Back from Winter Break

After a wonderful winter break, I'm ready to get back after this process.

I have made an observation that one may intuitively understand with out a great deal of analysis. If I am diligent with updating the announcement document everyday, even if it states the obvious, the students are more likely to take a minute at the beginning of each class to read it. There has also emerged some peer tutoring events when those who have read the announcement document have important information that those who do not read do not. The students can be heard to say, "... if you would just read the announcements..."

I need to take another look at the usability survey presented to the students; I hope to reuse the survey as a formative evaluation tool as well as an indicator of student observations of the Google Apps project.
