It looks like Tuesdays at 3:00 will be the time for meetings

Pending Tasks (Tentative, until confirmed. Notice that everyone is expected to find a workshop in Task Group B.)
| Task Group A | University Week, Spring 2009. Planning. | | Deadline/Group Coordinator/Names | Tuesday, November 21, 2008: An initial draft for the Spring Semester University Week is due for the Provost to review.
Names of volunteers in this Task Group will be posted here. | | Notes | Progress will be posted here. |
| Task Group B (Everyone) |
TLRC Workshops | | Deadline/Group Coordinator/Names | Tuesday,
November 14, 2008: Identify a workshop that can be offered by the TLRC.
This means identifying a workshop presenter who will do this:
1. Agree to conduct an hour-long workshop, twice. (This eliminates scheduling conflicts.)
2.
The presenter will provide you with a file that is used for the
workshop handout. It is recommended that the handout be just one page
long, on one side. This file will be available online from the TLRC
website when the workshop is announced. It should include at least
a paragraph or two that describes the workshop. Also, we want to
have a brief announcement in an email announcement that is sent to all
faculty.
3. The presenter might suggest a venue for the presentation. Or, the TLRC will arrange a venue.
4. The presenter agrees to prepare and pass out printouts of the handout before the workshop begins.
5. The presenter agrees to handle the sign in sheet and the evaluations, if this becomes necessary.
6. Perhaps we can develop a recommended (but not standardized) format for handouts.
7.
Upon completion, we want to send a letter of thanks to each presenter.
You will need to get the name of the person's chair or supervisor.
Every person
on the TLRC committee is expected to find someone who can do at least
one workshop, every semester. If you can't find someone, you can do it
yourself. | | Notes | The
TLRC GA will handle announcements by email and website (with access to
the workshop handout), registration of participants, logistics,
recording evaluations, and the documentation of participation. Once we
have a "formula", it should go smoothly. Every workshop should be
presented twice, at different times and different days. As a
goal, we should have, eventually, at least 1 unique workshop every
week. |
