<elisabeth_UCF> Thanks, Sarah!

David: Introductions
... Background on community group

<sloandr> https://www.w3.org/community/accesslearn/wiki/Work_Streams#1._Gap_analysis_of_existing_WAI_documents

David: Workstream proposal
... Initial proposal based on discussions from last month's meeting. Parallel activities probably
... One workstream looking at gap analysis, where do W3C resources cover online learning, where are there gaps, what additions might we recommend
... Our group does not have ability to produce documents, but we can look at gaps in existing W3C and WAI resources
... Other workstream to look at what online learning community needs, more open discussion of what's needed
... Two workstreams come together down the road to produce recommendations for W3C
... Purpose of today's meeting to discuss workstream proposal
... Do they make sense, are they activities the groups wants to be involved in
... Open meeting to discussion of proposal

Lisa: Likes idea of two streams, both can do different things but work together, two streams go well together
... What kind of results are expected from workstreams? Is it a report, webpage?
... What about a timeline?
... Survey and/or report, everyone could work on that no matter where they are. We are in different parts of the world, what works best.

Elizabeth: This group could come up with recommendations for improvement, not sure how it would be received.

David: We have links to W3C and specifically WCAG WG, through Laura and Sarah especially. This is a communications channel that our group can use.
... Also EOWG, if still active — test of how well community group model works, whether our work can have an impact on W3C processes/resources
... How can we make sure out work has a impact? Might be one activity to determine that now, good conversation to have now. Sarah and Dave will explore and report back to group

Sushil: On second workstream, are we looking at specific environments?

David: Have not arrived at formal definition of "education" — only constraints are W3C accessibility standards and how they apply to practice of designing and delivering online learning experiences

Lisa: Agrees with viewpoint of looking at museums, libraries, etc — will this work for everyone?

David: Identify variances in online learning community, perhaps one early activity would be to define range

Sushil: Will have to organize work by tools, e.g., learning management systems, museum online education program organized by exhibit, other tools like online conferencing systems, will need to come up with method of categorizing, will have to break into tools or some other classification to make specific recommendations.

David: Activities are very different depending on context, for example, how to onboard user, will be different depending on context (e.g., kiosk in museum, MOOC, university student)
... Other comments on workstream proposal?

Sandra: Agrees on forming two workgroups, let's start organizing each group and let each group manage its work

David: Will need to decide on logistics, e.g., meeting times

Sushil: Have we identified W3C documents for first workstream?

David: Yes, posting link

<sloandr> https://www.w3.org/community/accesslearn/wiki/Relevant_W3C_Resources_on_Accessible_Online_Learning

David: First attempt at listing resources from the W3C site, avoided (normative) guideline documents, focused on guidance documents — a starter to give sense of different available resources
... Will want to look beyond accessibility documents at others that have an impact on accessibility
... For example, personas of students/instructors with disabilities was identified as a useful resource. There are "personas" on W3C site that include learners, so that might be one worth expanding/developing

<egyrs> Agree ;-9

David: Use of surveys?

Sarah: Discussion of use of survey to make decisions for the group

David: Reminder to work on surveys that we had administered previously

Lisa: After today, how about doing a survey everyone is in agreement for the two streams
... Also use it to choose which workstream
... Then use surveys to decide on how the groups work

David: We also have the wiki to work on and collaborate on documents
... The wiki is public, good evidence of our work
... Let us know if you have any issues getting access to edit the wiki.
... Actions: a) update workstream proposal based on discussion, b) launch survey to ask who wants to be invovled, c) Sarah and Dave will propose a working model
... Ted asked about potential of group having informal meeting at CSUN
... Who on call is planning to attend CSUN?
... CSUN is largest conference focused on digital accessibility
... Will ask on the mailing list and see if we can make something happen

<elisabeth_UCF> I was just able to log into the wiki

David: Next meeting time will be during CSUN conference, may try to meet up at CSUN, and next teleconference in April
