Would it be possible to use a "play" icon for pre-recorded?
12:41:40 [Sharron]
Helen: Maybe an icon for a hard drive - often used for saved item. I have an issue with the next one because the contrast is not good - it is unreadable.
12:42:54 [Sharron]
Eric: I think th icons are so small they seem unecessary and don't add alot. We don't re-use them in other palces. Don't see why we need them at al.

Shadi: I wonder about Unit 4, why do we not include "standards" which may be something that people look for. What was the rationale?
13:00:11 [Estella]
+1 to use "standards"
13:00:46 [dmontalvo]
q?
13:00:46 [Sharron]
Daniel: Because we do not include all of the standards here.

13:07:38 [Sharron]
...any other comments?

Shawn: A brief background that this section was just called Easy Checks since that is often used as a teaching tool. Trying to make it clear however that the goal is not to go learn EC but to get hands-on experince.

13:16:17 [dmontalvo]
q?
13:16:32 [Sharron]
Daniel: Previous approach was to tie the assessment lesson to the learning outcomes. I am now trying to suggest activities that will demonstrate learning. Suggest specific type of activity with a brief explanation of what is expected. For those working in higher ed, does this seem more useful?
13:16:44 [Estella]
+1
13:17:22 [Sharron]

Yatil2k-ipad_ has joined #eo
13:19:47 [Sharron]
...it is still not clear to m where this will be implemented?
13:20:34 [Sharron]
...it is important because the approach in these different contexts will be quite different.
13:21:48 [Sharron]
Daniel: We hope that the curriculum will be applied in all different contexts. We want to provide a foundation that can be adapted to various settings.
13:22:24 [dmontalvo]
q?
13:23:42 [Sharron]
Shadi: We have the intention to make this an open approach, ideas that can be widely applied in many contexts. Do you have concerns abut the approach might not work?
13:24:13 [shawn]
q+ to ask about Assessment
13:24:35 [Sharron]
Estella: The problems will be in appling to a university setting, there is no definition of hours, credits and those expectations for higher ed.
13:25:47 [Sharron]
...sometimes the institute will also need to know more detail about time deciated to each topic, unit, section. For applying into a unversity setting, the measure must be number of hours to earn credits. So what standards are we trying to meet?
13:28:00 [Sharron]
Shadi: We did try to assign time or percentage of time originally. But thinking about the various settings and semmester/quarter/workshop etc we decided to remove it. Instead we stepped back and will ask the instructors to do the translation of time spent into credits, etc within their own specific circumstance.
13:29:13 [dmontalvo]
ack?
13:29:21 [Sharron]
Daniel: We had hours assigned at first and realized we could nt anticipate all the ways it may be used, integrated into other courses and such so have tried to be less specific about time.

ack how
13:30:43 [Sharron]

I would leave it
13:33:31 [dmontalvo]

13:33:33 [Sharron]
Brent: I agree with Howard to leave the time decision to the instructor. In the idea of assessment giving teachers the goal of what students should know without proscribing how they test for that but providing some ideas and approaches to help them.
13:33:34 [Brent]
I would leave them
13:34:34 [Sharron]
Shawn: I wonder if the effort for us to provide those is worth that. It seems so repetitive to the learning outcomes. It may not be that instrucotrs even will use tem.
13:34:40 [Yatil2k-ipad_]
+1 to remove them for now,
13:35:33 [Sharron]
Brent: Many trainers or teachers will come up with their own ways to assess student learning. But we have to remember that we have also anticipated that some people may use this who have never taught.
13:35:47 [Estella]
+1 to Brent
13:36:14 [Yatil2k-ipad_]
+1 to the concept, but ultimately happy with whatever Daniel & the group find appropriate
13:36:18 [Estella]
Sorry I lost the audio again
13:36:21 [shawn]
s/ It seems so repetitive to the learning outcomes. / It previously seemed so repetitive to the learning outcomes.
13:37:15 [Brent]
+1 to beefing up the guidance on the introduction.
13:37:20 [Sharron]
Shadi: Maybe put this in a survey - leave in the assessment ideas or not. I also hear Estella's point that it is not at this time well suited for higher ed. Maybe we need a meta narrative to explain that this is framework and should be used and modified for the specific setting.
13:37:57 [Yatil2k-ipad_]
THANK YOU Daniel, for all the work on it, it shapes up great!

Sharron: I agree it's a great tagline. And resonates really , really well. But in this context, maybe think of a tagling specific to evalaution. It's a bit "huh, what" in this context.
14:10:05 [shawn]
... lock Shawn in room until she comes up with eval-specific tagline
14:10:06 [Sharron]
Eric: We have a tagline claim that works very well, no
14:10:21 [Sharron]
...need to change it.
14:10:38 [Sharron]
Sharron: I see Shawn's point that it is not specific to evaluation.

Shadi: Using abstract illustrations so now really showing a browser, using anmation. Wants to use abstract illustrations of users as well not real people because don't have capacity to show racial, disability, gender diversity. Screenshots are not being considered because that would lock us into English. Drop me any thoughts you might have about it.
14:24:45 [Sharron]

Brent: We can have a weekly survey as you make these revisions.

Shawn: I am curious how often people actually go to the current homepage, please visit and say what your reactions is
14:27:55 [Sharron]
Hidde: Seems to me it is tightened up a bit and I think it needs more white space
14:28:35 [Sharron]
Estella: I like the way it looks but I need more space between sections to prevent seeming crowded and confuisng.
14:28:42 [yatil]
I find it perfect.
14:28:51 [Sharron]
Laura: Yes I have to agree with that, more white space is needed.

14:29:25 [Brent]
Top of home page seems crowded to me now.

14:32:08 [Estella]
+1 to leave the space
14:32:22 [hdv]
+1 to leave at least as much space as there is
14:32:31 [Brent]
Here is a page with a lot of text: https://www.w3.org/WAI/business-case/bibliography/
14:33:03 [Sharron]
...That is when I looked at the amount of space above the h2s on an overview page, it is not text heavy and space is not needed. But on a content page, like Essential Components, it is text heavy and the space about the h2 seems necessary and provides good guidance for the reader.
14:33:14 [hdv]
q+ to say, while we talk about space, I think we should also have more space on the left and right of these columns. In typographic theor\y, recommended characters per line are 50-80 chars, we have a lot more, and that impacts readability.
