Blackboard Vista Migration Hand-Off Notes

Just some friendly reminders/clarifications/articulations about the Vista migration process:

IDS developers:

- When you complete a Vista migration you need to review it with Janel or myself.

- You must verify the functionality of each tool before we meet.

- Any Web page or content problems or nitpicks discovered during a migration review must be logged by the developer in the DE omni/nitpick system, assigned to the appropriate developer.

- Once all revisions or fixes have been made, you must e-mail Janel and let her know that the migration is complete.

- Upon receipt of e-mail verifying migration completion, Janel will e-mail Marc to let him know that faculty X's course(s) is ready and training can commence.

- Marc and I have agreed that since DE faculty are responsible for updating their assignment and quiz due dates, this task will be addressed in the faculty's Vista training. If IDS has time after all migrations are complete, we will try to go back and update some due dates, however.

We are discovering new issues and tricks all the time, so be sure to ask if you're not certain about any part of the migration process.

Thanks folks.
