Yea, I agree, I think we should use broader language (content) as we
start the conversation. With a limited amount of time we just want
to make sure we stay somewhat on track (while letting them drive the
conversation :) ). I think we'll know when it makes sense to focus
on course material. Since Sakai is also meant to support research
activities it is important not to be too focused on course stuff.
That said, we have a lot of these wider questions in the CI guide,
http://wiki.fluidproject.org/x/3Qsa, that is meant to be what we take
with us on the contextual inquiries. The attached outline was meant
to be a way to structure the results of us processing what we
learned. So yes, I'm sure it will change after we do our first few.

Looks like a good start to me. We may find we want to refine it
after our initial contextual inquiries. My only question is do we
want to explore anything about their content management that is not
related to course materials? "Collaborate on content" gets at that
a bit, but there may be other things they are doing (e.g. in terms
of research, or even personal stuff) with content that it might
help to have information on. For instance, if an instructor wants
to use the same system to manage their course images and personal
photos, that could be important to know. Or we might find best
practices from systems they are using outside the CMS realm. We
will of course want to have most of the focus on course materials,
but not sure if we might want to touch on other areas briefly?

Hi Daphne
That sounds fine. Just wondered if there was something then
wanted to start using it. This approach should work.

What do you think of this as a start for a notes format? The
last 10 or so categories are straight from the CI guide. As we
start doing the CIs there may be a more natural way for the
information to flow but this is a start anyway.

That's good news!
As far as a format, we have the CI guides that will help us
categorize information similarly. I prefer to hand write notes
in a notebook that I keep for each project during the CI. Once
we digitize the notes as we process and analyzed what we heard,
I think it will be a good idea to have a similar format. I'll
send out some samples from previous work later today.

Hi Daphne/Allison
We have some good leads on a few faculty here for contextual
inquiries maybe even next week.
I'm wondering if we want to develop (or perhaps you are already
working on it) a standard Note Taking form/format for the CIs?
Also Shaw-Han and I may run through a pilot CI here later this
week or early next week.
cheers
