sure it’s the right fit/enough time. Marianna available to help in live sessions if that’s useful. Satish is available in a pinch (is also busy!)).
    • Email to course coordinators sent Wed evening
  • Lessons
    • What does a lesson look like? (cont’d) – Share initial lessons, discuss
      • Satish: sample lesson – in LaTeX, about 3 pages. On OL page: brief description, embedded video (recorded), link to lecture. NOTE: Not all lessons will require this level of content development – this particular topic (Bernoulli eq’s) is presented in a nonstandard fashion
      • Lin:
        • link to video resource page: https://openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/groups-mat-1475-student-video-resources-/syllabus-with-links-to-videos/

    • Video Resources: What’s our strategy for integrating existing video resource guides? Just put a link here, for now?

    • links don’t open in new tab, even when “open link in new tab” is selected (look at “Textbook” page on Lin’s site for example)
