Committee reports

Web team: DCN toolkit help from various places is consolidating to a single spot inside the DCN CMS. Addition of videos is continuing. And, Scott has created a new homepage buttons — Steve will add them.

We’ve purchased a copy of “Camtasia” for screen-capture production, and are having excellent results.

RAC: A couple of applications approved; email addresses and a simple site. Tsui and Jan discussed possibilities for rapid approval for easy cases, particularly when there are upcoming classes.

Classes: Sheila reported that the class schedule is underway. Tonight’s online security is expected to be full. Keith had a great class for about seven. Attendance for the Simple Sites classes was light.

Announcements

Jan is working with the Yolo County Office of Education on some classes for teaching tablet use for special-education students. Jan wondered if DCN could apply with YCE for a grant to help cover this. Overhead from other potential applicants is higher.

General feedback that we’re happy to explore this. Jan will assemble the grant and keep the executive committee advised on terms.

Tsui moved the executive committee be empowered to review and (if accepted) approve the grant application.
Jim seconded.
Approved by consensus.
