Achievement
    Project Completion --> Web Calendar Technology Plan

Reflection - In February 2004, Bruce Tawse, Dean School of Applied Arts and New Media, created a Curriculum Software Assessment Team to begin reviewing the College’s requirements for a curriculum database tool. The team’s goal was to make delivery of calendar information both to the College web site and to the printed medium more efficient as well as making curriculum document production and management more accessible and standardized.

Under my chairmanship, a project team was struck and a project charter drafted identifying two separate phases to the project (in fact they turned out to be two separate projects): the first being the development of a web calendar database; the second, the evaluation and adoption of curriculum database software. The stated objective of the overall project was “to acquire and implement software/databases that will enable the curriculum development and management process through to automated electronic delivery of calendar information to the College Web site, as well as producing other required printed documents (printed calendar), managing official curriculum documents to provide secure access to authorized users as well as facilitating curriculum development that complies with college standards”.

The first stage of the initiative was delivered in late 2005 with the final technology plan approved in February 2006. The Table of Contents of this Plan is attached to this item and illustrates the depth and the integrative nature of the project. I was well supported in this project with a good steering committee and eventually a strong project team - especially the project office lead, Penny MacKenzie.
