With Summer here, you would think we’d be taking it easy, but we’re hard at work converting our prototype application to native Sakai code. Once things are in reasonable enough shape, we’ll move the code to Sakai Contrib.
Summer-time at the Timeline
June 26, 2008 at 2:45 pm (features)
Well, school is out, the students are gone, the grades are in. For the last month we have spent a lot of time talking about the timeline project, at Pomona College on May 21 and then at the NITLE Sakai Users’ meeting in Tacoma on June 12. These presentations went very well, and we’re looking forward to following up on the contacts we’ve made. Mike will be taking the show on the road next week, to the annual Sakai meeting. It’s going to be in Paris this time, so it’s important to feel sympathetic to the effort he’s putting forth.
We’ve fallen off the blog wagon a little bit with all the travel, but we will be posting development notes as we progress over the summer. At the moment, we are hip-deep in the transition from Cold Fusion code to native Sakai. If you are visiting us for the first time, we encourage you to browse through the semester’s posts for screenshots of our virtual progress as well as pictures of the corresponding physical wall constructed in Sarah’s courses this semester. You’ll also find development notes, student reactions, and numerous stories and reflections about the pedagogical uses of the timeline tool. You may even inadvertently learn something new about the French Second Empire while you’re at it!
