We had an extremely productive meeting on Thursday. We had a lot of things to cover, so I created an agenda and tried very hard to stick to it. It helped us to cover all necessary information (and also gave us a sense of accomplishment when we could check things off!).
Greg gave us feedback on our Task Analysis and Objectives document. He had some questions about the subject matter and wanted to get more information about the resources we would be using, particularly for Goal 5. I've emailed Alissa and Dr. Schell for examples of the articles we will be using for that goal, so hopefully we'll have that info soon. After our discussion with Greg, we made some changes to both documents. The team realized that we didn't have any prerequisite knowledge on our Task Analysis, so we added that information. We also added several subtasks (for example, defining a feature analysis grid or dichotomous key) to make sure that our learners have all the knowledge they need to complete their objectives.
We also started talking about the design aspect of the module. We discussed what kinds of interactive activities are appropriate for our lessons, and we brainstormed for creative idea. We continued this discussion on Sunday (our first Horizon Wimba meeting) and decided to dedicate this Thursday's meeting to solidifying a template for each lesson. Cheryl and I met last night to discuss the design in more depth, and I think we've got something really nice started. Our client really wants to include his logo for the Whale Class and colors that are reminiscent of marine life (blues and greens), so we have a few constraints to work with, which I think is a good thing when it comes to design!
Everyone will bring a draft version of their assigned document to this Thursday's meeting so we can review and discuss. We are trying really hard to stay on schedule since we got so behind with our docs in the beginning. We also came up with some assignments for our 6200 consultants, so we should be getting with them sometime this week or next week.
It was difficult to meet in Horizon Wimba - I think those meetings will be more about touching base and asking specific questions. There was bad weather Sunday night, so perhaps the technology will be better next time we try.
