Before You Test Your System, Test Your AssumptionsTechWell
Do you find yourself discussing with your peers what you think the system you’re building should do? Do you argue over what the users want? Do discussions wind up in a heated debate? This result indicates that no shared understanding exists about the system. With a lack of shared understanding, it’s easy to fall into the trap of making assumptions about system functionality, who the users will be, and how to build the system. These assumptions introduce errors into the requirements and design—long before a single line of code is written. Creating a shared understanding among stakeholders, users, and teams reduces the chances of not building the right thing—as well as not building the thing right. Aaron Sanders describes the techniques of experimental design, story mapping, user research, prototyping, and user acceptance testing that he’s used to help teams build a shared understanding. Learn to test your assumptions as rigorously as you test the system itself.

Project>Login: From Curiosity to CareerJay Collier
The demand for computing and IT professionals is growing nationally, and these are well-compensated careers for those who are passionate about technology. Unfortunately, in Maine, as elsewhere, too few young and adult learners are discovering this profession, mastering foundational skills, and gaining relevant experience to succeed.
Maine’s Project>Login has been working with students, teachers, and professionals to chart a course from curiosity to career: from playing and tinkering to making and studying to mastering the practices and competencies that will help them thrive in their future roles: at home, at work, and in the community.
How can we help young and adults learners discover, explore, and pursue pathways to the computing and IT profession?

Digital Strategies for Learning A Student-Centered ApproachJay Collier
As learning technologies evolve at a dizzying pace, boundaries are blurring between enterprise systems, classroom technologies, expanded learning platforms, and personal learning networks.
One way to approach this era of disruptive innovation is through an ecosystem framework, integrating a spectrum of digital learning technologies from a learner-centered platform.
In this presentation, I provide the context for educational innovation in Maine, and share several lenses for viewing digital learning technologies, from the perspectives of organizations, educators, and learners.
The document proposes an online collaboration platform called Maine Learning .Net to help Maine educators engage in conversations, share ideas and resources, and apply successful practices in their classrooms. It would support continuity between in-person meetings and professional development. The platform would include features like communities, member profiles, groups, shared files, forums and blogs to foster collaboration. It cites precedents like the US GSA Citizen Apps and US DOE Connected Educators sites as examples. Next steps include checking out the beta site and reading the full discovery report.

NERCOMP: Web Governance - Planning for DisruptionJay Collier
Only some emerging technologies will become disruptive. Can we identify which ones? If so, how? We'll survey some current methods for: analyzing present conditions, examining trends on the horizon, spotting which might become disruptive, and preparing for the unexpected.
A decade ago, higher education online experiences were segmented into walled gardens -- the public Web site, the course management system, online transactions, alumni communities, events calendars. The legacy of that structure was that our lifelong relationships with the college were interrupted as students, faculty, staff, parents, and alumni moved from system to system.
The next-generation online ecosystem will let us re-organize these experiences, allowing for deepening engagement throughout our lives: from prospective student to elder alum. How can we evaluate, select, and configure systems to support our users' needs, rather than the other way around?

A decade ago, the higher education Web experience was segmented into walled gardens -- the public Web site, the course management system, online transactions, alumni communities, events calendars. The legacy of that structure was that our lifelong relationships with the college were interrupted as we students, faculty, staff, parents, and alumni moved from system to system.
The next-generation online ecosystem will let us re-organize these experiences, allowing for deepening engagement throughout our lives: from prospective student to elder alum. How will software like WordPress fit in? How can we evaluate, select, and configure systems to support our users' needs, rather than the other way around?
Integrated Communications and the Bates WebJay Collier
The document discusses Bates College's current web presence and identity, examines who contributes to and uses the college's main website, and outlines next steps to develop a comprehensive communications strategy that more fully integrates the website to better achieve the college's strategic goals through improved online communications. It analyzes Bates' strengths and weaknesses online and seeks input on priorities and metrics to guide future web-focused initiatives.
The document discusses revising Bates College's public web experience. It provides background on the current site, which has been updated in 1997, 2001, and 2006 but now uses outdated techniques. Staffing and resources for the site are limited. The session aims to brainstorm how to create a more engaging site that communicates Bates' essence within these constraints. Key questions are discussed around user needs and priorities. Principles for an effective experience are outlined around dependability, intuitiveness, usefulness, engagement, personalization, welcomingness, and meaningfulness. Goals for 2008 include approving a new vision, confirming resources, and beginning software selection within limits. Participant input is requested to help guide the process.
