[edit source]Ruth, Donna, Mungo, Leigh, Lynn and Natalie
- Leigh to generate a new session page in the 4-5 pm time slot for developing a feedback form. The group to help develop that online before mid week. Suggested inclusions: Evaluate the day. What they learned, what they want to explore more. Feedback to presenters, on format of sessions.
- Lynne and Natalie to take names at the door for sending the feedback forms to.
- Leigh to generate a How-to page, that includes information on how to set up a conference like this, and how to engage online. Instructions include how to engage with Meeting Words, Google Plus, Wikiversity, etc. Also include release advice.
- Ruth to approach Jane Long via PA Katherine Locke, to open the day. UPDATE: Not available.
- Mungo will keep time on the day.

Meetings 9 July 2013
[edit source]Health Science
[edit source]Lynne, Natalie and Leigh met to coordinate efforts.
Leigh explained the format of the Open Conference on Open Education, showing the book as one of the produced outcomes. Leigh also outlined the online presentations that have been tentatively confirmed:
- Royce Saddler. Griffith University: Feedback and assessment workload
- Willie Campbell. Otago Polytechnic: Assessment of Prior Learning
- James Neill. University of Canberra: Psychology student-generated-content
- Russell Butson. University of Otago: Dentistry student-generated-content
- David Blackall. University of Wollongong: Journalism student-generated-content
Lynne has booked a room in teh LIMS building, Natalie is booking the Health Science Meeting room for backup. We wondered if the Faculty meeting room might be the best venue. Venue TBA by the end of the week.
Work now focuses on confirming speakers and preparing a mail-out and promotional flier.
Humanities
[edit source]Donna, Mungo and Leigh met to coordinate efforts
Leigh gave a brief update on the status, and we decided to drop the 3 areas and go with "efficient and effective assessment" for simplicity sake.
We discussed a range of ideas and issues, and agreed that a presentation and discussion point was needed around the storage of assessment data, in the wake of issues of cross boarder and unwarranted state surveillance.
Donna and Mungo are seeking out 10 minute speakers from Humanities, and confirmation that their faculty will contribute to catering.

Meeting 1 July 2013
[edit source]Kathryn and Leigh met to coordinate their efforts.
Kathryn is working on a university wide audit of assessment policy, procedures and practices. She has researched classroom-based assessment extensively.
Leigh explained the format of the open conference, how it is openly organised on the wiki, and how we actively seek external critical participation as a way to prevent groupthink.
Kathryn and Leigh are focusing their efforts on finding people prepared to give a 10 minute presentation, or who might participate generally in the day. Leigh is to send Kathryn the wiki link and a blurb for sending around.

AAA Open Conference 2013
[edit source]An organising group out of the Open Conference on Open Education has formed around this topic of assessment.
In the absence of other suggestions:
- Themes
- Assessment methods that reduce workloads
- Assignments that ask people to teach others
- Activities and assignments that benefit public information
- Format
- 5-10 minute presentations for an hour, then 30 minutes discussion.
- An idea, proposal, experience, method, critique, question or problem
- Documentation
Use the wiki to document the planning and organisation and record what is generated through the day. I've taken this pre-existing page and tweaked it to fit this event.
When the organising group meet, we'll put the notes from our meetings here - on the discussion page. If we have time, we'll create a nice front facing website for the event - if our wiki-based organisation goes well.
The tiny url is tinyurl.com/aaaopenconf and that makes the hashtag "aaaopenconf". A QR code for mobile phone scanning is on the front page of the wiki, pending a poster design.
- Outputs
- Website of ideas
- Video recorded presentations
- Printed book from records
- La Trobe University discussion paper
- Paper for peer review
