Learning Reference Architecture Group

https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/itana/Learning+Working+Group^{Image Removed}

This working group held a F2F workshop on May 20-22 in Madison, Wisc https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/itana/learning+architecture+f-2-f+workshop^{Image Removed}
-Jim facilitated
-The group walked through capability maps. The idea is to link capabilities back to technologies
-The group divided the space into 5 areas:
-Instructional designer
-Instructor
-Learner
-Mentor
-Administrator

The work accomplished during the F2F workshop is here: https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/itana/Learning+Working+Group#LearningWorkingGroup-Projectworkspaces^{Image Removed}

A use case was examined of a using capability map to survey the landscape to determine the areas of readiness and the gaps to launch MOOCs on a campus.

Next steps (between now and October) are here: https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/itana/Wednesday+Notes#WednesdayNotes-Sequencing%2FNextSteps^{Image Removed}

This working group is still open and would welcome new members. Please consider participating. Contact Leo Fernig.

Q: Can a capability map help with changing a culture?
A: Yes, because listing capabilities can be neutral, compared to looking at people's jobs and functions

Wiki Content Management https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/itana/Home^{Image Removed}

-Brian has reviewed the ITANA wiki to determine improvements (reorganizing/editing) that may be helpful.
-The website at ITANA.org is more high level – for charter and goals
-The ITANA wiki is more for the working group activities and helpful documents

...

For the Library section of the wiki, there are tags and labels applied to pages. See the list of 46 labels at the right at: https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/itana/Library^{Image Removed}

Jim: Pete worked on those tags. Not sure how consistently they are being applied since Pete left.

...

Q: Should the "Recently Discussed" Area of the wiki be used as a Topics area? https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/itana/Recently+Discussed^{Image Removed}
A: Yes, probably a good idea.

It was noted that the Peer Groups (listed on the Working Groups page) are mostly stagnant right now. https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/itana/Leading+as+an+Architect+Peer-Group^{Image Removed}https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/itana/New+to+HE+Peer+Group^{Image Removed}

-Should we take the Peer Group out of the Working Groups page?
-Perhaps make those into "Topic Groups."
-Need a mechanism for the Topic Groups to organize.
