ComETS GAME DESIGN Group

Submitted by johnmartin on Thu, 01/26/2012 - 12:38

Just a note that the ComETS GAME DESIGN group will be meeting regularly this semester to improve teaching and learning by decosntructing the engagement/appeal/learning in good games, and applying it to teaching.

These are fun meetings, and they challenge participants to approach education in innovative ways.

We invite you to play.

When designing a website, do you consider all your potential audience, including people who cannot see well or at all, people who cannot use a mouse, and others?

This is the place to collect our plans for the ComETS bday party. Edit, and be happy.

Summary (Decisions, Action Items, and Tabled Items): 

Minutes:

  1. Overview of the difference between Communities (SIGs) and Working Groups.
    1. Active groups: website might not be an indicator, could be a means to find activity in other related groups (even though it seems like duplicating efforts)... group leaders as aggregators of what's happening on campus re their subject;
    2. Want to encourage leaders to pull activity into the site for current and future other members to track
    3. Conversation on the site, list, group lists
  2. Do we need a marketing campaign? What do members know about ComETS?
    1. What are our demographics like? (do we need lightweight polls on the ComETS site?)
    2. Need to summarize/distribute survey results... need another survey?
  3. Actions
    1. Let members know what groups are out there, what are they all about, what to add, how to get involved (periodic e-mail?)... group, mission, next activity, how to get involved and/or subscribe (update group subscriptions)
    2. Find out who members are, who should be in ComETS but are not, what do they want out of ComETS ("why are they here" "what's the reward" ...motivators), where is the interest today/what's an event that would bring members out, what could the group do to help you do your work
    3. Create an outline of things to go over with Community Captains. Schedule f2f check-in meetings with each Community Captain to discuss their goals, share ideas on building community, share best practices. (Doug added this one in after the meeting)
