For the About section based on the presentation slides (feel free to edit; I couldn't remember how much space we have):

A bit about us...

UMSI/Discover is a joint project between UMSI Path Group, UMSI Career Development Office, and a learning analytics fellowship from UM’s Center for Research on Learning and Teaching (CLRT). We want to help prospective students, enrolled master’s degree candidates, and graduating seniors thinking about UMSI for graduate study connect SI courses with the many emerging information science skills and careers available today. 

Our focus is on you---the individual---so use UMSI/Discover as a tool for discovering which skills, courses, careers, and alumni will help you on your path.

Hi Ying,

Attached are the slides with some notes attached to relevant pages.  I added notes with bullets followed by paragraphs.  dont worry about adding the paragraphs, those were just notes for me and to help you make sense of what the bullet might address.

Kimberly, our 'about' page can definitely draw on the second sections of our presentation (Important Distinctions), mind drawing up a written paragraph around the topics from that slide?  The "what is umsi discover" slide draws from the welcome text on the site, so we have that covered.

Thanks for updating the slides.

Best,

Edgar

New version attached. Pay particular attention to the text in pink -- those are things I'm not sure about. Also, the "Next Steps" slides are just things off the top of my head, let me know if you think there are things we should/should not include.

Send me notes and I will modify!

I tend to agree with Kimberly.

Into

What we are doing

Important distinctions about program (navigation not recommend, role of data strategy, etc)

Demo

What we think should happen next

Discussion

I think that's what we need.

the one thing from the process that I wanted to bring up was our shift from recommendation system to navigation system

team role to emphasize they need a data strategist

and from restraints to talk about what we have been able to accomplish and still plan to accomplish next year so they don't feel this is the end all.

though I see your point, we don't really need a detailed slide as already included.. maybe just a bland slide that just says 'discussion' and then we can bring these up?

Others might think differently, but I think the only slides we need are: intro, what is umsi/discover, and the demo. Team roles, process, and restraints---well, bless the CDO, but if they were just amassing data up to this point, a discussion of process, etc. seems superfluous. 

Best,

Kimberly

Hi all,

I have attached the presentation our group gave for 664 -- let me know what modifications we want to make to it (such as take out "Issues" slide? etc). I'll be sure to change the cover and title page, etc. Also, since Emily and Jessica won't be there, someone will have to take over their roles, especially Emily's role of walking through the website. Whoever does that should contact her for her notes. Let me know you thoughts!

Ok so, where am I putting this?

[Edgar Nuñez]

that's text for the about page for the website, Thanks Kimberly!

It would also be good to add how discovery is the new recommendation; and the other reasons we are innovative and have important distinctions and considerations, such as have a data backbone primed for analysis / learning analytics and visualization, and that these connections bring the content to life through context and provides a 'rigorous'  /applied  approach to the course catalogue (rigor as its ability to be applied to many things)

[Kimberly Springer]

Okay, so to be clear: to my knowledge we don't have an About Page. Are you suggesting we do have an About Page? 

If we do have an About Page or such a statement, I don't think it needs all that stuff about "data backbones" and visualization. UMSI/Discover should tell a story and in this instance, we need to "show" not "tell." Y'all HCI/data-types can work that angle in your portfolios. I'll probably be stealing that language for my prefab "About.me" or Vizify.

Save something for fans, boo. 

Best,

Kimberly
