Sandbox Deployment Status
Emily
CADM has agreed to fund sandbox for next semester.
Comfortable rolling out to any school, faculty, or staff, - students must have access to course.
On Monday - CIO's will be updated to make the request. Looking for Schools to chip in based on cost growth. Pending Scott Jordan approval.
Expect to grant more of access starting next week.
Shifting responsibilities and working together on a roadmap now that we have runway.
Planning meetings in progress over the next few weeks.
File Upload
Chris, Ventz, Lawrence
Ventz / Lawrence - File upload release pending for 11/2.
Chris - how longs are file persistent?
1 week, but is also in history that can be exported and file re-uploaded.
Volume limit?
In progress…looking for balance of file size vs. size to process, along with tokens / capacity.
Adoption Support
All
What can be done to increase comfort level?
Nick - working to chat with people to understand use, identify barriers and support, and how to onboard more people. VPAL working ot identify concrete use case examples to inspire use and unpack what works well for whom and why. Create a pedagogical framework.
Chris and Rebecca - lot of undergrad interest in engaging with impressive experience. Would be good to get them in process of developing tutor bots.
Discussed possible ways to engage and need to keep management oversight minimal.
Hackathon as agreed approach. Start with list of ideas.
Chris - we should comp students and take them on as temps.
Emily - partner with HUIT developers to capture code, avoid duplication, etc.
Chris - Need a clearing house of projects being worked on as outcomes, aggregated into a single source of information.
Logan - Dustin Tingley input would be valuable. He has done similar student prototyping engagement.
Tamara - Bok has a good structure for overseeing undergrad, just need the projects identified.
Would not be limited to sandbox projects, but some subset are. Could also task with training functions.
Rebecca hearing from seas, want computation, but not significant coding skills form students.
Logan - target should be spring term courses with real opportunities.
Emily - need a few solution groups and plug the right ones in to places - canvas, jupypter, etc.)
Chris - designate the HUIT items on the deliverable list
Chris - start an FAQ page about the use of the sandbox, e.g. generate in chatgpt, paste into jupyter notebook (action Nick Wildon).
Michael Smith - Excited about development of tools. Think we need demonstrations in classes, peer-to-peer conversations, spend time figuring out interesting projects, high impact, low effort, makes difference, isn't a nice to have. Transforms the learning in that class and can be seeded in similar class.
