Follow Up Session for SRM Community Tutorial (done on May 4,2009)
Time: Wed, May 13 '09 [Yes we started on time..bcos of Indian Tea :)]
Participants: Emi, Max, Hanno, Ankit, short but important participation/comments from active SRMsters who moved in and around our venue i.e. Forestry Cafeteria :) namely Arman, Adriana, Nele, Jose !!!
Thought Process:
1) How to ADD LIFE & make our WIKI sustainable ??
2) Discuss and find solutions concerning important suggestions and questions raised during tutorial session done on Mon, May 4 2009.
too many platforms ??? ….how to make wiki more user friendly and adding special technical user friendly features ???
3) Possible future actions.
What came out ??
for 1)
a) Get more people involved (make nice interesting contests like karma contests, knowing individuals interests getting those on
action)
b) Prepare the a good platform for '09 batch and reach/include them early (concept like meet your classmates in advance)
c) Add some incentives for active participants (vouchers, books, certificates)
for 2)
a) Too many platforms (clix, email, facebook) BUT best unique feature with WIKI we all can remain connected even after
finishing the course which is not possible through clix which throws us out as soon as we finish the course.
b) Arman suggested and tried some programming tools (e.g. php) which can be used but need to be checked for compatabiliy ??
still open end to be dealt with.
c) Add some advance user friendly features (RSS Feed??..if possible updates messages from clix??)
For 3)
a ) Organize special days in the near future to make some nice interesting videos about SRM life, student activities, interesting
student hangouts places in and around campus , necessary work places like VISA office, places to
shop,places/people/situation to avoid as a first timer ;)
b) Organize another small WIKI tutorial with Charles Savage workshop on June 5 '09.
