Sanako Study 1200 Workshop Spring 2011
Those who wanted to, but did not make it to my introductory training for the newly installed Sanako Study-1200 in LRC COED434 might want to have a look at the unedited screencast footage of the teacher computer that I recorded during this session (for Windows Media Player on Windows, if necessary, resort to LRC PCs).

Video Library: Scheduling for Reserve Desk and Viewings
Lab staff instruction for editing the video-reserves spreadsheet H:\LLC\scheduling\video-reserves&mh441b-showing\video-reserves.xls:
- Lab supervisors build the spreadsheet for the reserve desk and viewing: video-reserves-reservedonthisday-unfold-schedule-viewing.wmv, video-reserves-viewing-selecting-timeslots&venues.wmv
- Lab assistants read the spreadsheet and handle the actual media (i.e. update the reserve desk and show the videos): video-reserves-reservedonthisday-filter-viewing-or-reserve.wmv
Interpreting Suite use: Policies
WHEN YOU BEGIN:
1. Always 1st log on PC
2. Ensure VCR Channel is on A1 
3. No food or drink (except water, on floor)
4. To speak, turn on DIS6132 microphone 
(only 1 microphone per booth can be used at a time)
5. To record, wear 1-ear pad black headphones around neck
6. When listening to recorded video, adjust the BT928 volume 
WHEN YOU LEAVE:
7. Turn down the DIS6132 volume 
8. Log off the PC (do not power off)
9. Clean up your desk (handouts, water…)
How to enable your SMEs to collaboratively define and add metadata to learning materials
- We have been asked to manage digital assets (including web links) and enabling incorporating them as learning materials within a series of study programs.
- We researched a number of metadata schemas and controlled vocabularies that have been applied to language and social sciences learning materials before,
- and incorporated those into the below MS-Excel application, to allow for easy marking up of existing assets by SMEs – using collaborative tagging instead of the more familiar, but more easily conflicting, since mutually exclusive folder hierarchy (unidirectional-tree structure).
- In addition, SMEs can expand and develop the controlled vocabulary, by adding tags of their own, as you can see at the end of this demo:
MS Project training notes
- Course is about setting up a project, not tracking (but beginnings will be covered)
- file menu
- save as: e.g. webpage
- edit
- undo: only 1 undo level
- tasks
- split
- view
- calendar
- :base calendar: tools / options
- tools / change calendar [how does this relate?]
- these are company holidays
- can it load holidays like outlook – yes, from project central server
- attach the calendar to the project: project / project information
- many projects are built from finish date, but that leaves no slack time
- tasks pane
- used only with project central server?
- tool bars
- standard
- format
- ask pane
- project: quicker ways than that
- insert subtasks
- simply press insert key to insert rows
- 0 duration = milestone (can also have a milestone with a duration)
- constraints
- difference between a deadline and a constraint: deadline is less important
- review
- start
- project start date: menu / project:
- calendars:
- base calendar = tools / options / calendar
- project calendar = tools / change working time / new
- assign / attach that project calendar to the project: menu: project: project information
- show holidays on Gantt chart: context menu: Gantt chart: nonworking time (option: in front of the taskbars: interrupts the taskbars)
- recurring tasks: menu: insert: recurring task
- set duration: d = day, m = minute, mo = month, w = week
- creating link relation ships
- visually by dragging tasks onto each other in the Gantt chart
- writing in field predecessors (sf is default, s=stat, f=finish, relation ship), -lag and +lead time
- constraints and deadlines
- resources
- types
- WORK: REUSABLE
- MATERIAL: CONSUMABLE
- groups
- teams
- internal or external
- suppliers
- max units
- e.g. FULL TIME OR HALF TIME PERSON
- types
- start
- last hour
- resources – critical (overrun) tasks
- reallocating resources to reduce slack and slippage
- baseline
- set: menu: tools / tracking / baseline
- in the Gantt chart, the blackline is the baseline
- tracking
- recommended to always display the tracking toolbar
- reports
- menu: view / reports
- resources – critical (overrun) tasks
- Outlook: level 2 training
- tracking
- split task
- update task
- customization (views, reports, filters)
- master projects
- resource pools
- tracking
