Timeline+Request

An agenda is requested from you, my colleagues who are invited to participate in this collaborative effort to improve our Digital Graphic Design program. The specific purpose of this effort is about making the curriculum of an existing advanced course stronger, making the methods of learning set in it more appropriate to teaching new students for the future workforce.

I prefer your input by tonight, Monday, 2-15-2010. Any input will allow me to confirm a preliminary agenda for a meeting by Tuesday. It will be complete with all your ideas and input, but flexible to change until Wednesday. In two days I want to complete the agenda so we can meet and discuss your ideas to improve not only this course, but let it be a template to shape future classes.

Thank you in advance for your time and effort on setting and critiquing this timeline below. Any other topics you feel are appropriate to discuss are welcome for you to add.

Agenda topics with timeline to consider:
2-19-2010
 * Define students' needs.
 * Define course material.

2-26-2010
 * Decide best communication means for students and instructors.
 * Decide on software, textbooks and learning resources for program.

3-19-2010, before Summer semester begins on 5-10-2010
 * Finalize curriculum.
 * Finalize training needs.
 * Summary.

**//If these are in agreement, comment. If not, suggest changes or additions.//**

=== The industry standard software should be recommended by the advisory committee for the program. Although the final decision should always be made with the students best interests in mind. 2-8-10 Diane  The timeline looks good to me. It will give us time to research the topics.
