Accounts
Most of the students will have panther accounts and dial-in ID's. Mary
will have a "stack" of and panther accounts to give
out to students who do not have them. Mary and Operations will organize
this. Accounts have to be activated, Mary is aware of the procedure.
Mary's students all qualify for an Access ID. If they already have one,
twenty hours per month will be added to their existing AI. If they do
not hav an AI,
Mary sends the login names of students who qualify for PTCE to Betty,
who will then set up an AI for the duration of the course.
Class Lists
Operations will provide Mary with the complete list that matches
student ID's to login names. In principle, these lists can be generated
by faculty, but as Mary's students span numerous faculties, she gets
them all. The list is put in a certain area on the VAX to which the
user gets the password. The list is updated daily.
The login names will be entered by hand into
the conference access lists, by the conference organizers. For the
future, we have to look into a service that can generate classlists
automatically. Right now, Operations can generate classlists with
login names on request and email them to who needs them (Mary has
chosen not to use them, though).
Setting up Conferences
Mary will send Gerard a list of the conferences she requires (about 15).
She will be the organizer of them all, assigning other organizers at
her discretion.
Life-time of Conferences
Probably conferences can be deleted at the end of the academic year.
Documentation
Mary has the documentation for conference organizers. We will send her
the hdi as soon as it is ready. A pointer to the documentation may need
to be put into http://www2.ptce.uwo.ca/.
Migration of Existing Conferences
Mary has no conferences that need to be migrated herself, but the NODE
may have some, e.g. Teaching and learning.
