Interview with Anne Arendt, Web Resource Manager at UVU
I sat down with Anne Arendt, Web Resource Manager at UVU to ask a few questions about her experience managing projects. Here's an audio recording of that interview (13 minutes):
Project Concern Resources
David Wiley listed the following areas of concern for managing a project (specifically a grant project)
Reconsidering dotProject
(This is a copy of a post made earlier at http://jaredstein.org)
We've used dotProject in my Instructional Design Services unit for almost two years. dP is an open source project management and task tracking tool that has benefited our unit organizationally, and has helped us follow-through on projects in a more efficient manner. It has also helped me manage staff resources and understand time-to-delivery of common project types.
However, dP is not without its flaws

Updating the CV
I try to update my CV once a year or so, just to keep myself from forgetting things I've done (usually conference presentations) and to lighten the load of updating it the next year. I spent a couple hours on this today as part of an assignment for David Wiley's IPT 682 course. As usual, the task is both satisfying and loathsome.
