  1. SMA Stellar Presentation Mike Barker 22 June 2001

  2. Today's Agenda • Review of Hi-Command and the interface to Stellar designed for SMA use • Discussion of approaches to implementation "How would you like to implement SMA course support using Stellar?" I.e., help me to schedule features and work for the summer.

  3. Key Points • Stellar has been designed for usability and enhancement • At this point, the Stellar development will continue to add functions. TAs, Administrative staff, and Faculty can add content, arrange and rearrange, and become familiar with the system. • As other DLCs and Stanford adopt Stellar and add tools, functions, and content, the system will continue to grow.

  4. Let's Look At Stellar • Hi-Command • Stellar Student View • Stellar Faculty View • Stellar Construction Sites: draupadi and stellar (note: these may not be available at all times, these are active development sites)

  5. Stellar Summer Additions • Discussion Board (Jive, Panfora) • Websis, MIT libraries, MIT Event calendar integration • MyStellar "miniportal" – student, faculty • Reuse and shared content tools • Additional styles (look-and-feel)

  6. Stellar Summer Additions (2) • Course setup tools • User management tools • Assessment tools (quiz/test, homework handling, survey) • FAQ management • Chat/zephyr/IM

  7. Stellar Scheduling Items • Training • HW setup (UPS, RAID, etc.) • Documentation • Support (training, familiarization) • Release (when do we add new functions? Incremental or big-bang?) • Cutover

  8. Stellar Schedule

  10. Background Technical Info

  11. Stellar-June Design Goals • Provide students with easily navigable, rich web course environment • Provide faculty, TAs, etc. with easy, effective ways to put content into system • Does not require a large central technical staff. I.e. minimize operations, maintenance, and support requirements • Ensure that system is extensible, I.e. that it is easy to add additional capabilities • Allow for continuing additions, enhancements, and improvements • Must be accessible (ADA)

  12. Stellar-June Design Goals • Robust, scalable, and sustainable • Security, privacy, and intellectual property issues • Support reuse and shared use of content • Provide support for good pedagogical practices • Support integration with external institutional systems • Easy to use "standard" look and feel and course organization, as well as custom appearance and organization. • Support a number of portal environments (design to work with uPortal in particular but not necessarily exclusively • Easy, effective ways to set up and organize system

  13. Stellar Design Parameters • Functional - does what MIT needs • Supportable (at relatively low expense, by relatively few people) • Extensible (open software, but also based on standards) • Simple to use by TAs, administrative assistants, and faculty • Integrates with external institutional systems • Provides for security, privacy, and addresses intellectual property issues • Easy to use "standard" look and feel and course organization, plus customizable appearance & organization. • Support reuse and shared use of content • Provide support for good pedagogical practices • Must be accessible (ADA) • Support a number of portal environments (designed to work with uPortal in particular but not necessarily exclusively) • Has a process for additions, enhancements, and improvements
