[sakai2-tcc] Reminder - TCC - Community Collaborator - Thursday, Sept 13, 4 pm EDT (8 pm GMT)

[May, Megan Marie]

Having all the information means people can make informed inferences.    To quantity institutional contributions, you are going to have to look on the individual level.    

As for inspiring managers put to resources on the CLE, I think a list of work with estimates to be a lot more motivating.

But if you have both, don't you still have the problems I mentioned?

But essentially we are thinking I would produce, with assistance I would presume/hope, a monthly participation report at the institution/vendor level, not at the individual level. I think this is an idea worth trying, though it might take a bit of effort to get it off the ground. I think we would want to get some metrics, but at the same time the team acknowledges the limitations of metrics, they can be misleading. If we did something like this, I would run a prototype of the report by TCC before publishing anywhere else. What do you think?
