Thinking Things Through

I am using this course to work through an real-time initiative. The change over from Bb7.3 to Bb9 for face-to-face faculty will be daunting. Many faculty have yet to master Bb7.3 and much of this is due to lack of expectation. This course has been enormously helpful for me. Putting my thoughts down in writing and then reviewing the process again and again really helps me to think through the strategy and approach we will be taking.

I certainly have no expectation that things will follow the part three schedule exactly. But this course has helped me to think through the process. It is better to get a buy-in by all departments on agreed upon expectations for standard use of Bb9 features right up front. With that expectation in place, I have aggressively pursed a 5 week schedule for when all faculty return to copy a master course and populate as needed. In thinking this through, I think it is better to push hard to accomplish the task quickly, then deal with the results behind that.
