    D&D Division Ning: As those of you who attended D&D Membership meeting during the 2009 Convention know, in June 2009 our division created a new social network for the AECT Design and Development Division. Some of the information and activities you will find in this site includes:

    We hope this site will help facilitate more communication and collaboration among division members as well as increase participation. Therefore, we would like to see more D&D members actively participate in this social network.

    To join, please go to http://aectdd.ning.com/.  Feel free to post convention photos, participate in discussions, and/or just communicate with each other.

    D&D Second Life Needs Assessment Survey: In an effort to better serve our membership we are expanding our services to include a group space in Second Life that will offer exciting new opportunities for socialization, collaboration, education, training, and other design and development work. Dr. Michael A. Evans of Virginia Tech and his team have offered to lead the venture into our new space within Second Life. To help with development, we ask all D&D members to complete a brief survey at http://bit.ly/a7c948 by February 15, 2010. This survey will be used to identify the required and desired tools, features and activities within SL.

    D&D Webinar: Join us on February 25, 2010  3:00 – 4:00 PM EST for our first D&D webinar where Dr. Patricia A. Young will present “Integrating Culture in the Design of ICTS”.

If you have a student who may be interested in this task please contact 2010 Competition Chair Karen Kaminski at kaminski@cahs.colostate.edu. This opportunity could also serve useful as a course project.

    2010 AECT Convention Update: Proposal deadline is extended to March 5, 2010 midnight EST.

    D&D Showcase: Those of you who are planning to submit to the D&D Showcase, please note that D&D Showcase is added as one of the three proposal types embedded in this year’s proposal submission system.

    D&D Board Meeting Notes – November 12, 2009 1:00 PM (EST)

    December 17th, 2009

    Design & Development Board Meeting Notes
    November 12, 2009 1:00pm (Eastern Time)

    1. Introductions
    a. Attendee introductions: Monica Tracey, Amy Adcock, Michael Evans, Deniz Eseryel, Elizabeth Boling, Ike Choi, Tom Hergert, Karen Kaminski
    i. Karen Kaminski, organizer of 2010 PacifiCorp Competition, will be joining to the Board meetings to keep us updated on PacifiCorp
    ii. GSA will have a run off election for the D&D student representative position. Currently, there is only one person interested in the position. We have to get in touch with the new President of GSA [Mike Rooke mrooke@pscu.edu] to get in touch with Amy Adcock and keep her informed on who is elected so we can include him/her in the Board meetings.
    iii. Ike will also invite the co-facilitator of the D&D Showcase to the future Board meetings.

    2. Reflections on the 2009 Conference: Amy Adcock
    a. AECT considers a third-party conference program. We want to make sure that we make an input to the leadership re different proposal criteria and different deadlines. Elizabeth will coordinate this effort.

    b. Mike Spector is working on the review system
    i. Putting in the rubrics we used in the conference: MJ Bishop, Tiffany Koszalka, and Elizabeth Boling developed a rubric that shows review criteria for the three different types of proposals D&D typically receives. These rubrics are really useful for the D&D conference planning. Ike Choi also mentioned that they also use a special rubric for reviewing proposals sent for the D&D Showcase. Ike will email this rubric to Amy. Amy will contact Mike Spector to put both rubrics in the review system for D&D.

    c. Continuation of successful programs: Showcase, PacifiCorp, Professor’s Forum
    i. Amy received very good feedback re D&D conference program
    ii. IDT Professor’s Forum was super successful, thanks Monica for coordinating that; we will keep it in the next year’s conference
    iii. Another successful year with the PacifiCorp Competition. The deadline for the 2010 PacifiCorp will be around May.
    iv. D&D Showcase: We are very happy with the attendance to the D&D Showcase this year.
    • Ike Choi will continue with the D&D Showcase in the next year; the Call for Proposals will go out with the regular proposal deadline but we are also deliberating to extend the deadline. Ike mentioned that they usually receive more proposals if the deadline is extended by one month beyond the conference proposal deadline. Several members, who are teaching ID classes indicated that their students in these classes develop very innovative products but due to the Feb deadline they cannot submit it to the Showcase, suggesting that am end-of-April deadline could be a better for this purpose, however, we also have to consider the time it takes to review the proposals and so on.
    • In order to advertise D&D Showcase to a wider audience, we will have a separate website for D&D Showcase that is linked to the D&D website and also include information on the D&D Showcase on the D&D Ning. Ike will provide information on the past winners, pictures, etc. Deniz will support development of the website.

    3. Second Life Development Updates: Michael Evans
    a. Three graduate students from Virginia Tech and one student from University of Oklahoma volunteered to further develop D&D Second Life space under the leadership with Michael Evans.
    b. How best should we go about the redesigning the Second Life? We received several suggestions from the members during the Membership Meeting (see minutes for details). Deniz will invite D&D members to extend the discussion on the D&D Ning so we can determine the requirements of the D&D members for the D&D Second Life space. Our plan is to have this list by the end of January and to have the D&D Second Life space redesigned by the end of the Spring semester.
    c. Deniz, Mike, Amy invite others who are interested in joining them to co-teach a class on Educational Gaming next Spring in the D&D Second Life space.

    4. D&D Election Slate: Monica Tracey
    a. Suggestions for candidates (VP of Communication, Board Member)
    i. During the Division Round Tables, quite a few people put down their names in the lists for volunteers and officers.
    ii. Six indicated interest for the officer positions:
    i. Monica will contact them to make sure they are still interested

    b. Suggestions for recruitment
    i. Board members are invited to nominate officers. If you have additional names, please contact Monica with their names and email addresses by Friday, November 20, 2009. Monica will then send an email everyone on the list asking for their short bio, skill-set, and why they are interested in serving for the D&D Division. The plan is to get this information to the Board Members by the December 4th so everyone can review each profile before the next Board meeting. Elections are going to take place in January so our goal is to decide on the candidates by Christmas. We can only have 4 people run so at the next board meeting, we should decide on which 4.

    5. Communication Initiative: Deniz Eseryel
    a. Ning Update
    i. Quite a few people joined the D&D Ning following the D&D Conference, especially those who attended the Membership meeting.
    ii. Amy posted wonderful pictures of the D&D Showcase and the Award winners
    iii. New discussion threads started
    iv. We have to make sure more members actively participate in the D&D Ning. Deniz will send an email to the listserv introducing the Ning, once again. She has been waiting for Larry Vernon to get access to the D&D Listserv. She will give him a call to speed this up.
    b. Tech Trends Update
    i. TechTrends conference write-ups are due to Abbie 12/1

    6. Schedule for upcoming meetings
    a. Thursday afternoons create a conflict for at least one person so Amy is going to WhenIsGood request (http://whenisgood.net/) to find a day/time that will work for all the Board Members.
    b. Meet in December?: We will meet in December to decide on the candidates for the elections. If all goes wrong, we could get it done via email, however, everyone indicated that they would like to meet. The day/time will be decided based on everyone’s availability on WhenIsGood.

    7. Feedback to AECT Leadership: Board Members are asked to provide their feedback to Amy, who is going to be sitting on the AECT Board Meetings so she can provide input on behalf of the D&D Board.
    a. On raising AECT conference rates:
    b. On AECT joining to the New Media Consortium:
    c. On the University Reception:
    i. Elizabeth mentioned that Mike Spector is asking for feedback about the University receptions. There are mixed reactions.
