= = =Group 3: Assessment = Group Members' Names: Lisa Lopez

Here is what you enter on this wikipage:

1. How will you assess your learning experience (in your final project)? How will you know if your goals (learning goals) were met? Provide enough information so that your partner (and I) can understand and provide feedback.

=
2. Begin to create your assessment on this wikipage - use the info from the Andrew Churches link on the previous page. This is just a BEGINNING - a DRAFT. ======

=
(Suggestion: You can create it as text only (make a bulleted list) or make your table (most rubrics are in tables) in Word and then copy and paste into the wikipage. (***I find it difficult to edit tables in wikispaces. For some reason adding rows and columns once you split/merge cells is difficult. However, if there aren't split/merged cells then you should be fine!).** =====

4. It's up to you how you want to organize this page with your partner! 5.  *Don't forget to click SAVE after you edit your work! 6. ****Please place your names above your work so that we can identify your work, too!** 
 * 3. Collaborate with your partner. Give feedback in BLUE.

Lisa:

I am trying to implement the Zoho Projects into our intranet at work. I have been working on a Working Practice for my department stating the responsibilities and scope of Zoho Project to be used within the Clinical department only. My working practice is a tool that is assigned to employees to read prior to taking the actual training session. This way the employee has an understanding of what their role will be for the new working practice. The practice includes topics on:

 It fully covers the project so that employees understand the overall goal and execution of the practice. Multiple practices can be written for one project to cover the different aspects, such as study start up activities, and activities that should be followed after the close of a study.
 * Purpose
 * outline the use of Zoho Projects to manage Clinical Studies
 * Definition
 * which applications will be used in Zoho Projects and what their capabilities are
 * Scope
 * To be used by Clinical Research/Study Team Only
 * Responsiblities
 * <span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">areas affected and the responsibilities of input into Zoho Projects by each area/team member
 * <span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">BioStats, Clinical Research, Data Management, Medical Writing, Pharmacology, QA, Regulatory
 * <span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Procedures
 * <span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">when different aspects of Zoho Project will be completed (milestones/timelines)

I think the items we have learned in class will greatly help my successful implementation of this new tool at work. It may take some time to convince the "non-changers" to accept this new tool, but hopefully they will see the usefulness of Zoho Projects. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">(***How will you measure its success in your workplace? Dr. Fritz) <span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> I think I could have measured the success by first having the document and application approved for use. Second, using one "guinea pig" study to see the usefulness, and then discussing the pros/cons of using the application at the end of the study. Third, having all discussions and timelines documented in one location, and being able to go back to see comments as to why things were not completed on time, etc....

I will try to implement and maximize the use of Sharepoint in our Learning Experiences. I am responsible for Value Creation and feel that this tool would increase our peer to peer learning, knowledge management, as well as build CoPs more expansively. I can initiate the project, and feel it would have to be in Phases, based on future initiatives. <span style="background-color: #eddec4; color: #800050; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">This project is something I want to explore to increase the use of the various tools, while providing one place for individuals to manage their knowledge.
 * <span style="background-color: #f0d6ea; color: #800050; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Purpose: Find a tool that will allow the internal learner to manage their learning details, as well as collaborate with peers on various topics, all using one tool. Sharepoint can be linked to almost any tool, and is supported by our IT department.
 * <span style="background-color: #f0d6ea; color: #800050; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Definition: Understand all avenues which Sharepoint will support.
 * <span style="background-color: #f0d6ea; color: #800050; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Scope: Define uses for Internal Audiences: Sales and Engineers
 * <span style="background-color: #f0d6ea; color: #800050; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Phases: Define the uses with current tools, IT implementation, Risk Planning. Also introduce future initiatives (m-Learning and Second Life)

Assessment of this implementation would be statistics of user base, numbers of networked Communities of Practice, and holding focus groups with the Sales force on how the increase in the ability to share success stories has helped them. Once this assessment would be complete, this would provide as part of the justification for moving into Second Life and m-Learning.
