Revised CSS theme w/new logo (Install on MIIS server before Holiday break: Kristen)
Basic Course Template Development (ideally, load basic course templates into the course request form; if not, make them accessible in Course Settings as options)
- Two basic templates complete, needs a little dress up (Bob)
Default course settings updated for ease of use
Upload some generic files for general use (headers for each program, etc.)
Personal profile settings override course settings when it comes to tracking/flagging new items - change default profile settings to track new items
- Personal Profile < Show Advanced Options < Turn Retracking On

Develop Help Desk strategy for Moodle questions & course requests
- Course request process - revise the form and info for Help Desk routing
- Consider using Google forms to upload a batch course request as a .csv file
Bob will work with IT to determine the source of the course back-up / restore problem we continue to encounter [solved by Trinidad]
Kristen will work on the development of a new Moodle theme for roll-out by J-term. She is using a [non-MIIS dev site] to work on this.
Trinidad will work with Kristen on establishing admin / ftp access to the current Moodle server
John and Trinidad will establish a dev server space for TLC and Help Desk to experiment with newer versions of Moodle platform
Revise the course request form for ease of use and routing through the Help Desk (Kristen, Bob)
Revise default course and user settings, specifically:
- user default tracking posts setting should be turned on by default (Sarah's suggestion)
- tie-in possible course templates to course settings selection
Researching off-site hosting costs with Moodlerooms (Bob, John G)

Sarah and TLC Team (Edie and Anna) will coordinate a training time (early Dec) with Greg to get him up to speed on Moodle Basics (including user mgmt, course request process, FAQs)
Edie and Anna will develop basic 'out-of-the-box' course templates that can be adapted for new courses
Bob coordinate with TLC team on Dec and Jan Moodle training schedule for Dean Assts and faculty

Upgrade to newer version of Moodle 1.9x - hold off until Summer 09
- delaying the upgrade will allow us to discover problems before faculty do
