What This Page Is[edit]
This page is a place to list items for discussion at the next IRC Meeting - great idea? Something we're doing wrong? Neglected CVUA students? And more! Just add them to the never-ending list below - we'll go straight down the list during the meetings.

- Open tasks
- we would like to get study 3 rolling by November (3 months)
- Just to let you know, study 2 will not be completed, ever.
- we might resuscitate the Obama study... thoughts?
- Think Tank?
- Pushing the meeting back an hour or two (i.e. 2100 UTC) as 7/8am is much better than 6
- Creation of a CVUA category (which we can include all of the WP:CVUA... pages as well as pages in namespace (like User:ItsZippy/CVUA...)

- HOMEWORK! Please read the results of study 1 and the research questions.
Notes, Ideas, etc[edit]
- The instructor methods - just a quick reminder that these are useful when instructing. Tasks for you to give to your students can be found there.
- IP's - an interesting one. We discussed that we should allow anons to train in the academy, as long as they meet the chosen requirements. Please remember that unregistered users may be under a shared IP, so regarding things like past blocks or vandalism, please just AGF. Also, remember they are not allowed to receive rollback privileges.
- PERM - An idea was to have a page notice at the RFR page, advising users to sign up to the academy before applying for the rights. Please give us your ideas on this so we can gain consensus at WT:PERM. We would have to get Zippy or Yushuni to do this, as this can be done by Sysops only.
- What's next for the academy - as you may be aware, student numbers are at an all time low. Any ideas for community reach would be appreciated. Please also voice your opinions on how we, as a whole, can improve the academy
- For peeps who watch this page, you would've realised that one of my students expresses a desire not to have rollback. If this is the case, before graduation, please give them a short test to ensure they now know the big four steps, identify, revert, warn and report
- Feedback - it would be good that after every student you have trained, you ask them for feedback on how they have felt whilst in the academy. W haven't of yet got a feedback page, but that's something to look for in the future
