Major Efforts

Name Description Assignees (lead person in parenthesis) Notes
Support WISE 2.0 Runs Supporting runs in WISE 2.0, the "Classic WISE". This is the WISE that is being used the most (by teachers and by UCWISE) (Doug&Hiroki) During the summer, there aren't too many classroom runs, but there are workshops, like the MODELS workshop (June 16-20). Supporting those users is the top priority for WISE 2.0. No new functionality will be added to WISE 2.0
OTrunkification Switching the backend data-storing mechanism from PODS/Rims/Socks to OTrunk. Will force all future projects to use this format. This effort is needed to continue working on the authoring tool (Scott,Tony),Geoff The technology team agreed to move to OTrunk in November 2007 retreat. This effort is important and tricky; it requires collaboration with the Concord folks (Scott Cytacki in particular), because they created OTrunk
Authoring Tool A tool that allows users to author/preview/save SAIL projects (Tony),Geoff During the Spring, we should be able to release the first version of the authoring tool and have people test it out and provide feedback. A lot of work will go into improving the authoring tool during the summer.
WISE 3.0 Portal development Register teacher/student/researcher/administrator, add/preview projects, set up classroom runs, view & grade student work, etc. Will also launch the authoring tool (Hiroki),Tony,Geoff,Matt,Patrick,Sally We hope to add more functionality to the portal, especially in the teacher management tool, researcher tool, and administrator tool. We'll also need to prepare the portal for the beginning of Fall 2008, when the portal will be used more (specifics needed).
VLE Making improvements to, and adding new step types to, the Virtual Learning Environment Tony, (Geoff) During the summer, the goal is to add one (or two) new step types to the VLE: discussion,brainstorm,polling
Proxy Server
