ISIS Global Degree Audit Meeting; 11/13/95

ISIS GLOBAL DEGREE AUDIT MEETING

November 13, 1995

The meeting was convened by Nancy Groves, Co-Chair. Members were asked to introduce themselves, noting their department.
Roy Hermer, Co-Chair, demonstrated the use of the World Wide Web Degree Audit home page. This demo included identifying the location of today's agenda and how to access it and the location for future agendas, minutes and other pertinent information.
Roy presented an overview of the Degree Audit Project - where we are, where we are going and how we intend to get there. He also reviewed the first step in the project which included: Update the needs' analysis, investigate the current system, investigate other systems presently in use by other universities and report back.
The "Planning Strategy for the Degree Audit System" document was distributed and reviewed.
Linda Piercy then demonstrated the Student Browser on Darwin, the class list, wait list and course information. The demonstration was intended to show what can be developed for the Degree Audit System.
Roy continued the meeting by asking committee members to complete the "Degree Audit Project-Information Sheet" and send it to him. Roy also asked members to make copies for other appropriate members of their departments and ask them to complete and return it to him. Roy asked members to include their availability and willingness to serve on subcommittees.
Since there were no questions on the "Planning" document, the appropriate members were asked to sign the "Planning Strategy for the Degree Audit System" Project Approvals page to give to the ISIS Enhancement Committee. This would then allow Roy to implement the planning strategy. Barbara Hardifer then explained that the ISIS Enhancement asked that the development of the entire Degree Audit project be divided into smaller parts in order to proceed with the project and continue with needed projects on the ISIS prioritized list.
Roy thanked all for their participation.
Postscript to the meeting: To obtain access to the Student Browser information on Darwin you will need to obtain access approval via an "ACT Access Request" form. You will also need Omnis software.
