Lab Space

-- Awaiting update on shared space in HOL

-- The space will likely be used by students doing short video production for English courses this semester. Lauren's OL team has also expressed interest in having a space for collaborative data work, and Carolyn's team has used it for training.

-- Tech refresh? There is some question of who should do this. Hard to justify major spending on computer upgrades at current usage. Any interim steps? (New Windows 8 Tablets?)

-- Any other useful gear we should be looking at?

Activities

-- Jon suggests branding some of the workshops we have been doing (http://trusoundcamp.net, http://truvideocamp.net, etc...) as "Presented by the Innovation Lab"

-- The Literature of Utopia pilots went extremely well, see:

-- A WordPress Sandbox - for LearnDash WP LMS, etc... -- Brian can move on this


Other issues:

The Kumu Wiki has launched. Hopefully some existing staff time can be allocated to this, though progress on this has been slow.

A work-study position to support WordPress and MediaWiki?
