Faculty Forum

I had the opportunity to do a brief presentation at the end of Wednesday's faculty forum. A bit rushed at the end of a long session on strategy. Given slightly more time, I would have mentioned the great support for the project given by Andrea, Jon and Tracey.

Highlights: The generation of GoogleEarth overlays from data about students on programmes worked well. Generated some interest in the interface design.

Midlights: Questions asked about
data protection - the GE overlays revealed student names - I've since removed them
data integrity - a better answer would have been about the principle of allocating responsibility for data to those responsible for the task.

Lowlights: Didn't really get the timing right and forgot to check the display resolution of the projector the room - I guess thats a piece of data it would be handy to hold in a resources database.
