Transfer Course Evaluation System: A Joint-Development Project

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Transfer Course Evaluation System: A Joint-Development Project (ID: CMR9740)
Author(s):Linda Burns (Arizona State University)
Origin:Presented at CUMREC Conferences (Archives) (1997)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:Two states, Arizona and Ohio, entered into a joint project to design and prototype a "course applicability system," with a goal to provide a statewide decentralized electronic transfer and advising system building on four basic functions: facilitate the development of inter-institutional course transfer agreements; determine transferability of courses from one institution to another, demonstrate the applicability of courses to specific academic programs, and make the system available via the Web. The challenge was to accomplish this goal with staff located in two states. This paper describes how the project was managed, how it was organized, what was successful, what obstacles were overcome, and how they were overcome.

Implementing A New System On Time In Bad Times

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Implementing A New System On Time In Bad Times (ID: CNC9319)
Origin:Presented at CAUSE Conferences (Archives) (1993)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:In 1991, the Student Information area of The University of Connecticut Computer Center faced many problems. There was very little documentation, many jobs were not in production and being run as "test" jobs from programmers' machines, and the staff had no overall knowledge of the projects under development. In addition, bad economic times had resulted in the loss of many knowledgeable personnel. In the midst of these difficulties, the student information group was assigned the task to implement a university-wide touch-tone registration system. In order to cope, we restructured our group to insure rapid development and first-time perfect operation of the new system. This paper will discuss our new standards and procedures, the problems we have encountered, and the progress we have made toward achieving our goal.
