Academic Progress Event Model Call

May 15th 2009, 2:PM EST
Conference Dial-in Number: (712) 775-7100
Participant Access Code: 726310#

In our last meeting, we agreed Friday afternoons the best for most people to participate in the conference calls. If you can’t make it, you can still keep up with our progress on our wiki:

We will continue our discussion of the Academic Progress model outlined in our last get together in DC. Attached to this email you will find a Visio diagram we drafted at the meeting last month. It can be viewed with an ActiveX control when you open the attachment in your browser. The first page of the diagram represents the high level Academic Progress model showing the touch points of a learner/student through the stages of obtaining a credential or satisfying requirements. Each box represents a high level perspective of something happening at an abstract level. There could be more than one message or data schema required to support each event. Each event could create, update, delete or add data to systems supporting Academic Progress, guidance, tracking, etc. Our next step will be to drill down as we fill in the event model. If you have any questions, let me know.

Please join us if you can for our next working session on May 15 (Friday) at 2:00PM EST.

The Visio diagram will be added to the wiki and notes will be posted on the academicprogress wiki. Check out: http:http://sites.google.com/site/academicprogress/Home/artifacts

When I complete an update on the blog, I promise to send another message to the list serv. Look forward to our progress...
