[Contrib: Evaluation System] EvalSys panel discussion at Sakai11

[Nicola Monat-Jacobs]

The tracks are a little bit different this year. Assuming that we'll have an overview of what EvalSys does, use case scenarios and recent contributions from various schools, and a plea for participation, what track do you think we should be under?

Teaching, Learning, Research and Portfolios: Sakai exists to improve the quality of teaching, learning and research. Please share case studies of effective teaching, research, assessment and collaboration practices as well as new approaches to technology-enabled teaching and research. Please also consider topics for faculty members who are just getting started with Sakai.
Software Design and Development: Sharing is critical among the software development community. Please share development projects, design approaches, usability and accessibility improvement plans and projects. Topics may also include sharing new development projects, and design and development approaches. Please also consider topics for new developers who are getting started with Sakai or other open source technologies.
Expanded Solutions: Beyond Sakai is there is a complex ecosystem of systems and tools that support teaching, learning and research. Please share your experiences and successes with other solutions that expand the benefit to your faculty and students. Share other open source projects that could complement or expand Sakai.
Support and Training: Individuals and teams fill a critical role in supporting those who use Sakai. Please share your best practices and approaches in administering, supporting, and training your users for success. Please also consider topics for those who are preparing their users and organizations to begin using Sakai.
Leadership and Future Directions: Sakai is an element within your broader strategy and goals. How are institutions using Sakai and other open source technologies to achieve strategic goals? What changes and opportunities on the horizon should be influencing the direction of the community? What other trends, advances and challenges should become part of our community planning and dialogue? Please consider topics for leaders who are in the process of evaluating Sakai and other open source technologies and assessing strategic fit.

Thanks,
Nicola
